Never before has Star Wars been so visceral, and so poignant. While the brio of the original trilogy of course had its moments, its younger target audience and camp sensibility held back the darkness lurking beneath the surface. Andor, being a 15 rated show, has given the franchise new, more…

That was a crazy week. Facebook servers down, Facebook whistle-blower, a bombshell inquiry into the French Catholic Church, and the Pandora Papers. Picking a topic was tough. On the 3rd of October 11.9 million documents were leaked by an anonymous source, and subsequently published by the International Consortium of Investigative…

Cocteau Twins - Cherry-coloured Funk — A gem has been discovered. From the belly of central Scotland, my own backyard, this Grangemouth band has been under my radar for far too long. This track is beautiful. Coated in a nostalgic, dreamy ambience, it sucks you in. The curious and bizarre lyrics serenade you. And then the chorus. The melodies… my god. They hit you with a strength.

Willow - Untitled B1 — Deep levels here my friends. Willow has an extremely limited discography, with a few tracks here and there that you can find on YouTube, but she has only one major release really, Workshop 23. All four tracks on here are excellent. My personal favourite, is Untitled B1. This track (along with the others) land(s) in an ethereal middle ground, somewhere between Electronica, Deep House, Techno, and even Ambient. Beautiful melodies, shifting soundscapes, hypnotic movements, groove, all in one. Its soulful, technical, intimate. It’s quite the release. B1's melodies, just, land right where they need to. Addictively repetitive. So many feelings conjured up in so few sounds. In this one, the question lies with you, do you wanna cut shapes? Or go inward?
