Splashh - Comfort Album Review
It’s cold. It’s wet. It’s Palmy.
It’s amazing how Splashh’s debut Comfort transforms my predawn jaunt across the city from lamentation to liberation. How on a day without Comfort I can arrive at work as the personification of a weeping willow, and the next day as jocund as a daffodil.
I owe it all to Splashh’s high energy, sun filled release.
The music is bright, fast and catchy. A mash-up of different styles that together form a uniquely Splashh sound that lies somewhere in alt-rock. It’s hard to pin down, without making up genres like surfgaze or psychedelic fuzz punk. And then, when you’ve decided exactly what Splashh sounds like, the next song has started and it falls beyond the boundaries of your description. It’s the same fuzzy guitars, punchy bass, fast drums and ethereal vocals, the same summery vibe, but a different style.
Comfort is like candy. The good type of candy. And the tracks are like jelly beans. Those expensive gourmet jelly beans. They’re all jelly beans, they’re all sweet, but each one has their own flavours and after tastes. And there are no liquorice ones. And just as well, because no one really likes those.
Comfort is available now. Check out the Splashh Facebook for more details on how to get your hands on it (https://www.facebook.com/splashh.band). Well worth a listen. It won’t warm you up, but it will remind you that summer is coming soon for us in the Southern Hemisphere.

You know that thing where the letter B has a personality, or words have textures and colours? That’s called synaesthesia.

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.

day13n - Album Review: /7/13/7/
06 Aug 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
I’m too old for this world. We’ve devolved to the point where music is only as good as the soundtrack to your 10 second TikTok, and the thirty thousand copies recycling the idea.

The New Existentialists - Single Review: Invocation
16 Jul 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
The New Existentialists, a doom metal band known for their dark and atmospheric soundscapes, have just… Wait a minute… No. The New Existentialists are really not a doom metal band, and they’re really not known for their dark soundscapes… They’re more known as stalwarts of a bygone era.

Samuel Philip Cooper - Album Review: Journey to Sobriety
01 Jun 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
Samuel Philip Cooper sits on the brink of social media stardom, with videos of his belting out pop music piano covers from behind a pair of thick spectacles racking up views and likes on Insta. Little do any of the mindless doom scrollers swiping through his reels know, but percolating behind his eye brows is the very key to their very salvation.
