Beabadoobee Fake It Flowers

ALBUM REVIEW: BEABADOOBEE – FAKE IT FLOWERS

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 […]

This is the Kit

ALBUM REVIEW: THIS IS THE KIT – OFF OFF 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 […]

ALBUM REVIEW: SCAPHOID – ABSENT PASSAGES

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, […]

ALBUM REVIEW: A CERTAIN RATIO – LOCO

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 […]
