  2. Distant Birds – Vol 01 and Vol 02 freq.org.uk/reviews/distant-bi ...they have constructed four pieces over two volumes that use rhythmic repetition and respectful interplay to propel the listener into previously unconsidered realms. With trumpeter Ellen Kirkwood and sax man Matt Otignon as well as incisive drummer Evan Mannell, these extended improvisatory journeys are a breathtaking discovery. #jazz #improv #musicreview

  3. Brown Spirits – Vols 1, 2 and 3 freq.org.uk/reviews/brown-spir ... it’s hard to advise against grabbing all three of these quite limited Brown Spirits reissues in one go. Whilst your bank account and storage space might not thank you in the moment, your ears will do long into the future. #kosmische #psychedelic #musicreview

  4. Juli Deák – Brisk freq.org.uk/reviews/juli-deak- Recorded at the Church Of The Immaculate Conception in Budapest, this suite of pieces fuses circular breathing techniques, intense rhythmic attack and percussive textures into a whole that flickers across light and dark as if watching a projector film of seabirds at play. #flute #musicreview

  5. Let Spin – I Am Alienhttps://freq.org.uk/reviews/let-spin-i-am-alien/ lulling you into calmer waters after the frantic pace of the preceding tracks. Once again Let Spin show how much life there is in this #postjazz world, twisting the vaguely familiar into new and compelling shapes. #musicreview

  6. The Stargazer’s Assistant – Modular Fields freq.org.uk/reviews/the-starga ...hiccuping hypnotics and slivering interchange shot through with darkened instabilities. A heady otherness The Stargazer’s Assistant have been worshipping from the get-go, imbued with ghostly burrs and vocalising vapour, spidering into a noisy abstractive rub. #modular #electronica #musicreview

  7. Gnod / Vanishing (live at Strange Brew) freq.org.uk/reviews/gnod-vanis @REEL They don’t let the intensity dip; they just hurl themselves at their instruments and search for each others’ groove. They find it, and then they keep going. We want them to. People in the audience are finding their inner head-banger. #livemusic #musicreview

  8. Wartel / Landæus / Wartel Collins / Wartel – Celebrating Live freq.org.uk/reviews/wartel-cel Between them they bring a wealth of experience in the free improv scene, but the first effort for this line-up is a forty-six minute journey through relationships that go beyond the professional and somehow manifest into something magical. #jazz #improv #musicreview

  9. Bhajan Bhoy – Meditations freq.org.uk/reviews/bhajan-bho These pieces are meant for immersive listening rather than dancing; Saggar calls them prayers, tying their purpose into the meaning of bhajan, the Sanskrit term for a devotional song. More spiritual practice than entertainment, it’s only right that the album is listened to and judged as such. #meditation #musicreview

  10. ...an album that sees the light after thirty years and not before time, Kenny perhaps at the peak of his later and smoother era, playing with friends and concocting a session that is well remembered by all those involved #jazz #musicreview Out via @[email protected] freq.org.uk/reviews/kenn...

  11. A Lilac Decline – Eternity Bores Me freq.org.uk/reviews/lilac-eter Whilst the somewhat murky mix and generally unhurried pacing dissuade instant gratification, the slow burn approach of Eternity Bores Me will reward those already in thrall to the consistently reliable micro-scene from which it comfortingly emanates. #musicreview

  12. Guttersnipe – Extinction Burst! freq.org.uk/reviews/guttersnip @REEL "...like other ‘#noiserock bands but also strangely unlike most of them in that, even at this early stage, it felt like every note was deliberate. If it sounded like an unGodly accident then that was exactly how it was supposed to sound. These freaks could play; there might even be some kind of score". #musicreview

  13. freq.org.uk/reviews/taupe-waxing-waning/ You think the three elements are going to collide... Playing so close they are almost picking one another's pockets, their take on ' #cubist #jazz' fits the term perfectly; all hard angles and unexpected facets. #musicreview

    I'm not so much into it but my girl is and I have to admit: The more I hear it, the more I'm totally baffled about how actually GOOD this song is:

    Brigitte Calls Me Baby: Slumber Party

    If you are in early 2000s British Pop like Franz Ferdinand, Star Sailor and the likes, this definitely should get your attention.

    https://brigittecallsmebaby.bandcamp.com/track/slumber-party

    The funny thing is: Brigitte Calls Me Baby started out as a "The Smiths" soundalike band. Now we know how this all went with The Smiths. While Johnny Marr still is a chilled, down to earth guy, yet incredibly skilled as a guitarist and composer... the face of the Smiths, Morrissey, is not - actually quite the opposite: A bitter diva with rightwing views.
    Now I think, as a "The Smiths soundalike" project you gotta take sides! And in this regards it's important to know, that The Cure's front man Robert Smith is and was never impressed by Morrissey, totally not (as his former band mate Siouxsie Sioux), and he publicly stated this multiple times.

    So it's quite funny and also a bold statement, to find a large citation of The Cure's "Close to me" in this song.

    On top of that Brigitte Calls me Baby is starting to emancipate themselves from sounding like a Smiths cover band, but doing their own thing now. Good!

  20. The Twinsets – Peel Sessions 82-83 / Jetstream Pony – Riley and Coe Session 09.04.25 freq.org.uk/reviews/the-twinse After a relentlessly prolific and steadily diversifying 2025, it’s perhaps not surprising that Precious Recordings is one of the first independent labels out of the release gates at the dawning of 2026. #musicreview #bbcsessions #indierock

  21. Fuzzy Lights – Fen Creatures freq.org.uk/reviews/fuzzy-ligh Having recalibrated themselves somewhat with 2021’s towering epic Burials, Cambridge’s bsky.app/profile/fuzzylightsba return belatedly with the logical extension that is Fen Creatures.
