Thursday 11^th February - ‘Hauntings’ is Richard Barbieri’s first studio album since 2021’s ‘Under A Spell’ and deepens the pensive, dark instrumental aesthetic of its predecessor.

Richard Barbieri remains one of contemporary music’s most distinctive voices. Emerging as a key architect of the late ’70s/’80s synthesiser revolution with David Sylvian’s art-rock ensemble Japan, his visionary synthesiser programming expanded the horizons of electronic music and left a lasting mark on artists from The Human League and Duran Duran to Gary Numan and Talk Talk. His subsequent and ongoing tenure with Steven Wilson’s legendary progressive outfit Porcupine Tree across albums such as In Absentia (2002), Fear Of A Blank Planet (2007) and, most recently, Closure/Continuation (2022) further affirmed his status as one of the most intuitive and unique musicians of his generation.

The album finds Barbieri at the height of his powers, his deft keyboard and sonic architecture conjuring a shadowy, creeping Lovecraftian atmosphere. The music wanders through the streets of a gloomy lamp-lit Victorian London and drifts into grain-speckled snapshots of Belle Époque Paris. These journeys into the past are contrasted with nihilistic but euphoric forays into the future, “Traveler” and “A New Simulation” bristling with the itchy modern anxiety that often runs through his best work.

Contrasting the sound designs and electronics of Barbieri, the album features performances from renowned musicians Morgan Agren (drums and percussion), Percy Jones (bass guitar) and Luca Calabrese (trumpet).

Richard Barbieri’s new album Hauntings will be released on Kscope on 10^th April 2026. Pre-orders are available here.

ARGOVIA RELEASES THE SINGLE EBB & FLOW FEATURING ROSS JENNINGS OF HAKEN

Photo: Camilo Báez

The Colombian band Argovia, one of the most distinctive voices in Latin American progressive rock, releases their new single Ebb & Flow, out today on all digital platforms. The track is the third preview of the band’s upcoming album Primal Repetition, due in 2026, and features a special collaboration with Ross Jennings, vocalist of Haken.

Ebb & Flow explores a confrontation with one’s own fragile and defeatist side, initially perceived as an external, alien voice. As the song unfolds, this dialogue is revealed to be an internal process—a conversation with personal vulnerability. The lyrics reflect on how life can push us to the edge and cause us to forget what is essential—seeing, listening, and being—and suggest that only by accepting both light and shadow it is possible to move forward, fight to be truly alive, and regain balance.

To reinforce this ambiguity between the internal and the external, the band chose to approach the song as a vocal duet, a device they have long been drawn to and previously explored on their Who We Are EP. From there, the idea emerged to invite Ross Jennings to take part in the song and develop this concept on both a vocal and emotional level.

“Haken is one of the most important bands within the progressive genre and one of our favourites. Ross is one of my musical heroes. Working with him is a dream come true and he is an incredible singer. We wanted to challenge ourselves and show that we are a band capable of aiming for that level and building something bigger than we ever imagined,” says Ani Guillén, Argovia’s vocalist and guitarist.

Jennings recorded an initial vocal demo remotely while touring with Haken during Cruise to the Edge 2025, working from an improvised studio set up in his cabin. After this first exchange, he recorded the final vocal takes upon returning to the United Kingdom.

“I connected deeply with this particular song and I’m very happy with the result. Argovia deserves more attention than they’re currently getting. I think it’s a great song, with really deep lyrics, and I hope you enjoy this other side of me, adding my voice alongside Ani’s. I hope you like the song. Listen to it now. It’s available on all streaming platforms,” adds Ross Jennings, vocalist of Haken.

Produced by Argovia alongside Germán Vergara (Aisles), mixed by Fernando Cubillos (Aisles, Helloween, Mark Farner) and mastered by Steve Kitch (The Pineapple Thief), Ebb & Flow unfolds through an immersive and melancholic soundscape built on layers of synthesizers and a once-again prominent bass, gradually leading toward a tribal climax driven by Afro–Latin-rooted percussion. This moment serves as a reminder of what is essential: returning to being, seeing, and listening.

According to the band, “Ebb & Flow is the conceptual epitome of Primal Repetition and is probably the song that sets the thematic pulse of the album. The ebb and flow does not propose a definitive way out of the cycle, but rather the acceptance that this repetition is part of the human experience.”

BLIND REVOLUTION IS SET TO RELEASE THE FOLLOW UP TO THEIR 2020 ALBUM MONEY, LOVE, LIGHT. FAR FROM THE SUN DROPS IN MARCH WITH THE TITLE TRACK AND FIRST SINGLE OUT NOW WORLDWIDE THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

Stockton, NJ - Blind Revolution is a modern Italian Hard Rock/AOR band from Sicily who were formed in 2010, by the brothers Simone and Cristiano Sipione, respectively guitars and vocals, who decided to give life to a new band after several previous musical endeavors. Known for their 80s-inspired sound with catchy riffs and big choruses, heavily influenced by classic bands like Journey, Whitesnake, and Bon Jovi.

Driven by the will to honor their idols and music influences they found experienced bassist Massimiliano Ricciardo who was the perfect rhythm section partner. Natural chemistry was immediately born between the three, which soon became a great friendship. After a few personnel changes, they caught a lucky break and welcomed Giovanni Maucieri on drums, one of the most talented drummers in the area and completed the line-up of Blind Revolution. They released their debut album Money, Love, Light in 2020.

They are now following it up with their sophomore release Far From The Sun featuring ten brand new songs like the first single and title track “Far From The Sun”. Within a few months of starting production, arrangements for nearly half of the album were completed, however, one of the members had other commitments which caused a slowdown and prolonged the recording sessions. Thus, in 2024, after ten years with the band, drummer Giovanni Maucieri decides to leave to pursue other projects. The remaining members, however, didn’t lose heart and, after a few auditions, found Angelo Moretto to be the right person to step in and become the new official drummer.

The guys are very excited about their new release and as Cristiano explains, “Everyone says this about their own work, but we genuinely couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished with Far From the Sun. These songs represent exactly who Blind Revolution are today — one hundred percent.” Simone continues, “Far From the Sun is an album that reconnects you with your most visceral emotions: it can make you angry and fire you up, push you to reflect and then let yourself go. It’s powerful rock music that speaks straight to the soul.”

Massimiliano adds, “The writing and production process took quite some time, but we’re convinced it was worth every moment. The songs have always come first, and we truly believe they come across as honest and authentic.” Moretto concludes, “This album is especially meaningful to me as it’s my first recording of original material. 'Far From The Sun' blends powerful melodic riffs, driving rhythms, and memorable harmonies, and I hope it resonates with listeners.” The full album drops March 13^th through Deko Entertainment.
