Molek FMClap Your Hands Say Yeah: Hysterical
When the first strains of the opener, ‘Same Mistake’, come breezing through, we soul searched like true music lovers do, and asked: “Is this the new The Killers track?” Of course not; it’s just Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s third album.
Penguin Prison: Penguin Prison
First spin and it’s yet another act on the ’80s NYC/Euro synth-disco bandwagon. A second listen yields comparisons with Frankmusik, Holy Ghost!, a less cheesy Calvin Harris, and even George Michael.
Jack White: ‘Love Interruption’
Jack is back on track! Is anyone keeping score on our rhyming skills? Because that one just took the cake. But we digress, ever since The White Stripes parted ways last year, Jack has been a member in two bands — The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. Now, he’s ready to step out with his […]
Algodón Egipcio: ‘Los Temas Turbios’
What in the name of all things JUICE are we doing writing about a Venezuelan artist? You must be wondering. Suddenly, we can speak fluent Spanish? We understand the language beyond the words “Si”, “No hablo Espanyol” and “Me Gusta”? To be really honest, we have no clue what this guy is saying, but we […]
Lightships: ‘Two Lines’
Like sitting alone on a beach, not having to worry about anything at all, Lightships’ ‘Two Lines’ has a calming, relaxing effect on the listener. Even the video seems to have magic relaxing properties that make you want to lean back in your chair and imagine the warm breeze in your face. Great for lazy […]
The Black Keys: El Camino
In the fickle times that today’s music industry exists within, it’s all too easy for a single LP to be the high point of a band’s career. Yet having reached their seventh album, Ohio rock outfit The Black Keys have perfected their sound, and against all odds, proved they’re here to stay. Admittedly there’s a […]
Lana Del Rey: Manufactured Risque
America’s answer to the crushable indie songstress (move over Florence and Lykke Li) Lana Del Rey, has critics divided over the authenticity or ‘alternative cred’ of her debut; is it true that she has had lip injections? That she was formerly known as Lizzy Grant? That she has a rich daddy but decidedly set up […]
The Roots: Undun
Undun is The Roots most ambitious and shortest record to date. Clocking in at only 39 minutes, the Sufjan Stevens-inspired album nevertheless tells an urban tale of the unmentioned death of a street thug told in reverse. Here band leader ?uestlove, mistakenly thinking he was Gaspar Noé and Charles Burnett (just look at the Killer […]
Amy Winehouse: Lioness: Hidden Treasures
Gauging the success of a posthumous release is an exercise in diplomatic and controlled criticism. It’s not that as reviewers we fear reader backlash, rather it’s a natural reaction to commenting on what could be the last few materials your favourite recently deceased artist has left you with. Amy Winehouse was a prodigious talent whose […]
