The Scenic Route
*2025 stock* Following from 2016’s Peel Away the Ivy, The Pattern Forms return with The Scenic Route; an album which embodies a fresh new direction of idiom and focus.

Adding a…

Haig Fras collects a series impressionistic soundings inspired by the subaquatic mountain range of the same name found between Cornwall an…

2024 repress; LP version. This is the third album by Einstürzende Neubauten, also known as Halber Mensch, originally released in 1985. The album opens with the startlingly oppressive, almost fully a cappella title track, with contrapuntal, atonal, en masse chanting. The album progresses to include quite a repertoire of electronically-generated sounds, finding the band developing their mishmash of industrial experimentation matched by terrifying clangs, stomps, and of course, the theatrical, poet…
