Sole and The Skyrider: Hello Cruel World
Hello Cruel World,the second LP from the Anticon alumnus Sole with the Skyrider Band.
Ferns: Fairweather Friends
Ferns’ sophomore is a lot like its predecessor On Botany – jangly guitars, a sound informed by the past, and fuzzy sounds all around – but this time the band decided to anchor the record around a broad theme, the weather. Put away fears of second album delusion of grandeur though, this concept doesn’t carry […]
Clap 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.

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 […]
