Audiopile Review: Always a pleasure to make a local release album of the week. Not something we’d do from the goodness of our hearts. Record store people. We’re simply not that nice. When will you learn? But ‘Imerro’, the latest LP from Caton Diab, is more than deserving of its...

Audiopile Review: The ‘90s psychedelic rock scene centred around Japan’s PSF label was quite militantly underground. Keiji Haino is an avant garde legend and those Acid Mothers Temple have a significant cult following. But few of the PSF bands and artists appeared to have much crossover potential. Ghost had the...

Trances, Jules Reidy's follow-up to the celebrated World in World (2022), takes place in between states, tracing a kind of restless movement in search of -- or is it away from? -- a center.
