In a world narrative dominated and controlled by powerful, wealthy individuals with vested interests in skewing the truth, what trust can be placed in our governments, our leaders and our sources of information to guide us to evolve as a species?
All good things must come to an end, and if we are to hold this understanding as true then there is no reason not to ensure that the finale is massive, glorious and affirming. Such is the scenario we find with UK legends Her Name Is Calla as we witness their final musical statement, the diverse and persistently riveting double album Animal Choir. This is one of those rare and exciting albums that feels like art clicking on all cylinders; no rules, no boundaries, nothing holding the performers back from doing exactly what is in their hearts, watching as every stroke lands just right on the canvas.
This Oceanic Feeling is a new cinematic three piece band featuring singer/songwriter and producer Chris Braide, bass player Lee Pomeroy and drummer Ash Soan. The album features 12 songs about dualism and ego death. Recorded during winter 2014 and featuring some of the most dynamic musicianship you are likely to hear this year. This album is a must for fans of great melodies, meaningful lyrics in the age of mass consumerism, empty self-obsession and the selfie.
