Robert Jukič 4 + Bram De Looze: Congregation

Read "Congregation" reviewed by Maciej Stasiowski


How about approaching this one through visuals rather than sound for a change? Album covers alone do a remarkable job of transporting us into a particular state of mind, and Robert Jukic's catalog testifies to a consistently compelling visual identity. Izza's (ZKPRTVS, 2022) forsaken armchair beside a crooked telegraph pole or the disintegrating Ford Cortina in the woods on We All Bleed (Real Over Junk, 2026) are every bit as persuasive as the music itself--because of the atmosphere they evoke. ...

Velkro: Don't Wait for the Revolution

Read "Don't Wait for the Revolution" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


In comune hanno un background profondamente radicato nel folklore della propria terra, poi poco altro. A cominciare dalla nazionalità -Bostjan Simon è sloveno, Stephan Meidell norvegese e Luis Candeias portoghese -proseguendo con gli interessi musicali che spaziano dall'hip hop al noise, dal rock alternativo all'elettronica e al jazz. La sfida di Velkro, questo il nome del trio, è quella di vedere l'effetto che fa quando diverse attitudini e variegati approcci stilistici si riuniscono sotto il segno dell'improvvisazione, ...
