Aversionline reviews Reptiljan's "Hellbender suite", the noisier, more aggro alias of Finnish experimental artist Niko Skorpio: https://www.aversionline.com/reviews/2646/
Jens Lekman reports that he recorded a new DVD-EP this past weekend around Kullaberg, an inactive volcano and wildlife sanctuary on Sweden's southwestern coast. Songs recorded include "Your arms around me", "The rain has got to fall", and "Happy birthday to shame" along with covers of "O Caroline" by Matching Mole and "A little lost" by Arthur Russels. All material was recorded live and Sarah from El Perro Del Mar helped out with some vocals on a few songs. As to how/when this will be released, that's still undecided.
Psychopunch will soon enter the studio to record their next album "Kamikaze Love Reducer" for eventual release via Silverdust Records.
