The Quietus has published a review of Noel Gardner’s October edition of “New Weird Britain”, positioning it as a guide to the current British underground. The piece notes a range of unconventional releases, including a “bananas mashcore” track created by a large group of children from Rotherham.
The review also points to a showcase of the “discombobulatory potential of the human voice”, suggesting that the compilation pushes vocal experimentation. Gardner’s commentary frames the collection as a snapshot of the massive amount of music being recorded worldwide, much of which never reaches a public audience.
As first reported by The Quietus, the article reflects on how informal music‑making sessions could gain cultural significance if documented, implying that “New Weird Britain” captures moments that might otherwise remain unheard.
