New Album From Chelsea Wolfe

The dark, bewitching folk-noir and heartbreaking pop of Chelsea Wolfe has, over the past three albums, gradually infiltrated, then beguiled, and then seduced us completely. Unique in her outlook, she uses drone, echoing vocals, and electronica to weave haunting, foggy tales of (often) despair, loss and sorrow.

New Single From Public Service Broadcasting

We loved the Public Service Broadcasting single Signal 30 and the album from which it came, Inform Educate Entertain. The latest single from it is this one, Theme From PSB. It takes in pioneering American news broadcaster Edward R. Murrow’s famous speech from 1958, celebrating an instrument that can ‘teach… illuminate and yes, even inspire’, breezing along to a climax which invokes the very best that … Continue reading New Single From Public Service Broadcasting
