TY SEGALL PRESENTS NEW SINGLE ‘ALTA’ – LISTEN NOW
Alta by Ty Segall It’s a new day in the world of Ty Segall, and every truly new day means another truly good song! Captured in gleaming widescreen, ‘Alta’ is a hometown jam that Ty (with his Freedom Band) has been playing at shows all over the place this year. It’s a nature jam as well – basically a “fuck-the-last-500-years” jam, which shows just how far back Ty’s willing to go to get really back to nature. It’s a love song... Read More
TELEMAN ANNOUNCE NEW EP OUT NOVEMBER ALONGSIDE NEW SONG ‘BONE CHINA FACE’ – LISTEN NOW
Teleman have announced their new EP titled ‘Fünf’; the band’s third body of work following two albums Breakfast [2014] and Brilliant Sanity [2016]. Having always wondered what it would be like to make a record with each song recorded by a different producer, the band enlisted five different producers from electronic/dance backgrounds to see if they could bring anything new to their sound, working with Timothy J. Fairplay, Ghost Culture, Bullion, Oli Bayston... Read More

LIVE: AMBER ARCADES – 30/10/2016
Amber Arcades by Nick Helderman – SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – “We don’t really celebrate Halloween in the Netherlands, but tonight we’ve come as people dressed in glitter,” states Utrecht’s Annelotte De Graaf aka Amber Arcades, clearly misunderstanding the dress code. Glitter though is a good representation of the dream pop made by Amber Arcades, which, while feather light, manages to achieve a devastating amount of directness that carves out a separate...

ALBUM REVIEW: NICOLAS JAAR – SIRENS
Nicolas Jaar – Sirens After five years, Nicolas Jaar has finally put out a new album under the metaphorical name Sirens. When I saw the cover, I already had a really good feeling about it. It’s a scratch-and-win cover that reveals one of his father’s works, who is also an artist – depicting a fancy and upscale America from a Chilean perspective. As probably many of his fans know, Jaar has Chilean heritage and also spent some time growing up there before... Read More

LIVE: SLOW CLUB – 28/10/2016
Slow Club – BAND ON THE WALL, MANCHESTER – The dulcet tones of the Bard of Salford, John Cooper Clarke, drift over Band on the Wall’s PA as we wait for the arrival of Slow Club. They stride onto stage and start, appropriately enough, with ‘Come On Poet’, the brooding centrepiece of this year’s album One Day All of This Won’t Matter Anymore. It demonstrates ably just quite how far they’ve come as a band in ten years. Musically, that is, if not geographically:... Read More
LIVE: JESSY LANZA – 26/10/2016
Jessy Lanza – SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – Like many I suspect, my first introduction to Jessy Lanza was via her guest appearance on Caribou’s Our Love album track ‘Second Chance’. Her cooly detached vocal fitted in perfectly with Caribou’s slinky dance music, and I was smitten. Now, with two might fine solo albums under her belt, I’m finally getting to see her after a mate had been telling me ‘you really should see Jessy Lanza’ every time I went to a festival... Read More
