Six new reviews and an Interview with Leyland James Kirby

Been busy with getting/starting a new job and training for a sports event, so I've been limited to music journalism only over the last few months. Very happy to have interviewed Leyland James Kirby (the Caretaker, the Stranger, VVM) as his music has been an inspiration ever since I first heard Selected Memories from the Haunted Ballroom back in 2001. Was also delighted to review Roger Doyle's new record, which coincided with his election to Saoi in Aosdána, the highest award open to an Irish artist. And I've also started a series of reviews of music roughly grouped under "post-Vaporwave", starting with releases from 2814, Wuso 命 and a collaboration between 猫 シ Corp. & Telepath.
