OSCEOLA REFETOFF – IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK

Posted on 2021-08-02

In a nod to the last year and a half, when most of us spent more time indoors, looking out through windows, dreaming of a different reality, we are proud to present some favorites from Osceola Refetoff’s acclaimed Window Series It’s a Mess Without You.

Captured from within derelict structures in the California desert, these carefully framed vistas are akin to visual short stories. These desert communities came and left, leaving behind remnants and dreams which Refetoff interprets for us with his discerning viewfinder.

Opposite – Charred House on Trinity Street – Mojave, CA

Exhibition runs through to August 14th, 2021

BEN BONDY – GLANS INTERCUM

Posted on 2021-08-02

Ben Bondy’s Glans Intercum follows in the wake of THE West Mineral Ltd. label heroes Serwed and Mister Water Wet, only with a dark, brooding approach underpinning every synthesised swell, every stumbling industrialised pseudo-break beat.

GLOK – CLOSER

Posted on 2021-08-02

GLOK is the electronic alter ego of Andy Bell; best-known as the guitarist in venerated shoegazers Ride, alongside stints in other famous groups, with a noteworthy solo career too. This October his first album proper as GLOK – ‘Pattern Recognition’ – is released on Bytes.

Although usually renowned for purveying the finest quality jangle, drone and general guitar-based magic, Bell’s foray into dance music should come as less of a surprise than immediately meets the eye. There are parallels between the genres within the sonically-deep layers, hypnotic sound and trance-like headspaces or as he puts it more succinctly: “GLOK is all about the push and pull between electronic and psych in my music.”

Taken from the GLOK album Pattern Recognition. Released on Bytes on October 15, 2021.

Patta and Authentic Hendrix LLC will soon unveil a range of products aimed at celebrating the life and career of the legendary Seattle-born performer.

His dazzling performances included playing the guitar behind his head, and even with his teeth.His writing and arrangements were recorded in ] prolific albums and live performances, such as The Jimi Hendrix Experience Axis Bold as Love, Live at Monterey and Live at Woodstock, where he used his beloved guitar to captivate audiences. Hendrix’s mastery of guitar came as a result of endless hours doing what he loved – playing. He scarcely went anywhere without his instrument.

This tenacity and drive to practice his craft ultimately made Jimi Hendrix one of the greatest guitarists of all-time and elevated him to heights reached by few. As a revolutionary artist, Hendrix pioneered the innovative ways in which Rock and Blues were played, through his use of wah-wah effects, feedback, and pedal distortion. He developed techniques and realized possibilities previously unknown with the guitar and introduced these effects as a unique form of expression.
