I’ve always found M.Ward a fascinating artist. So whenever there’s a new release I listen. His latest Migration Stories was recorded in Montreal with two members of Arcade Fire. There is nothing new, but if you like his work, you will like Migration Stories. |

The 1969 album by The Mothers of Invention, Uncle Meat, is 50 years old today! I’ve always seen the work of Frank Zappa like a mad uncle. No idea what he’s on about, but quite liking it. Described as an “inspired monstrosity” nothing more to add your honour! |

The self-titled debut album by the metal outfit Soulfly is 20 years old today! Released in memory of the ex-Sepultura frontman Max Cavalera’s murdered stepson. Recorded at Indigo Ranch Studios in Malibu, the LP is powerful, tribal and at times very Brazilian! |
