In this episode we were lucky enough to catch up with two Kscope artists who both have new music to share with us.
Firstly, we hear from Iamthemorning's virtuoso pianist Gleb Kolyadin who is celebrating the release of his solo album Mobula which takes listeners on a journey through cosmic landscapes, where imagination transforms the ordinary.
Then our host Billy Reeves chats with Colin Edwin (ex Porcupine Tree) about the upcoming album from his band O.R.k, who have been teasing this release with singles for the last 6 months so it really is a long awaited release!
The new album Firehose of Falsehoods marks another chapter in the band’s ever-evolving exploration of progressive, alternative, and art rock and captures O.R.k.’s signature mix of spontaneity, intricacy, and supreme musicianship.

This month we catch up with Mike Vennart of Oceansize, a timely chat ahead of our reissue of the momentous and cinematic “Frames”, but not just a standard reissue, we have of course given it the Kscope treatment, it is presented on gatefold 3LP and includes extra tracks and rarities plus unseen photos.
Nowadays Mike enjoys success with his latest project Empire State Bastard as well as touring with Biffy Clyro, But host Billy Reeves asks him to go back in time and reflect about his time with the hugely influential Oceansize and even wonders what it would take to get them back on the road.
PLUS the latest single from O.R.k and a reminder that The Pineapple Thief are hard touring in the USA so we thought their topically named single Election Day deserved a spin!

As we reach the end of summer in the UK, TesseracT are coming to the end of the latest leg of their mega tour which was in support of their album War of Being (which incidentally is a year old this week) so we thought we would have an overdue catch up with bassist Amos Williams about life on tour away from loved ones, making up for lost time and future plans.
This week also sees the release of "Powder Dry" the long awaited new album from Tim Bowness so we thought his song "Summer Turned" would be well placed in this episode falling on the cusp of Autumn.
You will also hear from The Radicant, Storm Corrosion and our most recent additions to Kscope IHLO

Kscope are releasing the debut EP by The Radicant who you may know as Vincent Cavanagh, the former frontman of Anathema.
The Radicant is a solo project of sorts which includes collaborators from many disciplines, informed in part by Vincent’s composition work for recent multi-media installations by fine artists; so this is pop music presented as aural sculpture.
The EP is out now, so it was time for Billy Reeves to catch up with the man himself, in a Grade II listed north London church, recommissioned as London’s newest art gallery. Where else?!
