Very many thanks to @cruelnaturerecs.bsky.social for putting these out!

A new collection of bleak/uplifting songs. It's kind of like watching Threads through a candy kaleidoscope filled with assorted jellies.

Cassette and inlay against yellow background. Lots of colour. Perhaps too much.

Many thanks to @monolithcocktail.bsky.social for this review!

Strawberry Switchblade!
Scritti Politti!
This is the sound of candy filled sugar pop, the kind that you might see on Top Of The Pops in the glory madness days of the 80s when Strawberry Switchblade seductively swooned from your transistor radio and pop could be both wonky and bliss like and whisper sweet nothings into your ear like an ethereal Green Gartside. All That’s Missed is an album that really is not to be missed. It’s yet another off-kilter pop wonder released by Cruel Nature Records, a label that certainly specialises in releasing off-kilter pop and or just plainly the off-kilter.

There's no hiding from the highly perceptive analysis of @eoin-murray.bsky.social - absolutely love this review! 🙏

Included in the latest (huge) edition of Anois Os Ard:

If you like your apocalypse with a side of psychedelic dream pop then look no further than this latest dispatch from Whirling Hall Of Knives’ Barry Murphy, aka The Last Sound. Chasing his excellent 2024 anthology, Veered, the 10 tracks on All That’s Missed confront modern life’s myriad anxieties – the scourge of division, merciless uncertainty, rampant corruption, corporate vampirism, you know the stuff – and seek out reasons to be dazzled and grateful in spite of it all. Redlining drum machines, effect-burnt vocals and scorched synthesisers emit technicolour sparks and neon-tinted smoke as they blaze through passages of ecstatic kosmische and post-noise hypnagogia, searching for bliss amidst the dread.

This guy from The Creeping Flesh. The skeleton was bad enough until he was later reanimated. Just add water, or in this case, DON'T!
