Italy’s Salad Days Mag has an emphatic review of Melvins’ Tarantula Heart, which demonstrates that the band’s sound encompasses “everything: sludge, punk, metal, avant-garde, noise, mood improvement, post rock, jazz , arms moving in all directions, prog, krautrock, hardcore, and a maximum push of the imagination.” Read the original Italian here. Tarantula Heart is at radio from Ipecac Recordings.
According to The Ringmaster Review, @sun_atoms' new LP " an encounter that should not be passed by especially by those with adventurous psychedelic/dark wave/electro pop nurtured appetites."

![@leifvollebekk is at radio now with 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, along with two additional versions of album standout track “Peace Of Mind,” via @secretcityrecords. The record is both ethereal and grounded, evoking a deep sense of introspection and blending narrative lyrics with one-take lead vocal performances, cinematic arrangements, rich soundscapes, and lush orchestration. Vollebekk – who self-produced and plays piano, guitar, bass, B3 organ, harmonica, accordion and Moog synthesizer – compiled an impressive supporting cast including drummer Jim Keltner, steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar (Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Rod Stewart), and bassist Shahzad Ismaily. The album was mixed by Tchad Blake (Tom Waits, Arctic Monkeys, Tracy Chapman) and mastered by Greg Calbi.
@bedroomdisco: “By far the best work by this talented singer-songwriter to date.”
@americana_uk_: “[Vollebekk] has delivered a superb piece of work.”
@exclaim.ca: “Vollebekk’s subconscious is both amplified and reconstructed.”](https://amanaplanacanal.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
