On the first album under her given name, Ale Hope turns her language of vibrant electronics, electric guitar and Latin rhythms into a canvas for diaristic poetry and spoken word. One worthy of the "most personal album to date" moniker and one of my favourite reviews for @thequietus.com this year.
A Topography of Intimacy: A Body Like A Home by Alejandra Cárdenas | The Quietus
To the sound of cumbia rhythms, noisy bass tremors, frantic violin phrases and spectral electronics, the Peruvian-born artist creates a moving meditation on home and homeliness, from the unconscious d...

I rarely get to write about Croatian experimental music releases – because there are so few of them – so I'm extra happy when something as excellent as Rob Mazurek's encounter with Roj Osa (Alen & Nenad Sinkauz, Marco Quarantotto) comes along.
I reviewed their album 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘰 for @thequietus.com.

🎶 Brave Sir Robert ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robert turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robert! 🎶
