IN FOCUS: ROY MONTGOMERY

New Zealand guitarist Roy Montgomery's music was once described by NPR journalist Lars Gotrich as "swimming through phantoms" – it may sound like an overwrought analogy at first, but simply spend half an hour enveloped in Montgomery's tones, and you'll understand. Originally a part of Pin Group in the 1980s, releasing Joy Division-indebted post-punk on the revered Wellington label Flying Nun records, Montgomery eventually unmoored himself from the strictures of verse-chorus-verse songwriting, and other musicians entirely, composing drifting, gauzy guitar instrumentals that channeled his own personal grief and loneliness into a seductively baleful magic.

UNDERGROUND & BLACK W/ ASH LAURYN

Self proclaimed “Underground and Black”, Detroit native Ash Lauryn leads her musical charge with a candid love for the historical roots of dance music, and the power of reclamation in modern day America.

Soul Reggae Interview Dream Pop

Music and stories from Rudy Tambala of singular post-punk, proto-shoegaze, alternative music trailblazing duo A.R. Kane. Tambala discusses his youth in East London, facing pushback for playing "white" music, their broad spectrum of influences from Viennese Waltz to soul and reggae, and their coining of "Dream pop", to describe their sound.
