He was very responsive to my ancient Oriental ways of love. All of which I invented myself, just for him.

Heavee "Unleash"

Hi there for a new reviews column for Utter Sorcery I have picked some albums from the past year.

I list album then write a brief summation and a star rating and then a further summary of what I love about them and the art they have made. Stars are out of 5.

Heaveee “unleash “

Crystal clear arcs of experimental footwork exceptionally detailed and throbbing with energy!

Rating: 4 stars!

I really like the way the artist combines rhythm, sound design and melody. I also like that it’s quite melancholic and ravey in places…

Kim Gordon “The Collective”

Squalling feedback drenched monotone noise rock underpinned by crunching trap beats!

Rating: 4 Stars!

I really like Kim Gordon’s deadpan cool vocal delivery buried under layers of noise. I really respect her for trying something bold and fresh!

Route 500 “island perimeter “

Gifted and loving guitar miniatures set against Route 500's gorgeous baritone!

Rating: 5 stars!

I really love love love this album a very singular sound design artfully played and crafted…

M. Butterfly “the lonesome country sounds of M. Butterfly “ volume 1&2

Emotional, nuanced and beautifully played country music by Brighton’s most loved troubadour!

Rating: 5 stars

I love the way that the artist has captured his songs intimately in a spontaneous and fresh way!

Thomas Andrew Doyle “Amalthea”

Ambient soulful and impeccably designed music from prolific composer Tad Doyle.

Rating: 4 stars

I love how Thomas constantly morphs and changes his sound from album to album..for this lp he sounds inspired by Dylan Carson, Eno and Vangelis with some early Aphex Twin vibes too.

Cherry Plum “swimming”

Raw heartfelt and incisive song by Charlie Plum including breathtaking 20 minute confessional “Future Woman Super Woman”..

Rating: 4 stars

I love how creative this album is and how it is was recorded very spontaneously it’s full of beauty and insight.

Nobody AKA Willis Earl Beal “Black vol 1 + 2”

Lofi yet beautiful 2 part album featuring Nobody expressing aspects of his identity through rap, song and spoken word

Rating: 5 stars

I like the way Willis changes his output and style from release to release and his intensity behind the mic which sort of floors you.
