I genuinely cannot believe we are already on episode 4. This episode's round up of April's wealth of new releases features discussions on records by The Armed, Claire Rousay, Leon Vynehall and many more, as well as meditations on sound design in music and how 'strange' music has the fascinating ability to be really good - or really bad.

Albums discussed:

The Armed - ULTRAPOP

Claire Rousay - a softer focus

Conway the Machine - La Maquina

Cruelty - There Is No God Where I Am

Godspeed You! Black Emporer - G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END!

Gojira - Fortitude

Leon Vynehall - Rare, Forever

Paysage D'hiver - Geister

Spectral Wound - A Diabolic Thirst

Spirit of the Beehive - ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH

Episode 3 - let's go! This month's episode features special guest Matthew Bankuti and your host Phil Maye discussing Youth Code's new record, as well as the industrial scene in general. We also talk about crawfish for a while - dammit, now I'm hungry. The rest of the episode touches on March's new music from Armand Hammer, Genghis Tron, serpentwithfeet and more from what was overall an extremely strong month (or week) for music overall.

Welcome to episode 2 of ph5! This week I introduce some new features, talk about releases by slowthai, Django Django and Sarah Mary Chadwick among others, and do a deep dive into the merits of accessibility in music. What were you listening to in February? Let me know!
