MOĆ VEŠTICA: Covidovdan

13 Louisville bands/Artists (including Bonnie 'Prince' Billy) cover 1993's THERE IS NO-ONE WHAT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU by the Palace Brothers for it's 20th anniversary.

Errant godfather to the Brixton Windmill scene, Jerskin Fendrix's debut offers a serpentine dance through different genres and personae, finds Patrick Clarke

The British-Barbadian jazz saxophonist and his South African players narrate the apocalypse from a distant future, suggesting that in order to build anew, some things will first need to burn.

 

Originally issued in 1993 and the last African Head Charge album on On-U Sound for 12 years, released at the height of the band’s popularity as a staple of live music festivals.

 

In typical Cope stylee, the 13 songs of SELF CIVIL WAR brim with sound FX, enormous orchestral arrangements, timeless uprisings of Ur-folk and hefty near-Krautrock anthems. It’s the first release in Cope’s ‘Our Troubled Times’ series, and a fine temporary refuge from our daily bombardment by media luvvies and fuckhead world leaders who take us all for idiots.

 

Leeds band I Like Trains return with their first studio album in eight years. Kompromat 

German producer and composer Hendrik Weber, who is approaching two decades of releasing music as Pantha du Prince, would no doubt agree. His new album, Conference of Trees, is driven by a related, and self-directed, question: What does it sound like when trees communicate?

 

Speedy Wunderground

“Narcissus” is a wonderfully disco-drenched number with the soulful cocksure vibe of Prince, but hemmed beautifully with a Primal Scream edge.

Nicolás Jaar wrote much of his arresting third album in isolation, holed up in a remote corner of the world without booze, cigarettes, or caffeine.

 

If you’ve listened at all to English, Irish, or Appalachian folk music or any of their many revivals, you’ll spot familiar archetypes and icons.

CLEPSYDRA, released at the start of May, is every bit as benevelont as its predecessors, perhaps even more so. Intended to help writers through creative blocks, CLEPSYDRA journeys down roads and across vistas, merges field recordings of nature with mechanical whirrings and dissonant instruments, and puts the voice of the Black orator front and center.

If Meatraffle was born in a South London Wetherspoons then Bastard Music came to life at Brixton’s Windmill. It is hard to dissociate the band from contemporaries such as Shame, Warmduscher, and Fat White Family. Delving further, artists such as Pregoblin, Peeping Drexels, and Sleaze come to mind. Brixton, Peckham and New Cross is a fruitful breeding ground for new music.
