Is Chest Angina an example of 'Math Rock'? If it is, I find it boring and don't like it.
Sort of, in extremis. ADP are renowned for microtonal (smaller than a semitone) compositions. Incredibly complex and even more complicated to play.Quote:

Especially for Alex and Barry :)
Another new release this week, this might be the best of those I’ve tried so far, it’s getting a second listen so that’s better than most!
Kelsey Lu - so Help Me God (2026)

Hard to describe, as it bounces from genre to genre, Kelsey is a singer-songwriter and cellist, but there’s all sorts in here, very atmospheric and complex, and who doesn’t love the cello? Answers on a postcard…
Hmm, all you wanted was a sound that could kill someone from a distance - I suppose upstairs is distant enough :)Quote:

Then at the back end of last year HMV were selling the vinyl copies super cheap, so I took a punt. And I really liked it, probably because I wasn't expecting much. Oh, and the pressing and sound quality is top notch I think.
I'd say Matt Johnson sounds a bit calmer these days, less angry young man, more miserable old git... only kidding Matt, love ya really :)
I should be able to empathise with that!Quote:

Faouzia - Film Noir (fin) (2026)

Another one that’s hard to describe, but I can already tell is going to be a favourite after playing it last night and again now.
Moroccan-Canadian Faouzia (no, I don’t know how to pronounce her name - Fay-oozier?) has a wonderful voice, and the songs are (perhaps sometimes overly) dramatic, but extremely “hooky.”
Over to AI…
“Originally, Faouzia envisioned her debut project, FILM NOIR, as a cinematic saga where "each little song was going to be its own film". Grounded in dark pop, alternative R&B, and orchestral arrangements, the album explored deep themes of identity, self-preservation, and personal survival.
The updated edition, FILM NOIR (fin), functions as the ultimate conclusion to this chapter. It extends the original tracklist to 14 songs by adding three brand-new tracks designed to guide the listener out of a heavy, twisted world and into a space that feels more hopeful and forward-looking.”
Really really good, if this is your sort of music.
EDIT: “The name flows smoothly into three quick syllables: FOE-zee-uh.”
