‘Shame! Shame! Shame!’ No, you haven’t landed in an episode of Game of Thrones or Boris Johnson’s email inbox, but the review for the new Shame album “Drunk Tank Pink”. The alt-rock/post-punk band return with their second album, the bigger and better follow up to their promising debut. The album itself goes bigger than the […]
Here Lies Man vocalist Marcos Garcia says, of their new album Ritual Divination: ‘It’s an inward psychedelic journey, the album is the trip’. He says ‘Musically, it’s an opening up more to traditional rock elements.’ – and it’s easy to hear Black Sabbath and Steppenwolf and the retro theatre organ evokes Hush by Deep Purple. […]
As a happy accident of this devastating, pandemic situation, Domino Records’ boss Laurence Bell came up with the wonderful idea of gathering The Kills’ B sides and rarities in a double album, aptly titled “Little Bastards”: A bunch of 20 lost, hidden-in-digital-platforms gems that the British-American duo released between 2002-09. All tracks have been remastered by […]
As 2020 (thankfully) draws to a close and the “best albums of 2020” lists published, I’m hoping there remains a spot for this cosmically inspired entry from the sample-based group The Avalanches. This album was four years in the making, compared to the sixteen gap between their critically lauded first album ‘Since I Left You’ […]
Since the release of 2017’s Flying Microtonal Banana, Australian psych-rockers King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have always hinted at further exploration into the world of microtonal tuning. Now studio album number sixteen KG, finally delivers with an amalgamation of microtones and essences of previous albums adding to their ever-present and diverse musical odysseys. Beginning […]
Rising star often gets thrown around a lot, but in the case of Beabadoobee, that title is more than well deserved. Bea Kristi is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter from London who has blown up the internet with viral hit “Coffee,” along with a series of successful EPs and a sample of her vocals being used on […]
I don’t trust people who say they like all types of music. That is a pretty, blanket statement. I like food but it doesn’t mean I like eating all food. There will inevitably be some music that I don’t want to listen to. However, I can see the merits of most music even if I […]
Twisted Ankle’s self-titled debut album is determined to wriggle its way out of any boxes you might want to put it in. Over the course of eleven songs many different musical avenues find themselves explored, though all of them are loud and dirty. Opening song ‘(All My Life I Wanted To Be A) Mortgage’ sets […]
The story of The Green Child is a fascinating one with members Raven Mahon and Mikey Young meeting in California before Raven moved to Australia to work with influential Australian musician Mikey on the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne. Since the move, The Green Child have already made one album and ‘Shimmering Basset’ is their latest […]
Leeds band Magick Mountain are a new and exciting act that have concocted fuzzy, psychedelic tracks that result in a masterclass enough to make any fan of this genre stop and marvel. Their new album Weird Feelings is set for release on October 23rd and is going to be something special. Immediately, ‘Bart Cobain’, with […]
