5 Tewns Vol.6

Read Time: 2 mins

Aye aye chicken pie! Pinch punch, first Friday of the month? I dunno, here’s a little rundown of my favourite bits this last week…

Rafeal Toral – Measurement of Noise

My absolute favourite track from Rafael Toral’s 2020 album Violence of Discovery and Calm of Acceptance: soft, undulating drones that grow strange and sinister.

Mick Harvey – We Had an Island

I went to see Mick Harvey last night at Amarante Cine-Teatro. He was every bit as excellent as I had hoped and played a stunning version of this track from last year’s Five Ways to Say Goodbye on Mute Records. I would have loved to stick around and bend the poor man’s ear, but alas, I have children to care for—woe is me.

Wagon Christ – Can’t Stop [Don’t Stop]

The inimitable Kernow legend that is Luke Vibert returns under his Wagon Christ moniker for another fun-packed smorgasbord of classic samples, breaks, soundtrack snippets, vocal cuts, and sample-clearance headaches. Also over the moon to see more beautiful artwork by Celyn Brazier

Music Liberation Front Sweden – Watson is in Heaven now

I stumbled across this track by accident this afternoon, and I’m so glad I did—gorgeous, spiralling Kosmik brilliance.

BEAK> – Brean Down (Live at Zebulon)

Absolutely belting live version of “Brean Down” from the group’s newly released Live at Zebulon, Los Angeles, April 2nd 2025.
