Chocolate Hills - Cracking Kraken
The Orb's Alex Paterson has a new album forthcoming, under his Chocolate Hills alias (a duo with Paul Conboy). Cracking Kraken is a first taste of what to expect: a delightful dubby ambience!
LP Yarns from the Chocolate Triangle will be released on 16th June 2023.
By chance I stumbled across the doom-filled Dub of Deadline Paranoia and this led me to the three EPs released by Dutch label Ongehoord in the last few years. Well worth checking out.
