ALBUM REVIEW – ART SCHOOL GIRLFRIEND: LEAN IN

Starting off with a looped beat, followed by some ambient sounding synthesiser, ‘Doing Laps’ is an interesting track to start the album. It feels almost dreamlike with Art School Girlfriend’s whispery sounding vocals, with a backdrop of ambient synths, almost new age sounding ambience. The outro sounds like something Boards of Canada would come up […]
Rock music talking about deep and dark themes hasn’t been a mainstay in the charts for a while, but with 2022’s ‘Reeling’ The Mysterines were able to get a top 10 album by doing so. They merge influences from grunge to Billie Holiday and Betty Davis to create a sound like no other. Consisting of […]

Undoubtedly, Alice Glass was integral to Crystal Castles’ foundation and rise. Her visceral, secretly-recorded vocals on glitchy debut single ‘Alice Practice’ saw record deals come pouring in, and she made a mesmerising front woman, as unrestrained live as she was difficult and impenetrable in interview. But when she announced her departure in October 2014 and […]

LONDON QUARTET THE BIG MOON REVEAL NEW SINGLE ‘CUPID’

TAME IMPALA RELEASE NEW VIDEO FOR ‘LET IT HAPPEN’

Teaming up with English director David Wilson for a second time, this video is a surrealist take on the transient, overworked existence of a modern day businessman. Tame Impala and Wilson previously collaborated on the music video for ‘Lonerism’’s ‘Mind Mischief’ and more recently Wilson was nominated for a Grammy for his stunning statement for […]
The Maccabees in my opinion have always been an underrated outfit. When you’ve got groups like Kasabian and Kaiser Chiefs pissing around the industry like headless chickens desperately trying to reinvent themselves, it’s nice to see a band come along with a positive correlation rather than a disjointed ‘progression’ in accordance with fashion trends in […]
