Picking a Quarrel: The death of Edward Burra and the birth of British punk
Richard Foster considers the life of an artist who died on the day that The Damned's 'New rose' was released, and considers an unusual continuum in weird British culture Those familiar with the popular British TV series Doctor Who will be aware that the unnamed Timelord protagonist occasionally transforms, 'dying' and reemerging alive once more within seconds, now portrayed by a new actor. This pareidolic process, alongside the sometimes ectoplasmic visual effects found in the programme’s opening and closing credits (especially those seen in the mid-1970s) suggests astral travel and spiritual regeneration; new possibilities that nevertheless draw on old hinterlands. On 22 October 1976, the English watercolour painter Edward Burra died in the Royal East Sussex hospital in Hastings. A happier and...

Reframing our Environment: Pulp’s We Love Life at 25
Darran Anderson looks at Pulp's (one-time) farewell LP, as fine as any of their others, and asks, why did it fall by the wayside? In Die Technik des Dramas (1863), Gustav Freytag argued for an ideal five act structure in storytelling. The problem was Freytag, for all his talent and success, was a racist Prussian supremacist and had, to put it mildly, something of a questionable world-view. Another problem was that life, with all its messy tangents and inconvenient loose ends, does not necessarily unfold in five acts. Though the structure existed in practise before then, it took off after Freytag formalised it, and it’s easy to see why; audiences, theatre producers, and political and religious moralists were all flattered by...

Tally Ho! Hark Away! Everything in Readiness by Shovel Dance Collective
The London experimental folk outliers’ triumphant third album is a demonstration of traditional music at its most progressive, outward-looking and migratory Photo credit: Brad Gilbert The hammered dulcimer originated in Persia as the santur, perhaps as many as 5,000 years ago. From there it travelled in all directions, adapting and mutating as it went. It moved southwards to India, where it became the santoor, played by ancient Sufi mystics as an accompaniment to hymns, and then moved eastwards via China to become the Korean yanggeum. In Hungary it has grown bigger and turned into the cimbalom, the national instrument. In Spain, it can be found depicted on the relief of a 12th century cathedral. It England it became popular with street performers... The post Tally Ho! Hark Away! Everything in Readiness by Shovel Dance Collective appeared first on The Quietus .
Reigns – Antigeist
Reigns Antigeist Wessex duo grow into a quartet, get amped, still full of doom The Antigeist by Reigns Somerset is a real epicentre of modern druidry and all things occult. Stonehenge is there, the Stanton Drew Stone Circles are there and Glastonbury Tor is there, all generating plenty of neo-pagan energy. It is also the mystical home county of sibling duo Reigns (Roo and Tim Farthing) who since their 2004 debut have consistently welded horror-flavoured storytelling and a trippy electro-folk sound to create a discography that could serve a spiritual companion to Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet Reigns’ signature is mining the darker side of humanity through their work, offering the audience scant relief from these terrifying realities. But whereas the duo worked alone... The post Reigns – Antigeist appeared first on The Quietus .
