Baby Scream (feat. Eze Gruber): Limbo

Valencia-based Argentinian power pop musician Juan Pablo Mazzola planned to release the material for the new Baby Scream album as Limbo as a collection of acoustic tracks, a concept had explored on his Castell de Pop. He invited his fellow expat and keyboard player Eze Gruber, with whom he had recorded the Loco Club 2023 live EP, to fill out the sound and slowly but surely the pair gravitated to a louder sound, sharing the feeling of being lost in a country where people speak the same language, but is also quite different.

Wandering in an environment that never feels like home, even after living in Spain for so long, inspired Mazzola to dig into his own experiences as well as others who share likewise emotions, with some of them trying to find solace by smoking a lot of pot (Puppets). He also looks at the world at large that is going to shit in ways nobody could have predicted (21st Century Bullshit), with nutjobs in office who don't give a fuck (The Jester).

Steven Wilson: the Innerviews interview

Anil Prasad interviewed Steven Wilson about his new album Requiem for a Village for his Innerviews website. They also talk about his work with No-Man, Porcupine Tree and Storm Corrosion, and his work as a sought-after ATMOS mixer. His love for folk horror, under the influence of British TV shows he watched as a kid, is all over his new album:

This idea is very relevant in the age of social media because this community is relatively cut off. It’s not part of the digital highway. These people are very insular. That’s the great thing about folk horror—the idea of going into a community that’s idyllic on the surface, but there’s something very perverse, peculiar, and eccentric underneath. Some might say pagan. The idea of having your own religious beliefs, which have no bearing on the rest of the world, is at the heart of a lot of folk horror.

Mint Biscuit: Circadian Thoughts

Welsh musician Richard Thomas keeps mum on Circadian Thoughts, the latest album by his Mint Biscuit project, a collection of instrumentals inspired by his immediate surroundings (Tumble Dryer Tumble, Coffee Stains) and ailments. The latter features most prominently in Skip The Light Lumbago (yes, that is reference to Procol Harum's A White Shade of Pale, an acoustic excursion with a persistent rhythm about his back giving him a really hard time.

He contemplates going to the motions of everyday life - "circadian" is a fancy name for the 24-hour cycle - counting his blessings and being haunted by worries as well. It is a snapshot of stories without using actual words, just letting his guitars and amps do the talking. Thomas is a brutally honest chronicler, who uses subtle rhythm changes to indicate a change of mood (or scenery). Only countless hours of practice and perseverance can accomplish that.
