The Eleventh Hour by The Birthday Suit | Album Review w/ Free Download

From sweet harmonies with pure heartfelt passion to passive-aggressive melodic statements, this album is almost a musical montage paying homage to bands we should all be into by now whether they be more indie-rock or acoustic-folk artists.

Phantoms EP by Bird | EP Review | Introducing

As they are edging themselves away from their native West of England port, they are becoming riveted in acoustic shows across the airwaves and building a fanbase of the down-to-Earth, mature souls and I would assume being a comfort to teenage angst.

What The Water Gave Me by Florence And The Machine | Single Review | Official Music Video

It is unmistakably Florence And The Machine. After her small stint with a Rascal and her award winning debut ‘Lungs’, this lady is most definitely welcomed back with open arms.

The Death Of You And Me by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds | Single Review | Official Music Video

The ‘High Flying Birds’ are not 6 air-hostesses, they are all quality musicians in their own right who, in a way, simply asked to be in Noel’s band. The ‘Birds include Mike Roe who played keyboards on the ‘Be Here Now’ tour for Oasis, Russell Pritchard from The Zutons and even a Liverpudlian guitarist named Macca

Bon Iver, Bon Iver by Bon Iver | Album Review

The sweet and serene vocals are similar to the harmonies of the Fleet Foxes and the electro-acoustic, chilled-out melodies are calming, soothing and rather paternal. With twinkling triangles, bicycle bells, electronic sound effects all wrapping around the impeccable acoustic guitaring the overall sound is nothing short of majestic

Ukulele Songs by Eddie Vedder | Album Review

I’ve listened to the album a couple of times this afternoon with the windows open, the sun shining, birds tweeting and the dog barking like mad. The music has been a delight. From tracks such as You’re True, Longing To Belong – both below – and the wonderfully simple and romantic rendition of Dream A Little Dream.

Celebration, Florida by The Felice Brothers | Album Review

To some people, this will be an introduction to a band that they have never heard of. To others it’s just another quality release from the delightfully sincere The Felice Brothers. Ian Felice, James Felice, Christmas, Greg Farley and David Turbeville are the band of two brothers and lifetime good friends stemming from the small community outside of New York in Palenville.

The A Team by Ed Sheeran | The Original, Koan Sound, True Tiger & Shy FX Remixes | Single Review | Official Music Video

New artists are continually coming through and getting noticed. Just lately, there is one chap in particular who is making waves after releasing his first EP which hit the higher spots on a few chart lists without any promotional aid. A rare move nowadays.

Mirrorwriting by Jamie Woon | Album Review

I’m struggling to begin with this article. I’m struggling to pigeon-hole this record into the right genre. But that is wrong of me. Music shouldn’t be categorised so easily as there are many variations. Many styles. This debut album by Jamie Woon is certainly one not to be pigeon-holed.

Gold In The Shadow by William Fitzsimmons | Album Review

Every now and then you find yourself a little stressed. A bit worked up. Counting to ten will not work anymore to reduce your heart rate to a suitable level. A holiday is probably on the cards but it’s not always that easy to just jump in the motor, on a train or skip to the nearest terminal with passport in hand to get away from it all.

Iron by Woodkid | EP Review | Official Music Video

Heading along the same lines as The Shoes with their chilled out, warming and heartfelt lyrical electronica. We have a man who is following a similar path who goes by the name of Woodkid. Electro-acoustic I’d say.

Have One On Me by Joanna Newsom

If there was ever a voice that managed to captivate you. Place you into a dumb trance because of the sweet delights released from the vocal chords as well as the delectable vibrations emanating from a glorious harp. This is a voice that will certainly do that. What a trance I am now in.

Painters Hands and a Seventh Son by Courtney Marie Andrews

This girl may sound sweet like chocolate but if it was perhaps “one of those days” then I swear there is the power here to destroy hearts and souls. This is special.

Gurrumul by Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunipingu | Album Review

World Music is not as mainstream as some would like it to be. Fortunately, Jools Holland introduces us to artists and groups that have travelled miles to be able to deliver some true, cultural quality.

Lungs by Florence and The Machine | Album Review

Florence Welch has a delectable voice full of passion, power and screams out her soul beautifully with harmony, strength and subtlety. Her range is quite impressive with lyrics that are honest, epical and anapestic.
