Albums
Modernaire - Velvet Never Dries
It’s going to take divine intervention for the city of Manchester to hold on to pop duo Modernaire.
Young Galaxy - Young Galaxy
With a self-titled debut album called ‘Young Galaxy’ it’s not surprising that this release is not just a little cosmic.
The Violets - The Lost Pages
New Cross’s The Violets are inspired by all manner of stimulants, most of which are gloomy and surreal.
Sigur Rose - Hvarf/Heim
It sounds ludicrous, pompous, patronising and almost nationalistic, but Sigur Ros astound partly because they don’t sing in the English language.
Soulwax - Most of The Remixes
Of remixes, Blur bassist Alex James says they’re pointless, feeling that the true art form of music should not be dabbled with.
Metric - Grow Up And Blow Away
Until now, if you wanted to get your mitts on Metric’s debut album, you’d have to have paid through the nose for an imported copy.
David Gilmour Girls - Vultures
No, not an all-female troupe inspired by the words and music of the Pink Floyd man...
Disco Drive - Things To Do Today
The cover of Disco Drive’s second album looks like the corrupt Tweeny has barfed all over Tony Heart’s studio.
Black Diamond Heavies - Every Damn Time
Tennessee is a place where fashion doesn’t exist. Because it doesn’t need to.
The Fiery Furnaces - Window City
Although stylistically similar to 2004’s ‘Blueberry Boat’, ‘Widow City’ feels far more musically self-assured...
