Songs ’94-’98 is a smart selection of material from The Cat’s Miaow, an Australian indie-pop group that gifted their decade with some of its finest songs. Released on World Of Echo, the album draws from the group’s string of excellent seven-inch singles, a small clutch of compilation contributions, and features...

Audiopile Review: The first two EPs from beloved deep/dub techno pioneer Convextion (aka Gerard Hanson) get their first ever repress, sandwiched together as a double pack and emblazoned with a new sci-fi themed cover, an appropriate aesthetic that has been the Texas-based producer’s motif as of late. Initially released on...

Audiopile Review: After a string of digital-only singles (compiled recently by Tough Love), impossible to find cassettes and a highly limited lathe cut 7”, San Francisco group April Magazine issue what amounts to their debut album proper. Despite being a part of the seemingly never-ending supply of great bands from...

Audiopile Review: Another ‘90s braindance classic gets its due—Bochum Welt’s Module 2, initially issued back in ’96 on Richard D. James’ beloved Rephlex Records. Arriving in the wake of artists like µ-Ziq, Squarepusher and, of course, Aphex Twin, Module 2 was a standout in a growing crowd that was trying...

Audiopile Review: Huuuuge new comp from the blessed souls over at Blank Mind, taking us on a deep dive into the cushier end of the breakneck strains of UK techno during its ascendent ’91-94 period. The producers here, most of them well kept secrets or favourites of the connoisseur, sprung...

Audiopile Review: One of our favourite oddball entities from explosion of late ’00’s/early ’10’s garage and so-called “weird punk” (ugh, sorry for reminding you) bands are still at it, sounding somehow even more vital 18 years in. We have to admit, we lost track of them somewhere along the lines—oh,...

Audiopile Review: The second of the two releases this week from Goaty Tapes, this one coming from mysterious duo Echardt & Kash. And, as the zen-like, post-hippie cover might have tipped off, Songs of the Soul is a deep plunge into new age mysticism, filled with the hallmarks of the...

Audiopile Review: Goaty Tapes issue their second volume of archival digs from the vaults of Darrell DeVore, probably best known for his work in SF out-jazz-psych group Pygmy Unit, who had their lone album, Signals From Earth, reissued a few years back. The recordings here, mined from anywhere between the...

Over atmospheric instrumentation expanded by cinematic structure and pacing, Pearlty presents Knifeplay somewhere between dream-pop influenced shoegaze and lofty slowcore, never fully committing to one or the other in its insistence on creating an immersive, organic world. Originally released in 2019, Knifeplay’s vivid debut Pearlty documents songwriter Tj Strohmer’s expressions...
$36.99
Audiopile Review: Bellofatto & Gentile is a newly minted duo made up of Dan Gentile and Jesse Edwards, the latter of whom had an excellent cassette on Pacific Rhythm last year under his C-Thru guise. That cassette was in heavy rotation here in the Audiopile office, and some further digging...

Audiopile Review: The duo of MC Mattic and producer Daylight Robbery, together known as Odd Holiday, drop their second album mere months after L.I.S.A., one of our favourite hip-hop albums of 2023. The pairing have clearly struck upon something special here, And Then There Were None continuing their potent psychsploitation...
