In May 2024, Facelift began a series of features with a number of international musicians who despite having no geographical connections with Canterbury, have become associated with its musical genre. This phenomenon has been variously described as ‘neo-Canterbury‘ or in some quarters ‘Canterbury 2.0‘. All musicians featured have released albums in 2024. Some of the interviews below stretch to several parts. This is an ongoing series and the intention is to interview a minimum of a dozen bands and musicians.
Canterbury 2.1 – Tom Penaguin (France)
Canterbury 2.2 – Lunophone (Ireland/Italy)
Canterbury 2.3 – Fabio Golfetti (Brazil)
Canterbury 2.4 – Amoeba Split (Spain)
Canterbury 2.5 – Carla Diratz (France)
Canterbury 2.6 – Zopp (UK)
Canterbury 2.7 – Homunculus Res (Italy)
Canterbury 2.8 – Magick Brother Mystic Sister (Spain)
Canterbury 2.9 – Dave Newhouse – The Muffins (USA)
Canterbury 2.10 – Needlepoint (Norway)
