A note from this shelf

Wired and restless in the alternative underground: I Ya Toyah reaches through the wall with WHITE WALLS, a raw confession about invisible darkness released for World Mental Health Day. Dino DiMuro dresses up Beefheart's bones in psychotic Americana new clothes, while his Mirror Man finally gets its "real" vocals after four years. Unquiet Nights conjures stirring synths and fret wizardry meditating on the eternal versus the temporary, and Chalice Sect closes a chapter with pulsating EBM-charged darkwave drama. Ian Cat channels Wilco-meets-Britpop homesickness on his debut, bridging coasts with layered guitars.
