Comprising of Alex Bonney (electronics, trumpet), Tim Giles (electronics, drums) and Isambard Khroustaliov (electronics), Leverton Fox are singular as a group, in that they stress the value of playing and improvising using electronics collectively. The importance of this dynamic, has, over the last 15 years, cemented their reputation for producing both genre defying records and mind bending live performances.

‘Eternal Gong Bath of the Sunbed Mind’ is no exception; there are triple albums with less going on in them relative to these supernovae of creations – from which whole galaxies are hinted at …

Great to have this record with Palestinian pianist Dirar Kalash finally out. It was recorded in September 2023 when Dirar and Rudi were both on tour in London. All proceeds from this album will go to Palestinian grassroots charities.

‘Déjeuner Sous L’Herbe’ brings together the poetic genius of Ted Milton, legendary frontman of Blurt, and the idiosyncratic electronic artistry of Sam Britton AKA Isambard Khroustaliov; fusing avant-garde sound assemblages, improvisation, experimental electro-acoustic textures, and expressive verse.

This new 2CD release, which arrived in February 2026, captures the singular collaborative vision of The Odes, combining surreal, politically charged poetry, free-jazz saxophone, intricate electronic soundscapes and propulsive rhythms.

“outrageous, profane performances … Milton’s anti-authoritarian streak remains as strong as ever” – The Guardian

“high art with punk poetic intervention … linguistic détournement, backed by tense electronics” – The Quietus

“encapsulates the current messy, fucked-up state of society and politics, and offers up a performance of equals working out on the peripherals of the music world.” – Monolith Cocktail

Fresh from recording at the illustrious RAK studios in London, Pando Pando are in sharp and curious mood. Looking forward to releasing material later in the year, the trio of Al Bonney, Will Glaser and Jem Doulton are excited to play at Café Oto this February 15th and offer a glimpse to what journeys are in store. Alongside live visuals from artist Ross Adams, it will be a fully immersive experience and a gig not to be missed.

‘Ultra Slop Out or Die’ is part documentation of Ancient Psychic Triple Hyper Octopus’ ruinous live sound (these two tracks were recorded at London’s Cafe OTO in June 2025) and part homage to the intense, experimental noise music that emerged in Japan in the late 1970s and continues undeterred today.

The title and format of the record are inspired most obviously, but not exclusively by Yamantaka Eye & Yoshimi P-We (of the Boredoms) side project ‘Ultra Freak Out Or Die’, whose suite of short form 7” releases continued a trend of Japanese experimental and noise music ‘singles’.

Side A; ‘Cat Acid’ begins with the synthetic cat vocal sounds of the Otamatone before evolving through a free acid spin cycle into a riotous trumpet fuelled coda.

Side B; Recorder Consort Bee Snort is by contrast a plaintive elegy to the tragic death of one of the UK’s billionaire tech bros after inhaling a bee whilst playing polo.

Accompanied by a music video created by AI slop pioneer Synthetic Pink AKA Florian Nackaerts, the record is both homage and manifesto; the Pandora’s box of TechnoGnosticism is here to stay: Ultra Slop Out or Die!
