The Exotic Ices Project – Neurorotica

The Exotic Ices Project aims to unite their listeners, break genre barriers and have fun while doing it! This trailblazing duo, consisting of Ruby Jones and Patrick Spillane, creates immersive listening experiences handling all the instrumentation and production themselves – illustrating how the creative process for modern musicians goes beyond boundaries formed in past decades. Innovative and experimental, there’s something within this band’s discography for everyone. 

The track ‘Neurorotica’ from their latest album ‘Necessarily Unnecessary’ explores neurodiversity and autism awareness, and how we can break down the stigma within these terms. Blending rock with indie to convey the feelings of angst and truthfulness, ‘Neurorotica’ highlights the issues that coincide with neurodivergency and the impact it has on the lives of those with and without a diagnosis. Breaking down the boundaries around these terms means we can all gain a better understanding of the human condition, embrace our individuality and build a world where we welcome diversity not just within the creative industries, but in every area of life. The eclectic balance of classic rock instrumentation and honest lyricism pulls the listener in, and the sonic landscape of every song from ‘Necessarily Unnecessary’ makes for a compelling listen.

Amaya – Places Unknown

AMAYA, the mesmerising duo made up of Duncan Chapman and Supriya Nagarajan, mix traditional with experimental in their new single ‘Places Unknown’. The track “takes listeners on a journey of spiritual discovery” celebrating Lord Shiva in all his glory, utilising the serene sounds of the flugelhorn and experimental landscapes.

Duncan and Supriya make a brilliant sonic team with the use of Chapman’s flugelhorn and field recordings, while “Supriya’s soulful voice and intricate Carnatic stylings bring a rich vocal presence to the stage”. This unique combination is what makes their work so special, as it brings various musical traditions to the ears of a wider audience whilst harbouring vibrant soundscapes that speak to each of us in a different way.

AMAYA also perform their timeless bodies of work live, and if you are lucky enough to catch a live performance you are transported “to another world where music and sound are the only guideposts”. If you are a fan of innovation, electronic, acoustic or traditional music, this is definitely an act to look out for.
