I’m rather chuffed to be a tiny part of this juggernaut of an album by the prolific Marcus H.
Album
Out of Season by Ivan the Tolerable
Another top record from Ivan the Tolerable & His Elastic Band. I’d recommend that you give it a listen. It’s super good
Ivan The Tolerable & The Elastic Band -Rations
June has turned out to be a wonderfully musical month in our house. I received a copy of Rations by Ivan the Tolerable & The Elastic Band. Dense, mesmerizing, motorik, kosmische..it’s a stunner. Get a copy here
Shrug – Island Complex
Soiled – Phonic Grafts
Soiled is Marcus H, originally from Bristol he now inhabits the liminal zone between industrial Teesside and rural North Yorkshire. For me, his albums are psychogeographic explorations of the harsh beauty of steel mills, cooling towers and cracker columns pitched against the red in tooth and claw reality of rural East Cleveland. Phonic Grafts beautifully dances in and around these themes, melding together elements of his West Country origins and industrial electronica with contrasting shades of light and dark pastoral psychedelia.
