LIVE: Black Peaks / Palm Reader / Toska @ The Haunt, Brighton

Final nights of the tour are always special. They signify the end of a chapter, new friends and new experiences and for Black Peaks tonight it signaled the start of what must feel like an amazing adventure, where pinching themselves has become a daily ritual. Tonight Black Peaks returned

Landscapes ‘Modern Earth’

There is definitely a different vibe to Landscapes’ latest offering ‘Modern Earth’, the maturity evident; the sonic levels this album hits leaking out like a tin of spilt red paint over a white marble floor. Shaun Milton’s vocal parts are as strong as an ox and the clarity is simply
