The Dark Dark Bright – There Will be Fireworks
Its been rather a long time since the first, wonderful There Will Be Fireworks self-titled album back in 2009, even though there was that EP to keep the faithful on side. So, for whatever reason, not a band that throws out … Continue reading
We are Serious and We Mean It – Glacials
Sometimes a little bit of wonderful drops into the inbox and so it was with this album from Glacials. A serendipitous bit of six degrees of separation – Glacials are chums with the ever wonderful Tessellators, themselves pals with the … Continue reading
Melt Yourself Down
Drat, I had this post in hand way before they popped upon Jools’ Later this week but didn’t bang it out fast enough, hey ho. I am knocked out by MYD and have been ever since I had to stop … Continue reading
Dan Croll – Compliment Your Soul
Everything’s been just a bit shit recently and I have rather descended into a bit of a slough of despond and my listening taste has gone along with it. Nowhere near enough time to listen let alone be careful with … Continue reading
Roo Panes
I feel I am heading into another folky period and so how timely to (finally) stumble across a new home grown voice. Roo Panes, whose musical maturity belies his scandalously young twenty three years has obviously achieved some traction with a couple of EP’s, some radio exposure and … Continue reading
Lovelier Other
I have instantly become obsessed with the only two tracks that American (?) duo Lovelier Other have available – their first track, Leave This Behind and their most recent Hidden Shelters. Wilfully obscure MW and LV give little away, their FB … 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
If Not Now When – Olly Knights
Ah OllyKnights! The voice that has followed me through the years as part of the sainted Turin Brakes; they that provided the first gig I ever took the Lad to, albums I return to time and again, shows full of … Continue reading
Ásgeir Trausti
I must thank the sainted Olafur Arnalds for the heads up on this extraordinary young Icelandic chap, Ásgeir Trausti. At a scandalously young 20 years he sings with the qualities of Justin Vernon and Jeff Buckley. The live version below is a special thing but … Continue reading
If Not Now, When – Olly Knights
It’s hard now to recall a time when the music of Turin Brakes wasn’t an enduring part of my musical life. The soundtrack to many memorable moments. True the white heat of their ‘fashionable’ break through may be long gone, … Continue reading
