New Reviews:


"A mature and fully realised work that becomes better with every listen." -- Terrascope on Lizz King's All Songs Go to Heaven


"This is an album that will delight and surprise every time it is heard." -- Terrascope on Salamander Wool's Lunarsophic Sonambulist


"Unlovely is never boring, predictable, or safe; it accepts and exploits the possibilities and potentialities of the violin is a way that’s nothing short of astonishing." -- Splice Today on Katt Hernandez's Unlovely

Terrascope Reviews Salamander Wool

Terrascope on the new Salamander Wool LP:
About four minutes in, things start to click more into place and you realise that what you might just be listening to is a rough demo of a lost Incredible String Band album or that hurriedly shelved third Syd Barrett album before they packed him off to who knows where.
