Divided by Dusk
Night is about to fall, the day slowly fades away, and it is this twilight time that Magda Drozd’s latest album inhabits. Divided by Dusk carries the promise of a crepuscular otherworldliness.

Rules-based organisations quake at the critique of “All the mess.” Blunt stabs of fizzing electricity reach an ever-sustaining peak lik…
