What would My Bloody Valentine sound like if they were fronted by The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas? It’s not a question I’ve ever found myself asking before but it seems relevant in light… Continue reading
Still smashing it. TALA is one of my favourite artists to break in 2014 and here’s exactly why – ‘Unfinished Business’ is yet another example of her innovative and exotic-tinged dance music, and… Continue reading
Usually if I come across an artist that is labelled with the generic term “singer-songwriter” I take it as an indication that I’m not going to be a big fan when I… Continue reading
Proper dreamy, this. In fact, you could get completely lost in Firestations’ floaty, folky, psych-tinged sound and have no complaints. ‘Forgetful Man’ is as peaceful as they come, and it’s the lead… Continue reading
There’s something very beautiful about Water Sark’s ominous sound – their music is full of spiritual harmonies and ethereal melodies, all touched by some kind of ghostly essence. It’s quite fascinating. Though… Continue reading
Aside from having the sickest album art of the year (forgive the sweeping statement – I’ve had lots of coffees this morning and am feeling particularly excitable), Alex G’s album also lays… Continue reading
Temples fans will no doubt dig the sound of this new Franco-English duo. In fact, even Temples themselves would probably get on well with these guys – so similar are their evident… Continue reading
Simon Lam and Chloe Kaul are two cousins from Melbourne who make up Klo, an electro/R&B duo who sound more than accomplished on their newest track ‘Under Lie’. An up-tempo beat provides… Continue reading
So I was first introduced to Meltybrains? (phenomenal name btw) by reading NME’s Ireland exposure article recently, which was in the hands of fellow Dublin-ites Girl Band – but I didn’t quite expect… Continue reading
Sean Schuster-Craig is the newest member of the Weird World Record Co. family, recording under the nom de plume Jib Kidder – and on his new track ‘Dozens’ he sounds like soft, psychedelic bliss… Continue reading
“Real rock music should hurt, or be a punishing experience”, say Brighton sludge punks Ragweed. And after a hectic weekend of attending non-stop gigs, I’m seriously feeling punished. Even though it’s mid-week… Continue reading
So I recently came across Kikagaku Moyo (Japanese for “Geometric Patterns”), after seeing a Falmouth sound engineer post about them on Facebook. “I don’t usually do stuff like this but I engineered for… Continue reading
Kagoule are a band I’ve posted before, so I’m glad to hear that they’re still sounding rad on new track ‘It Knows It’. Nottingham seems to be on fire at the moment in… Continue reading
My latest revelation has arrived – and in a year where my favourite album and live performance has both come from the same masked Swedish tribal psychedelica outfit, Songhoy Blues could not be… Continue reading
Cherry Glazerr are a band that I’ve only caught onto recently, but they’re absolutely fucking SICK. A product of the ever-impressive Burger Records, the Los Angeles three-piece blew my mind with September’s crashing… Continue reading
I haven’t heard a lot of bands who come from Argentina, but Tirman Kid have a sound that sounds great no matter what side of the world it’s played from. ‘Gotta Do… Continue reading
Peluché are a female three-piece from South London who sound to me like an ‘80s punk band having a bubble bath (in the best way possible). If they’d done it different –… Continue reading
