Daniel Hex revisits moment I felt / BLUE with “serious” visual.A year on from moment I felt / BLUE, Daniel Hex returns to one of its standout moments with the “serious” video, bringing fresh focus to a track that captures the sharper edge of his sound.While much of the double album leans into introspection and slow burning emotion, “serious” cuts through with a more direct, rhythmic energy. The visual builds on that tension, adding a sense of immediacy and intention that reframes the track within the wider project.Hex thrives on contrast. Across the album, he moves between the hazy vulnerability…

At age 63, Unwanted is his latest release and long-time fans will not be disappointed.Things kick off with the rollicking Willie Waylon and Whiskey a tribute to…

“Does humour belong in music?” a TV reporter once asked Frank Zappa. The musician was sufficiently bemused to use the apocryphal question for an album title. Chances are Stephen Bruner would also answer in the affirmative even if Apostrophe wasn’t one of his favourite records. Bruner’s fifth album released under the name of Thundercat, Distracted is chockablock with deft one-liners, surreal non-sequiturs, wry observations and goofball pop-culture references. In musical terms, he takes just as much delight in stylistic shifts, with Bruner and his trusty bass affably slip-sliding between genres however he sees fit. All the ideas and quips can…
