Shall we write a new editorial? Oh the endless demand and who needs a damn editorial? No time for editorials, let the actual music do the actual walking and the actual talking. Exact same thing again, another five (or so) slices of music that have passed our way recently and however you like to slice it and of course it was the price of oranges and here comes the editorial. Don’t be flippant she said, how could it ever be flippant? I can’t remember why she said that now, in one ear, out the other, we have a bad attitude here apparently, no respect for those who work in the music industry, well no poop Sherlock, have you only just worked that one out?

Five? There’s something rather compelling about five. Cross-pollination? Five more? Is there another way? A better way? A cure for pulling flying rabbits out of the clouds? Is there a rhyme? Is there a reason? Was there ever a reason? What do reasons make? Five more? Snake oil? Everything must go and no, we never do and the proof of the pudding is in that proof reading. When we started this thing, oh never mind, it doesn’t matter why we started this damn thing and like we asked last time, does anyone bother reading the editorial? Does anyone ever actually look down the rabbit hole or is it all just method acting? We do really try to listen to everything that comes in, we do it so you don’t have to, we are very (very) very very picky about what we actually post on these fractured pages or about what gets played on the radio or indeed what we hang in a gallery. Cut to the chase, never mind the editorial, skip this bit, there’s loads of music further down the page, well five or so pieces of music that have come our way in the last few days and what’s Wordsworth? Just the basic facts and links and those sounds (and visuals), that’s surely all you need from us?

Here we go, five more slices of music that have recently come our way, this time we start with something new from Stockholm, Sweden…

1: Gösta Berlings Saga – The first single from Forever Now, Other Rock Show favourites Gösta Berlings Saga’s new album out on 06.06.2025 via Pelagic Records. Pre-order here or use Bandcamp

Let it flow now, give it time, Gösta Berlings Saga are never immediate, you kind of think oh there’s nothing much here but then they start to grab you and the hooks start to get in and the bits that kind of go off and things and, oh that was a good bit and then you ksiten again and hey, this is damn good, they always grab you, give the band from Stockholm, Sweden a bit of time…

2: Niis – BYD is another track off upcoming album Niis World out March 28, 2025 via Get Better Records

There a previous taste or two of the new album here – ORGAN: Five Music Things – New Niis bite, now this will more than do to kick off the day. A taste of Simon Henocq’s beautiful noise, Sextile, Patriarchy and a just released slice of live footage, another piece of Mien’s new album and…

And here’s the Bandcamp

3: Gorwel Owen – and with a complete change of mood, language and almost everything else, over to the island of Anglesey. “Homage to a geological feature (Lion Rock) near Rhosneigr, Anglesey/Ynys Môn, the opening track to a forthcoming album”. Here’s a Linktree full of useful links and for those of you viewing in Welsh, “Teyrnged i Graig y Llew, Porth y Tywod, Rhosneigr, Ynys Môn. Trac agoriadol o albwm fydd ar ei ffordd os bydd gwynt teg”.

4: Michael Woodman, he of Thumpermonkey, a band covered around here rather a lot back in their early days, has a first taste of a new solo album – “A four-minute lozenge of hypnotic folk horror, beginning in the flu-addled haze of 70s children’s TV memories and culminating in a theophanic encounter with a horde of terrifying rock puppets. Featuring Kavus Torabi, who lays down a lysergic substrate for the sheet-wrapped monolith of Ignathox to feed on and emerge from. Confused? Good”.

Here’s the Bandcamp thing, there’s a b-side and details of the album to be found there –

5: Circuit Des Yeux and more of that new album that we’ve already reviewed – ORGAN: Albums – The richness of Circuit des Yeux’s Halo On The Inside, Kali Trio’s The Playful Abstract, The Below and some theatrical industrialness, Children of The Night’s dark horror film soundtracks and… Here’s the link for more on the album that is actually released this Friday March 14th, Bandcamp

There’s some full band dates as well, including London – May 8 – Berlin, DE @ Kantine am Berghain, May 10 – Krems, AT @ donaufestival, May 12 – Paris, FR @ Point Ephemer, May 14 – London, UK @ ICA, May 15 – Brussels, BE @ AB Club

And if you like all this then you might like to donate and help keep all this flowing.

We bring all this art, music and underculture to you for free, we really don’t want to clutter up our pages with annoying adverts, no one wants that, but it does take up a lot of time, hours and hours of time. If you should feel like supporting Organ and making a small donation to help keep all this flowing that would be delightful, thank you.

Meanwhile the next Cultivate on line art exhibition will be along in a couple of weeks, once again it will be hosted on these pages….
