Kit Grill with Alien Jams

“Mirror Image is the debut album from Kit Grill. Building upon his previous EP Expressions, Grill has made a minimalist experimental record touching on ambient, techno and avant grade structures. Inspired by Phillip Glass and John Cage, repetitive harmonies build and fall throughout the 12 tracks with a cinematic vision running through the album, Mirror Image was made over 6 months during 2013.”

Me and Kit went b2b for the show, it was a good hour of music!  Kit ended up playing quite a few unreleased tracks, fresh off the production line…

Alien Jams with Michael D. Donnelly

 Michael D. Donnelly joined me on this edition of the Alien Jams radio show, ahead of his Exotic Pylon release.  Label boss Jonny Mugwump also popped by, it was great to have them both in the studio!
Here are a few words about Michael’s release, from the Exotic Pylon website-
“I’ve Come to Love You Forever is the strangely beautiful debut album from Michael D Donnelly (Delicate Awol, Rothko, Elite Barbarian) which melts down early Jah Wobble, Dickie Landry, Archie Shepp, My Bloody Valentine, Stephen Mallinder, Kevin Drumm, Autechre and a host of others to sculpt an addictively original, largely instrumental sound world. 
Utilising bass guitar (deployed in a variety of different modes), synthesiser, cheap kids keyboards, various percussion (cattle bells, thumb piano, glock) drum machine, sampler and found sounds the end result is a haunting slab of rust-coloured brittle cinematic post-rock – a lone British Tortoise rewired for a cybergothic post-Terminator landscape. Sinister, exploratory and spacious with a paradoxically clattering liquid production I’ve Come to Love You Forever sees Donnelly assert himself as a truly distinctive voice.”
 
 Michael D Donnelly – Mole man 
Mika Vainio- Docks
Biting Tongues- Fever House Soundtrack
Aaron Dilloway- Chained Balled
Ron Morelli- Fake Rush
 Michael D. Donnelly- The Bladebone
