Boss
words by Laura Hughes
It’s not often you hear bands like this. Since opening for the mighty Sonic
Youth in 2004, Connecticut duo Magik Markers have been handed a megaphone in the shape of Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace! label. 'Boss' is the follow-up to last year’s 'Panegyric To The Things I Do Not Understand', exploding with feedback like a noisier Kills. Elisa Ambrogio is a tougher, disengaged Polly Harvey while a brief appearance from Lee Ranaldo packs a hefty punch to complete 9 songs worth of dirty, distorted genius.

Friendly Fires - Friendly Fires
From the Kajagoo Goo-baiting ‘In The Hospital’ to the opening Ibiza-paddling ‘Jump In The Pool’ Friendly Fires have proven to be both wise and worth the wait.
autoKratz - Down & Out In Paris & London
As ultra-hip Parisian label Kitsune continually prove with their ‘numbers’ compilations, they’re dance heads that rarely get it wrong.
