2 h. ago Sacred Lodge: Ambam review | Safi Bugel's experimental album of the month

(Avon Terror Corps)Matthieu Ruben N’Dongo amps up the intensity on a second album that makes an uncanny atmosphere out of swarming electronics, grisly vocals and polyrhythmic percussionSacred Lodge is the side project of Paris-based producer and sound artist Matthieu Ruben N’Dongo. Rooted in his ethnomusicological research, which explores the role of music in ritual contexts and his own Equatoguinean heritage, the results are unsettling but compelling, characterised by heady percussion and swarming electronics. But while his 2019 debut Hijos Del Sol was made up of murky downtempo instrumentals, N’Dongo’s follow-up amps up the intensity almost beyond recognition, with a collection of sludgy, abrasive tracks.One of the starkest differences is the use of vocals, which have previously only featured as echoey background textures. On Ambam, N’Dongo makes full use of his voice. Inspired by the tradition of field hollers and ritual chants (specifically of the Fang people, from which his fat...

2 h. ago Nosferatu to One of Them Days: the seven best films to watch on TV this week

The classic movie gets a horrifying update starring a captivating Lily-Rose Depp, while SZA and Keke Palmer light up a hilarious buddy comedy. Plus: the worst – or most genius? – romcom premise everRobert Eggers, already one of the most distinctive voices in American cinema, risked looking a tad arrogant when he announced that he was remaking FW Murnau’s 1922 classic. But the risk paid off. Eggers has managed to capture both the pervading sense of dread and stylish production design of the original, while deepening the mythology to make it more palatable for modern viewers. It’s a true horror, with every frame filled with foreboding. And now, after playing both Pennywise the clown in It and Count Orlock, surely Bill Skarsgård qualifies as the world’s scariest actor. But it is Lily-Rose Depp’s tortured, possessed performance as Orlock’s victim Ellen that really impresses. Friday 12 September, 11am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere Continue reading...

3 h. ago Nielsen: Clarinet Concerto; Helios; Symphony No 5 album review – suavity and elegance from Gardner’s Bergen Phil

(Chandos)The teeming textures of Nielsen’s 5th symphony are controlled with care and refinement by Edward Gardner, with the Bergen Philharmonic – and soloist Alessandro Carbonare – outstandingEdward Gardner’s nine years as principal conductor of the Bergen Philharmonic came to an end in July 2024, but their recording projects together continue to appear. This is the third instalment of Gardner’s Nielsen series with the orchestra, after previous discs featuring the third and fourth symphonies. Like its predecessors, the latest release pairs a symphony with one of Nielsen’s concertos, in this case the Fifth Symphony, completed in 1922, with the work for clarinet composed six years later.Both works, as well as the early Helios Overture, receive outstanding performances from the Bergen players, and Gardner controls the teeming textures of the symphony with great refinement. Perhaps there’s just a little too much control towards the close of the magnificent opening movement, when the sna...

4 h. ago Domination by Alice Roberts review – a brilliant but cynical history of Christianity

The humanist historian brings objects to life beautifully, but falters when it comes to people and their beliefsDomination tells the story of how a tiny local cult became one of the greatest cultural and political forces in history. Alice Roberts puts the case that the Roman empire lived on in a different form in the church.It is not an original idea – after all the foundation prayer of Christianity says “thy Kingdom come” – but Roberts tells the story from the point of view of individual parishes and even buildings. It’s a revelation, like watching those stop-motion films of how a plant grows and blooms. There’s a section about how a Roman villa might transform into a parish, the long barn providing the footprint, the web of relationships providing the social connection, the very tiles and columns providing the building materials. I can’t think of anyone who writes better about the way objects can speak to us. There’s a passage here describing her joy on grasping wha...
