ALBUM REVIEW – SUNN 0))): SUNN O)))

Sunn O))) have once again provided an album to lose oneself in. A place to forget. A multifaceted white noise machine to slow the world down around you, adding a space for clarity of mind and a chance for breath. That sentiment is undeniable for me when listening to Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley paint these […]
The third solo album from Jenn Wasner, recording under the name Flock of Dimes, is an unflinching account of addiction, co-dependency, trauma and finding peace in the face of other’s suffering. In Wasner’s own words, “As it turns out, this record is not someone else’s story–it is mine, the story of my life. A life […]

ALBUM REVIEW – FRANKIE COSMOS: DIFFERENT TALKING

Grounded upon a musical foundation of gloriously youthful indie-rock sounds, four-piece New York based Frankie Cosmos declare their talents with sixth album Different Talking. At first, the 17-song track list appears daunting, but with songs no longer than three minutes, we are met with an almost rapid fire of snappy yet thought-provokingly relatable lyrics set […]
I haven’t anticipated the release of an album as strongly as I have in the case of Alan Sparhawk’s debut solo record, ‘White Roses, My God’. Like countless other fans of the work he produced while a member of the esteemed duo Low (alongside Mimi Parker), I was taken aback upon listening to ‘Can U […]

ALBUM REVIEW – PISSED JEANS: HALF DIVORCED

On their sixth full-length album, Pissed Jeans are as unruly as ever. Bringing out a new batch of their noise-rock/hardcore punk brew, the band bring new insight into their world of bleak, sarcastic wit. Opener ‘Killing All the Wrong People’ barrages through its runtime of just over two minutes, bass writhing under the epidermis, guitars […]
Omni fans will have a broad idea of what to expect from their fourth album. It will consist of a set of musical miniatures that suggest a strand of post-punk influences shorn of retro leanings, boasting twisting and chopping guitar riffs, staccato rhythms and lean melodies that inspire a desire to throw shapes. However, within […]

ALBUM REVIEW – J MASCIS: WHAT DO WE DO NOW

I don’t need to introduce J Mascis do I? You know, Dinosaur Jr, one of the greatest guitarists of all time, etc.? Yeah, I thought so. As the voice and lead guitarist in one of the most iconic, influential and long-lasting alternative rock bands of all time, it’s really a formality to go over who […]
SLIFT’s ‘Ilion’ is a psychedelic adventure through heaviness and bold expression. Eight tracks or pure, unadulterated rock n roll, this latest record from the French three-piece is a fabulous listen. The vocals are shouty, the bass and drums are pummelling and the guitar solos are mesmerising. Cuts like “Nimh” and the title track, have an epic […]
