Always in love with cosmic country, the Byrds, psychedelic folk and jangle pop, London's Hanging Stars have consolidated their attitude by choosing Scotland as a creative place. For some time now the band has chosen to use Edwyn Collins' recording studios, located in the Scottish Highlands. For this new album, in addition to their trusted producer Sean Read (Dexys), they asked for help from Gerard Love (Teenage Fanclub). A restyling that has resized the lineup into a more linear quartet. Setting aside pedal steel and flutes for a more spontaneous and flowing sound, the Hanging Stars focus their attention on…

They will tell you that Wow! is the name of the mysterious radio signal detected in 1977 and which was interpreted as a possible extraterrestrial message. Real.

Maybe they'll write that Cryogen it's about an icy moon of Jupiter. The truth is that in the new Muse album Matthew Bellamy sings about deep space to evoke the emptiness of inner…
C’è un vuoto nella storia del rock, almeno per come è percepita al di qua dell’Oceano. Una zona d’ombra che ha la forma ingombrante degli Stati Uniti d’America e una specifica collocazione temporale: gli anni Settanta. Tolti pochi, anzi pochissimi grandi nomi, tendiamo a concepirli come una parentesi, una fase di passaggio che è poco più che un prolungamento dell’era di Woodstock e una prefigurazione delle epoche immediatamente successive. Con il punk – arrivato a fine decennio – a fare da bandierina segnaposto giusto per non lasciare la voragine in bella vista. Poco convinti? Provate a fare questo semplice gioco.…

Discovering new music has never been so complex. It may seem like a paradox, but the simplicity promised by streaming and the boundless offer is illusory: without references in sight and with a mainstream market increasingly disconnected from what is moving in the undergrowth, finding your way is a difficult undertaking, which pushes many to take refuge only in historical names and revivals. With this new initiative, we want to offer a compass: a periodic look at the many strands of the music scene through our Spotify playlists, regularly updated by the Ondarock editorial team to highlight the most stimulating…
