Time Based: Sonic Interventions

2 days ago | theskinny.co.uk | Tony Inglis

“Ukraine suffers difficult times of depression at the level of millions of people. Art, music disappears. Producers who we recognise in the world are going to war. We need to continue to support the scene in Ukraine as long as possible.” These are the words of Alice Haspyd, an experimental artist from Ukraine whose audiovisual work has been on show at festivals and galleries across Europe.
Eli Keszler - Eli Keszler

1 month ago | theskinny.co.uk | Tony Inglis

Album title: Eli Keszler Artist: Eli Keszler Label: LUCKYME Release date: 2 May Voices on Eli Keszler’s latest self-titled record are rarely plainspoken. It begins with a gasp, and gives way to words whispered, uttered and beamed from another place. The composer and percussionist doesn’t so much centre vocals on this album – whether they’re his own, his collaborators’, or of undefined origin – as he does allow them to mill about and live in the gaps in these songs’ walls.
Maria Somerville album review: Luster

1 month ago | theskinny.co.uk | Tony Inglis

Album title: Luster Artist: Maria Somerville Label: 4AD Release date: 25 Apr There’s a perfect place to listen to Luster. It’s probably just before sunrise, and the streetlamps are about to dim. It’s cold enough to see your breath, but the vapour quickly gets lost in the mist that surrounds you. The pavements are quiet, just you and your headphones.
Perfume Genius - Glory

2 months ago | theskinny.co.uk | Tony Inglis

Album title: Glory Artist: Perfume Genius Label: Matador Release date: 28 Mar Mike Hadreas has written about our bodies and how easily they break before. But perhaps never so viscerally – or with as much bombast – as on No Front Teeth, Hadreas making the gap left where familiarity used to be seem as beautiful as what was there before. They’re 'broken apart and shining', now sheathed within the fabric of his clothes; there may be no front teeth, but there’s still 'a feeling I know'.
Ichiko Aoba album review: Luminescent Creatures

Feb 25, 2025 | theskinny.co.uk | Tony Inglis

Album title: Luminescent Creatures Artist: Ichiko Aoba Label: hermine Release date: 28 Feb In Jeff Vandermeer’s Southern Reach novels, characters navigate an unchartered ecosystem that assimilates, regurgitates and realigns personal geographies.
Mount Eerie album review: Night Palace

Oct 28, 2024 | theskinny.co.uk | Tony Inglis

Album title: Night Palace Artist: Mount Eerie Label: P.W. Elverum & Sun Release date: 1 Nov Phil Elverum continues to muddy the idea of a musical identity on his first album since 2020. That was billed by The Microphones, yet sounded closer to his autobiographical reflections of grief as Mount Eerie. Night Palace is a Mount Eerie record, but is genetically linked to The Glow Pt. 2… which he made as The Microphones.
Feel the Stitches: An Interview with Moin

Oct 14, 2024 | thequietus.com | Patrick Clarke |Tony Inglis

“I just wanna say I really appreciate this ‘cause nobody ever asks to use my voice for a track.”These are the words we hear at the start of ‘Lift You’, by Moin. We often hear voices on their tracks. Frequently, they’re obscured, chopped up, usually excavated from an unclear origin – and Moin like to keep it uncertain. This voice is different though. It’s likely home-recorded – room tone sits thick behind the speaker – but this time it’s clear and precise.
Japandroids album review: Fate & Alcohol

Oct 14, 2024 | theskinny.co.uk | Tony Inglis

Album title: Fate & Alcohol Artist: Japandroids Label: ANTI- Release date: 18 Oct Fate & Alcohol is the definitive final statement we never thought we’d get from Japandroids – a good band with one perfect album, and an underappreciated misfire of a third record the duo thought would be their OK Computer or their White Pony that seemed destined to be their farewell. As it happens, Brian King and David Prowse had one final yell like hell to the heavens to deliver.
Oliver Coates on Throb, shiver, arrow of time

Oct 8, 2024 | theskinny.co.uk | Tony Inglis

When filmmaker Steve McQueen took out his phone to Shazam a track sounding like a cello compressed into millions of disintegrating atoms he heard while shopping, he discovered it was part five of musician, composer, and in-demand film scorer Oliver Coates’ suite Caregiver from his 2020 album skins n slime.
MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks

Sep 1, 2024 | theskinny.co.uk | Tony Inglis

Album title: Manning Fireworks Artist: MJ Lenderman Label: ANTI- Release date: 6 Sep 'Please don’t laugh / Only half of what I said was a joke', sings MJ Lenderman on Joker Lips, a twinge of disappointment in his voice. This is the everyman, heralded for riffing about Jackass and Dan Marino over the twang and hiss of countrygaze. On Manning Fireworks, he’s not sure where that’s left him – does he have something serious to say?
