boomkat: ...Fine, vaporous cloud of Bristolian smokers’ lullabies from Amos Childs and Boofy“NoCorner come forward with the fourth release in their 7 series, presenting four short, but oh-so-sweet cuts from VMO$ (aka half of O$VMV$M, half of Jabu, aka Amos Childs) and Boofy, the fellow badbwoy Bristolian, Bandulu-affiliate and Guiness lover.What we have here, are supreme late-night, slo-mo vibrations of the highest order, as you'd come to expect from the man behind much of the Jabu, O$VMV$M and Killing Sound material in combination with Boofy, who seems to add just right amount of extra tinges of dank, skewed RnB & other syruppy goodness, that mix&blend better than your nan's secret Rum Punch. Wicked combination - VMO$ & Boofy killin' them in cool & deadly style.Support from Kahn & Neek (as heard on their FabricLive mix) as well as Mary Anne Hobbs and Batu.”

boomkat: ...E B U joins imaginary dots between Delia Derbyshire, Black Zone Myth Chant and Tapes on a charmingly smudged debut for Ossia and co’s No CornerIn her own language of bittersweet, downbeat psychedelia, Bristol’s E B U speaks gently but directly to altered states of consciousness in a style she terms “swamp pop”. It’s not weird for the sake of it, but rather in a drowsy, hypnagogic way that feels effortlessly natural. All her melodies and harmonies shimmer with a lysergic, iridescent timbral thizz, radiating in rainbows and pink/blue hues on the back of your eyelids (because we almost guarantee you will be lulled to eyes shut, half-mast or rollin in backa skull by the end of 2nd song). Most crucially, though, for all the ‘60s connotations with LSD and The Radiophonic Workshop references, plus the label’s own nods to Alejandro Jodorowsky and Laurie Anderson, the music feels fresh, operating in its own liminal temporality, rather than being cloyed by cliché. That’s always high praise, and we’re sure many others will feel this, too.Properly hallucinatory bizz - bravo.
