Sophia – Holding On / Letting Go
Flower Shop Recordings. P.I.A.S.Another Sophia album and its another good one.
Another Sophia album and its another good one.
“a good band not quite able or willing to become a great one.”
“a strongly melodic, fuzzy delight start to finish” from the psyche veterans.
“picking up this particular receiver always feels like listening in to some premium-charge sex-line”
‘a stunning entry into the world of downtempo, ambient dreampop’
“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”
This “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”
A surprisingly decent listen “influenced by indie-pop, post-punk and – don’t wince – Britpop”
“A celebration of the intoxicating sounds of 1960s-80s Afghan cassette culture”
“You’d be hard pressed to find a record which better describes the feeling of 2020.”
“bleak kosmische staring down the barrel of hard-psych”
“Ballet Of Apes is pretty cool the more you get to know it. Just don’t go expecting it to put out on the first date.”
“Think music’s all out of ideas these days? Think again. Fishland is nothing if not unique.”
“Narita slays, his Live PSF a siren call for all absent gig-goers the world over.”
