Low Culture Podcast: Kate Bush’s Hounds Of Love
In the August episode of the pod, Luke Turner and John Doran discuss an utterly sublime meeting of pop and art This month we're talking about one of the greatest albums ever made – and not just in our opinion either. Kate Bush’s Hounds Of Love was both a critical and commercial hit on release in 1985, and its stature has only grown since. The Quietus’ editors John Doran and Luke Turner discuss what has occasionally been skipped over in discussion of the album, its interesting spin on gender fluidity, and a deep intellectual curiosity which spans everything from war films to Tennyson, from a love of Killing Joke to Carl Jung and MR James to Wilhelm Reich, whose life inspired the...

He Didnt – Dark Making
He Didnt Dark Making Oxfordshire-based solo artist offers more than an endlessly violent industrial drone he didnt - Dark Making by he didnt There is something looming just under the surface on Dark Making, the latest album by He Didnt. Beneath the often abrasive drums, and the chugging guitars that feel ripped out of both nu and industrial metal, there’s something tender that’s trying to reach out from the depths and break through. The album announces itself with thudding violence: the staccato strumming and feedback in the riff that recurs throughout ‘Bass Tape Loop’ jolts the album to life. The song assembles itself around this looping riff, which feels more abrasive as the synths emerge in the background – a sustained, single note that eventually...
