Dialect - Full Serpent album cover.

'Andrew P.M. Hunt is one quarter of one of the best contemporary “guitar” bands, Ex-Easter Island Head. His music as Dialect has a childlike naivety about it – playing with sound, contemplating it, detuning and looping it.'

Dialect - Full Serpent

Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland? Could the government pay salaries to musicians and artists - no strings attached like they do in Ireland?

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

Thanks so much Ian - we love your stuff! 🙏

There's a brilliant exploration of the British artistic desire to 'get out to the country' - particularly Wales in the 1970s - in Richard King's "The Lark Ascending" ...artistic types playing at farmers, giving up after a while, coming back years later with money and buying up the land

Cheers George!

Lumet book is great, likewise "Cut to the Chase" by Sam O'Steen - technical and gossipy in equal measure

Thanks so much for including us, Loula - it is really appreciated

Loula Yorke has included us on the Freakzone playlist at midnight tonight alongside some utterly excellent musicians including our pals @lauracannellmusic.bsky.social + James Holden. Listen here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

More 2025 bangin’ gigs #3 : Kraftwerk Milton Keynes, Sugababes O2, John Glacier Village Underground, Ex-Easter Island Head ICA

Great record - the one man renderings of Partch's "Barstow" are great, quite punky and weird

Really been digging the Cyrus Pireh record!
