ALBUM REVIEW: OSCAR JEROME – BREATHE DEEP

‘Breathe Deep’ is the highly anticipated debut album from Oscar Jerome who is part of London’s burgeoning nu-jazz scene. Now, before we continue, don’t let the term, jazz, put you off. For anyone who has been following how the scene has developed over the last few years you’ll know that Jerome and many of his […]

FEATURE: WHY SHALLOW WATERS ARE THE BEST BAND YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF

Silent Radio’s Jon-Paul Berry conducts a socially distanced interview with Shallow Waters’ Martyn Abbott and Chris Pearson. It all began in a seedy Amsterdam hostel located on the cusp of the bustling red-light district in 2017. I found myself under the influence of substances I would rather not discuss; sat gawking out of the cobwebbed […]

ALBUM REVIEW: HAIM – WOMEN IN MUSIC PART III

Haim are back! After their more pop-leaning second album, they return with the posthumously titled ‘Women in Music Pt. III’. I can now say with no uncertainty that this is probably one of, if not the, best albums of the year, and it’s only June. ‘Women in Music Pt. III’ is their most personal, inventive […]

ALBUM REVIEW: HINDS – THE PRETTIEST CURSE

Two words spring to mind when I think of the Spanish quartet Hinds, and that’s colourfully consistent. Whether it be live or recorded, they never seem to dissatisfy. The band have just dropped their third album ‘The Prettiest Curse’ and you’d be a fool not to put it on to your summer playlist. Hinds have […]

INTERVIEW: BADLY DRAWN BOY

It’s hard to believe that ten years have passed since Manchester’s Badly Drawn Boy released a studio album. Not that Damon Gough has been completely away from music, there’s been the serenely beautiful soundtrack work and the occasional live gig, but the past few years have seen major upheavals, both in the wider world, and […]

INTERVIEW: FLATWORMS

INTERVIEW WITH THE EARLY MORNINGS

SINGLE REVIEW: DEATH VALLEY GIRLS – BREAKTHROUGH

Death Valley Girls hit the streets once again with a single release of ‘Breakthrough’. A very charming and inviting success at merging the ‘old rock’ sound into a modern sound. They’ve got their influences tied into their groove without relying to much on just ‘sound like they did okay!’. Having never listened to the group […]

ALBUM REVIEW: NO AGE – GOONS BE GONE

In a year spinning so far out of control and social reach, it seems only fair to abandon it to be forgotten, as it only brings shame within the yearly calendars. Though one positive of ‘this year’ has given us, is a sleuth of good album releases. Fitting to the torrid trap that is ‘this […]

EP REVIEW: FURROWED BROW – DEAD DEAD DEAD STILL DIGGING

Abstract: This EP is a zesty chorus stratagem of drain-pipe bass lines, journeyman synthesizations, moderate baritone delivery, candid fills and 6-stringed nuances which sail alongside tri-timbre-d lyrics that provoke humour, adds colour to the pallet of the mundane   and tastefully ventures into the distasteful without catering toward frightful yacht-rockisms or baseless complaints towards imaginary authority […]

ALBUM REVIEW: TIM BURGESS – I LOVE THE NEW SKY

I bet Tim Burgess never thought when he started writing solo album number five, that when it was released he’d be hosting twitter listening parties for music fans all over the world with no live gigs on the horizon. Although it’s a weird world we live in today, there’s something strangely comforting and upbeat about […]

ALBUM REVIEW: BADLY DRAWN BOY – BANANA SKIN SHOES

It’s been ten years since Badly Drawn Boy’s last studio album, the world has changed a lot, Damon Gough’s life has changed a lot, yet there’s something reassuringly familiar about ‘Banana Skin Shoes’.  Gough recently revealed that he was inspired by the The Beastie Boys book, and wanted to return to the drum loops and […]
