Chronological journey through all listening notes and reviews

May 2026
Deep Dive

John Frusciante - To Record Only Water for Ten Days

John Frusciante • 2001 • Singer-Songwriter / Lo-Fi / Electronic •

A bedroom record made by one of the biggest guitarists on Earth, while his stadium band was selling out arenas. Going Inside anchors it, the miniatures around it hold it together — and the credits list is almost embarrassingly short.

Deep Dive

Peaches - The Teaches of Peaches

Peaches • 2000 • Electroclash / Electronic •

One woman, one Roland groovebox, and a thesis: the aesthetic is the art. Framed against the 2002 electroclash explosion — Miss Kittin, Fischerspooner, Felix da Housecat — and the ways Peaches outlasted the entire scene she came in with.

April 2026
Deep Dive

Aphex Twin - Drukqs

Aphex Twin • 2001 • IDM / Electronic •

A monster and a lullaby. Drukqs is a double album that contradicts itself at every turn — and at its heart, a broken upright piano and a two-minute piece that became one of electronic music's most intimate confessions.

Quick Note

Oneohtrix Point Never - Tranquilizer

Oneohtrix Point Never • 2026 • Experimental Electronic / Ambient •

Daniel Lopatin presenting Tranquilizer at Culturgest, Lisbon — and the bridge it builds back to the Marty Supreme soundtrack.

Deep Dive

Maxime Denuc - Nachthorn

Maxime Denuc • 2023 • Contemporary Classical •

Rave-baroque fusion that finds the common ancestor both traditions share: mathematical precision, physical resonance, and collective altered states.

March 2026
Deep Dive

Guru - Jazzmatazz Vol. 3: Streetsoul

Guru • 2000 • Hip-Hop / Neo-Soul / Jazz-Rap •

The album that caught an entire scene at its most electric — right before the world figured out how to commercialise it.

February 2026
Deep Dive

SAULT - Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT • 2020 • R&B/Soul •

Political R&B from an enigmatic collective. Music as message.

Quick Note

Rão Kyão - Malpertuis

Rão Kyão • 1976 • Portuguese Jazz / World Music •

Rare Portuguese jazz with deep African roots — bamboo flute as the centre of something that barely has a name.

Deep Dive

Paul McCartney - McCartney II

Paul McCartney • 1980 • Synthpop / Experimental •

The Beatle who abandoned his studios to record drums in the bathroom. McCartney II is still his strangest, most prescient album — and I can't stop thinking about it.

Quick Note

Bruno Pernadas - unlikely, maybe

Bruno Pernadas • 2026 • Neo-Psychedelia / Jazz Fusion •

Live at Culturgest for the new album presentation. Bruno Pernadas keeps shapeshifting.

Deep Dive

Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard And Soft

Billie Eilish • 2024 • Alternative Pop •

Unconventional production, raw vulnerability, and a final act that transforms the entire album. Billie Eilish's third record caught me completely off guard.

Quick Note

Electrelane - Rock It to the Moon

Electrelane • 2001 • Experimental Rock •

Debut album by Brighton's all-female experimental rock band - Stereolab-influenced yet boldly unique.

January 2026
Deep Dive

Tindersticks - Curtains

Tindersticks • 1997 • Indie Rock •

Orchestral melancholy and emotional architecture. Lisbon memories in sound.

Deep Dive

Beck - Odelay

Beck • 1996 • Alternative Rock •

Genre-collage maximalism and the sound of the 90s. Beck at his most restless and experimental.

Quick Note

Rafael Toral - Traveling Light

Rafael Toral • 2026 • Experimental •

Live experimental electronic performance at Culturgest, Lisbon.
