Sireena.side project for members of The Convent, Xymox, The Sound, The Chameleons, The Church….
Carlton Melton – Where This Leads
Agitated“Where This Leads should really be subtitled Nobody Knows, the album as a whole a strong foot forward to the exciting unknown.”
GHXST – Dark Days EP

Future Islands – As Long As You Are
4AD“a good band not quite able or willing to become a great one.”
Asteroid No.4 – Northern Songs

Osees – Protean Threat
Castle Face“picking up this particular receiver always feels like listening in to some premium-charge sex-line”
Eternell – Imagined Distances
Sound In Silence‘a stunning entry into the world of downtempo, ambient dreampop’
White Manna – ARC
Cardinal Fuzz/Centripetal Force“a lot of their former feedback and fuzz further disappearing in the rear-view mirror, White Manna are now content to just jam it out”
Secret Drum Machine – Chuva
Moon GlyphThis “rhythmic work-out of a sophomore album draws its influence from insect sentience and ecological synesthesia, their music intended to evoke senses other than the auditory”
Cloud Factory – # 1 EP
Howlin' BananaA surprisingly decent listen “influenced by indie-pop, post-punk and – don’t wince – Britpop”
Naujawanan Baidar – Volume 1&2
Cardinal Fuzz/Feeding Tube“A celebration of the intoxicating sounds of 1960s-80s Afghan cassette culture”
