Red Sky Blues - Album Review: Red Sky Blues
We’re all quietly insane, some are just louder than the
rest. An apt description of the songs on Red Sky Blues’s eponymous album. The
results are the same, the feeling of you face melting down your neck into your
drink, but the process is different, and so is the drink.
The song Dwell, that’s a slowly sipped Bahama Mama with Jamaican rum in a stale and dusty hotel room during a stormy day on a tropical island. Glowing is three fat fingers of bourbon on the rocks, one you’re trying to drink pressed forcibly against the speakers in the front of a raging mosh-pit in a cramped local bogan bar.
The sound is an upbeat mix of Doom Metal and Psych Rock, as if Beastwars or Mastodon cranked it up to Mars Volta level frenetic. Art Rock meets the hard stuff. The 420 is strong with this one.
It’s an eclectic, international sound, unlike anything you’d usually find around here. Where would I have even found this band if it wasn’t for my spurious ties to the industry? It’s so hard to find these little air pockets of amaze in a sea of s***e. There just isn’t much like this out there and I wouldn’t know where to look.
Lucky for you, there is me. Red Sky Blues is available from the Red Sky Blues Bandcamp Page, and I can’t recommend this album enough. It’s a trip.

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.

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.
