Laura Cole – Sky Chord / Haptic Space Laura's familiarity with the chosen tracks means that their transition from Axis pieces to #solo #piano affairs for disc one is absolutely seamless, retaining the initial seed, but taking it into a whole other realm.. the intimacy and vibrancy is almost palpable; you can feel yourself in the room as the pieces are stripped down and then re-skinned, their soul retained in the new form. #jazz #musicreview https://freq.org.uk/reviews/laura-cole-sky-chord-haptic-space/

Fox

Architects – Animals.

I really dig the drum work in this song, it is much more notable than on other tracks even by the band! When combined with really great work on the bass and cracking lyrics it is all there for me. I love the aggressive nature of the chorus too yet it has this delicate underbelly too.

Rex

St Jimmy

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Aeroplane

I have been on 4 aeroplanes in the last two weeks for Rex and my wedding and honeymoon, so it was only fitting that I chose a song about an aeroplane.

Duo Reflections – La Tregua Their sound is one of communion and discovery and this latest album draws together eight originals and one cover of an old Denis Badault track, and further pushes their adventures beyond the realms of #jazz and into a silvery, reverb-filled dream world where rhythm and texture are amorphous things that ebb and flow with the mood. #musicreview https://freq.org.uk/reviews/duo-reflections-la-tregua/
David Bixler – Incognito Ergo Sum Sax man David Bixler has been playing for the best part of thirty years, be it solo or as a part of various different collaborations. For Incognito Ergo Sum, he has teamed back up with long time foils Fabio Rojas on percussion and Dan Loomis on bass to pursue a follow up to 2020’s Inside The Grief. #jazz #musicreview #postbop https://freq.org.uk/reviews/david-bixler-incognito-ergo-sum/
The Lemonheads – Love Chant Clocking in at mere thirty-six minutes, Love Chant certainly doesn’t overstay its welcome, which means inviting it back for repeat airings is not hard to do. Although it won’t catapult Dando back to crossover celebrity status -- which is arguably a good thing -- Love Chat is a commendable regeneration for The Lemonheads, one that hopefully won’t take quite so long to spawn a sequel. #musicreview #altrock https://freq.org.uk/reviews/the-lemonheads-love-chant/
NEW PODCAST OUT NOW!!!!
we look back the short career of the '80s most iconic pop sisters by reviewing "F.L.M" by Mel & Kim! #podcast #musicreview https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-aanub-19a9c1c
25 F.L.M. by Mel & Kim

In this month's offering we analyse one album in order to review a whole slew of albums under the PWL umbrella. "F.L.M" was the only studio album by the duo Mel & Kim and was almost entirely produced and written by (Mike) Stock (Matt) Aitken and (Pete) Waterman whose signature pop/dance/electronic sound can be heard through many a UK chart act in the 80s and 90s. The Appleby sisters were one of the few duos/groups in the PWL stable that stood out from the mainly solo crowd and, although their tenure as a pop act was incredibly short, they left behind a striking aural and visual legacy. Kim went on to have a few solo hits in the early part of the 90's, but it does make one wonder what *might* have happened if they had continued as a duo for even just a few more years. This said, we note that the Mel & Kim back catalogue has not really been touched on or covered very much but we come up with exactly the right platform to do it! To fully immerse yourself in the Albumble podcast, listen to the album yourselves (F.L.M. is on Spotify and possibly other places too) then listen to our appraisal. Remember to get in touch by tweeting us via @albumble and tell us what you think of Mel & Kim's work and whether you agree with our views !!

The Primevals – Best Of The BBC Sessions After conducting another targeted rummage through the #BBC’s archival strongrooms, Precious Recordings takes us back through some of the life and times of Glasgow’s The Primevals -- in John Peel, Andy Kershaw and Janice Long-commissioned session configurations. #musicreview #lpreview #indierock https://freq.org.uk/reviews/the-primevals-bbc-sessions/

Whilst arguably having missed a few opportunities, Touch is nevertheless a roundly decent latter-day #Tortoise record that reassures us that the internal alchemical artistry – even if not as effervescent as it once was – retains a distinctive potency. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait for another best part of a decade to find out if there is more left in the shared sonic tank. #postrock #musicreview https://freq.org.uk/reviews/tortoise-touch/
@Freq What a lovely cover artwork.
