Touch of God – Swan Song (2018)


Based out of London, Ontario, spacious-riffing trio The White Swan will have upon the Sept. 7 arrival of their three-songer, Touch Taste Destroy, released three EPs in the last three years. The prior two, 2016’s Anubis and 2017’s The White (sans “swan”), were recorded by Alastair Sims and featured original cuts — a rolling reinterpretation on the first of Wings‘ “Jet” notwithstanding — of thick-toned, nodding modern stoner doom, hit hard, but still unfolding with an overarching sense of patience and melody. A song like “North Carolina” from “The White,” or the previously unveiled title-track of Touch Taste Destroy create a decided murk reminiscent of earlier Windhand, but distinguished particularly on the latter by a current of keyboards and a fluidity of pace that draws beyond the e

New Nektar – Megalomania (2018)


Nektar’s contribution over the last 49 years has quite rightly earned them their place in any ‘Progressive Rock Hall of Fame’. But the band is much more than a ‘Prog Legend’, the Nektar brand of innovative composition, performance and visuals is simply unique.

Nektar’s history appeared to have been written when they finally split in the early eighties. Despite attempts to re-kindle the flame, the Nektar light, it seemed, was out . . . . until that is, the year 2000. The new millennium saw the long awaited reunion tour of the classic line up, to rave reviews and fantastic receptions. The light we thought was out, had in fact been kept aglow – by loyal fans across the globe. Fifteen years on and the family has grown a little, but the classic Nektar spirit is still
