Kitchens of Distinction
I have long harboured a fondness for KOD and especially the 1990 album Strange New World. I really don’t l know why they didn’t make it much bigger than they did, but their 10 year stint ran out in 1996. … Continue reading
Goldheart Assembly
Courtesy of Steve Lamacq’s blog I was alerted to the welcome and jolly sound of Goldheart Assembly. The stylee does sound very retro but there is still a fresh twang to it, and how good is to hear some great … Continue reading

Max Richter is a UK based composer with references to Philip Glass, Arvo Part and the like and has produced music for films and and an claimed set The Blue Notebooks with readings by people like Tilda Swinton, available through … Continue reading
Simon Says No! Podcast
After a couple of little mentions about Norweigans Simon Says No! I was lucky enough to have chat with 3 of the lads about their forthcoming EP, playing in the states and a few other bits and pieces. Podcast Simon … Continue reading
Automatic Drawing
An LA band that bubbled up courtesy of mp3hugger and about whom I can find little information but there is a certain slightly shambolic nature which reminds me in curious ways of Salt and Samovar although they are clearly from … Continue reading
