Clang and hush

Crow-scattering percussion outbursts and the quiet drama of whispered sounds... Verity Sharp explores the adventurous corners of the musical universe.

Verity Sharp explores the adventurous corners of the musical universe with a playlist featuring some of the new year’s most exciting early releases. Duo projects make their mark, with Brussels-based collaborators 'neither' and 'Milius' combining under the moniker ‘rat’ to deliver compressed clatters and low-slung rhythm. The Californian-Canadian pairing of Cinderwell (Amelia Baker) and Mat Ball, meanwhile, conjure landscapes of austere beauty in their melding of guitar distortion and violin tones; and songwriters Dennis Callaci and L. Eugene Methe eerily usher in 'those Cherry Red Blues'. Plus: a dialogue of trills, growls and flights of fancy courtesy of improvisers Vinny Golia and Kelsey Mines.
