A new recording from The Cosmic Dead chappies is a cause for celebration indeed!

Rainbowhead is the latest long player opus, from these magi gadgies with the magic beans.

I feel blessed to have witnessed the sonic assault of these guys live – both times on the hallowed stage of Eindhoven Psych Lab.

10 000 Russos – there may only be 3 of my Portuguese celtic brethren, but the sonic whirlwind they sow, sounds like dez mil Makhnovshchina in full, glorious epic flight.

Back in that hallowed, revolutionary month of May last year, I’d had the unmitigated pleasure of hearing 10 000 Russos, but I had yet to witness the assault on the senses that is their live show.

Desert Mountain Tribe comprise Jonty Balls on Guitar/ Vocals, Philipp Jahn on Bass and brother Felix Jahn on Drums.

Either That Or The Moon is this power trio’s first full length album, a welcome follow up to 2014’s promising self-titled EP.

A quick trawl of my Facebook activity log, shows me first posting the video for ‘Take a Ride‘ in March of 2014 – one of those arresting tracks with an immediacy and presence, which further cemented DMT’s inclusion on The Reverb Conspiracy Volume 2.

Tales of Murder and Dust return with their second long player, The Flow In Between.

The Aarhus five piece currently comprise Christian Sinding Søndergaard, Kristoffer Vilsgaard, Simon Toftdahl Olesen, Jacob Korsgaard Jensen and Stine Kloster.

“Formed in 2007, Tales of Murder and Dust plays a dark, experimental mixture of psychedelic rock and Shoe-gaze wrapped in a cinematic sound merging noisy guitars, violin, organ and sitar.”

JuJu is Gioele Valenti, Lay Llamas collaborator and musical alter ego behind Herself.

JuJu is his current vehicle, highlighting a chapter in the, “on-going exodus from Africa that more often than not ends in ignored tragedies at sea”.

Through the medium of music, JuJu the artist achieves his stated goal, “to turn that defeat into a celebration”. A theme which is beautifully expressed with the artwork inclusion of Géricault’s ‘Study of a Model’, an inspiration for his masterpiece, and long time favourite of mine, ‘The Raft of the Medusa’.
