Emily Portman selects ten objects from her home: her grandpa’s Mexican pottery owl, the mask she wore to become Blodeuwedd on the “Dominion of Spells” photoshoot, and a wedding ring cut in half by a spade and returned twenty years after it was lost. The stories behind them are quite magical.
Sam Blasucci premieres his video for “Creature”, the latest single from his new album “Black Rose”, out 21st July on DoublePlay Records. Recorded mostly in the middle of the night in Ojai, the ten-track album is an invitation into shadow and a darkness that could be groovy. It follows April’s 28-track double LP, “Physical Dream”.
Adrian Crowley’s “Quinn The Adventurer” follows James Quinn, who left Belfast in 1920, surfaced in Hollywood as a silent-film extra, and was sentenced to San Quentin over a collection of shrunken heads. Out today on Dimple Discs with Bring Your Own Hammer, it precedes “From The Tombs”, a 21-song double album on the history of crime, law and order in Ireland and its diaspora.
