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 […]
One’s rightward vision is left temporarily enfeebled by misconstrued tomato (chilli), the situational table is laden with culinary utensils both clean and not, while boiled (9 minutes?) poultry-offerings linger within tarnished cardboard bespoke for their form and a sleeve bearing the late John Denver’s image gazes upwards at lighting courtesy of the accessible switch helping […]
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 […]
Scaphoid’s Absent Passages, is an interesting and impressive album –even more so because it’s a solo project arranged for full band with creator Matt Hobart playing every note. Unfortunately, even though I know people who will really enjoy it, most of the observations I can make about Absent Passages are technical and critical, because as […]
“Hello I’m Johnny Cash” sings Bill Callahan as the opening line on ‘Pigeons’ the first track on his new album ‘Gold Record’. Perhaps a cheeky nod to those who have noted that over the years Bill Callahan has slowly transitioned from indie rock quirkiness with his Smog output into more mellowed, yet no less acerbic, […]
Which band can claim to have had The Beastie Boys at their debut NYC gig, Madonna supporting them in the early 80s, and also labelled ‘that jazz band from Wythenshawe’? Welcome back, A Certain Ratio. I used to listen to ACR on the long bus journey from Wythenshawe to Altrincham on my Walkman (yes I […]
