  • Groove Communion: Meet Deeply Armed

    April 10, 2025 - By Brian Coney

    Belfast’s Deeply Armed have been making subterranean waves for a while now. Tracks passed hand to hand via samizdat channels. Whispers between heads. Andrew Weatherall was an early booster. David Holmes played out a psychedelic version of one track at select ritual-like occasions. But now the trio break cover with ‘The Healing,’ a debut 12” that feels like a signal flare from a long-dormant dream. The release comes bolstered by remixes from Andrew Innes (Primal Scream) and Brendan Lynch (Paul Weller/Lynch Mob) and Keith Tenniswood (2 Lone Swordsmen/Radioactive Man), a trio of producers who know a thing or two about…

  • Video Premiere: Leigh Arthur – Oh I Forgot

    March 31, 2025 - By The Thin Air

    There’s a moment on ‘Oh I Forgot’ where Leigh Arthur’s voice seems to lean in just a little closer. Where everything else falls away and the full weight of memory hits like a warm gust, momentarily lifting everything. It doesn’t announce itself; it just blooms. That’s the kind of song this is. Quietly devastating. A minor-keyed, heart-stung hymn that burrows in without bluster.
