Review: What we have here is a fantastic solo album from Morgan Lhote, who's best known as the former keyboard player from Stereolab. The only thing that's particularly 'Stereolab-y' about her Hologram Teen output, though, is a desire to experiment, with tracks ranging from fairly straight-up disco-house ('Dalston Wizardzz') to out-there, arryhthmic synth experiments ('Cosmogatto'), via electronic alt-folk-hop ('Africountry'), smoky leftfield jazz-fusion ('Pharoah For President'), Afro-futurist pastiche ('Okandjambameya'), looping, tripped-out soundtrack vibes ('Move On Hop!', 'Toast, Marmite & Crack') and more. Interesting stuff, though it might take a few listens to really sink in...
Review: To do their bit to support artists during the lockdown, music website Ransom Note has put together this compilation, with sees the participating artists receiving much welcomed support. It starts with left of centre post-punk sounds from Malcolm and Funderground, before moving into the gritty, lo-fi house groove of Local Suicide & Thomas Jackson's "Hit & Miss". On "Like To Lie", R Elizabeth & Burko conjure up a jittery electro track, while Bawrut's "Triangulo De Amor Bizarro" sees the compilation descend into low-slung jacking techno, accompanied by Chico Blanco's sleazy vocals. Otik & Tom VR's "Poly Echo 97", which is supported by broken beats and features eerie textures.
