A really beautiful album by Mike Wexler. Think about the Canterbury scene (Soft Machine, etc...) and folk and add some modern songwriting and a perfect sound. Dispossession is available on Mexican Summer.

angels in america



The duo Angels In America, Moppy Pont and Merv Glisten are active for some years now, having released few tapes. Their dark new wave may find sources in artists like Lydia Lunch and the noise and industrial scene. Anyways, it's beautiful, very dark and haunting. Narrow Road To The Interior was released last year on Ehse records, where you can buy or download the LP and a new tape A Public Ranking is available on Night People.
