Panurus Productions – 1st October 2021 Christopher Nosnibor It’s a cliché to say ‘I don’t know where the time goes’, and it’s often, if not an outright lie, then at least somewhat disingenuous. Between dayjob work, school runs, cooking, other domestic chores, gigs, occasional TV, and writing reviews, it’s pretty obvious to me and most […]

Fading Tapes – Cartographer
Posted: 4 July 2021 in AlbumsTags: Abstract, Album Review, Ambient, Cartographer, Fading Tapes, Noise, Panurus Productions
Panurus Productions – 4th August 2021 Christopher Nosnibor Fading Tapes: a moniker that casts allusions to degradation, the wear and fade through the passage of time, the notion of impermanence and the significance of medium – because the medium isn’t only the message, it’s the determining factor in the lifespan of a record, whereby digital […]
Left Hand Cuts Off The Right – Only Then

Panurus Productions – 2nd April 2021 Sometimes, an understanding of process helps in shaping the appreciation of a musical work. Sometimes, it doesn’t. When presented with Only Then by Left Hand Cuts Off The Right, I can’t decide either way. The album contains two longform tracks – the twenty-five minute ‘2 – 6 – 17’ […]
Charlie Butler – Gathering Dust

Panurus Productions – 5th March 2021 Christopher Nosnibor Charlie Butler’s Gathering Dust is something of a departure for Newcastle tape label, PANURUS Productions, in that it’s incredibly mellow. It’s not a complete departure, through: designed as a cassette release, it features two longform tracks, each fitting neatly onto one side of a good old C30 […]
PAK40 – Bunker
Posted: 31 January 2021 in AlbumsTags: Album Review, Bunker, Doom, Pak40, Panurus Productions, Psychedelic, Sludge, Stoner
Panurus Productions – 5th March 2021 Christopher Nosnibor Bunker is pitched as ‘A heavy shelling from the York based two-piece’ and the drum and bass – and no, certainly not drum ‘n’ bass – duo offer up a monster that, despite having only seven tracks, runs to almost an hour in duration. On a personal […]

Panurus Productions – 25th September 2020 Christopher Nosnibor The liner notes forewarn us of ‘a relentless free form noise rock onslaught from Dwindling’ with ‘Four tracks of wild soul purging absurdity extracted from strings, sticks and throat for your unsuspecting ears.’ But no forewarning could ever be enough to prepare even the most hardened fan […]
Sindre Bjerga & Tanto – Sneezing Waves From The Peppered Oceans

Panurus Productions – 4th December 2020 Christopher Nosnibor Some of these experimentalists, they’re real buggers, you know. Awkward sods. Wilfully obtuse, intentionally unlistenable. Sindre Bjerga & Tanto sure as hell aren’t aiming for mass appeal on this absolute monster of a cassette release. In fact, I’d go so far as to suggest their primary goal […]

Cruel Nature Recordings – 6th November 2020 Christopher Nosnbor The latest release from Heat Death of the Sun, aka Eugene Davies, was recorded live in Newcastle at The Cluny – a venue that provided a space for many oddball / alternative / noisy gigs and hosting many of the artists on local labels Cruel Nature […]

Panurus Productions – 25th September 2020 Christopher Nosnibor Shrill, harsh, shrieking feedback noise and ear-cleansing scrapes of crunching metal collide and it’s not pretty, it’s not easy on the ear, it’s not rhythmic, melodic, or anything even approaching aesthetic. This is the sound of ‘Cardboard Schimitar’, the eleven-minute opening track on Always Check Your Mirrors, […]
