Listen Before You Buy

When you get something truly fresh and original, you know instantaneously. “A Hammer To The Camera Lens” is exactly that.

To simply call Alphabet Backwards catchy would not do justice to how addictive their songs are and EP, “British Explorer”, really is.

TweetShare I’ve been on an electronic and synthesizing kick, recently, after seeing Com Truise, and producer Daniel “Skit” Bruin fits perfectly into that.  I won’t hold his record label’s silly name against Skit, but “Rankadank”?  Really?  I’m tempted to just call them “badonkadonk.”  But I digress. The tracks, “Capoeira” and “Atlantis” are definitely easy to listen [...]

TweetShare It can be a noisy, crowded place here on the cutting edge of music (yes, this is the cutting edge – thanks for asking). All these young dudes and debauched débutantes clamouring for attention, filled with youthful vigour and shrink-wrapped in impossibly skinny jeans. Their cups o’erfloweth with drive and ambition and a burning [...]

TweetShare If there’s one genre of music I never expected to start getting into, it’s country. I mean, is there anything likeable about it? How often do we need to hear a downtrodden ex-cattle rustler growl about the tribulations of the trail, or how he’s called Sue, or whatever? Don’t even get me started on [...]

TweetShare By way of Manchester, England comes NO CEREMONY///, a band, artist, lone ranger….nobody knows yet apart from NO CEREMONY/// themselves, but of the one track that’s out there one thing I clear. This. Shit. Kills. When I first heard “Hurtlove” I was reminded of some of the cuts from James Blake‘s early EPs, that [...]

TweetShare Are you wondering if we’ve just stepped into 1972? Are you about to pull out your bell bottoms, fringe jackets and grow your hair out in a true afro? Stop. While the music was pretty amazing in the 1970′s, the fashion trends are better left in the past. Michael Kiwanuka has a beautiful voice. [...]

TweetShare Fink, the moniker of Brisol-raised, Brighton-based Fin Greenall, is Ninja Tunes‘ resident singer-songwriter or “guy-with-a-guitar-who-sings-too.” It might seem to be a bit of a dubious position, given the label’s tendency to output  more eclectic acts ranging from Amon Tobin to Roots Manuva, but his chilled-out, bluesy vibe has fit well into the more relaxed [...]

TweetShare Man, how much do you envy Zane Lowe? I envy him quite a lot. Tonight he debuted the first single from Kasabian‘s forthcoming album “Velociraptor!” – as you do. (Yes, not only is the album named after the widely-acknowledged Most Epic Dinosaur; it also includes an exclamation mark. That’s how you know it’s good.) We’ve [...]

TweetShare Taking advantage of their newly-minted Soundcloud page, The Big Pink have been adding some of their music to it over the last couple of weeks or so, whether it be remixes of their songs by other artists, snippets of NEW songs from their as-yet-unannounced-and-untitled album, or this cover of The Cure’s “Lovesong”. If you’re unfamiliar [...]

TweetShare Metronomy‘s “The English Rivera” has caught the attention of many admirers and its nomination for the Mercury Prize should be sufficient evidence that all remixes should be up to its caliber. Clock Opera has undertaken that task and come out with a sophisticated interpretation of “The Bay” and the remix doesn’t stray far from [...]

TweetShare What the fuck, Franky B Rockafeller, if that is indeed my real name!? I’ve only gone and Introduced The History Of Apple Pie in one of those months that happen every year but in this case it happened in 2010 when it wasn’t quite as hot as it was the month before and not [...]
