Gaps
How frustrating to find something new that you like but largely draw a blank on more information. Gaps seem to hail from sunny Brighton by the sea (a few seagulls make a cameo appearance), a personal old stomping ground of many moons … Continue reading
{Awayland} – Villagers
Sometimes it only takes a few plays to know, and Villagers {Awayland} does just that, you know this is good, good stuff. Having played Becoming a Jackal to Death and so eagerly awaited the follow up, there is of course the … Continue reading

Grizzly Bear – Shields
Sometimes an album just gets right under your skin, becomes one of those things you just can’t stop listening to; an all absorbing passion. How often I have sought out such music, buying albums that promise much all too often … Continue reading
The Night Country
Right-o, counter to my usual blogging activity this isn’t per se about music, although it is related. Its about gig posters/artwork-y sort of stuff and in particular the work of The Night Country the nom de peinture of one Ross … Continue reading
