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.
One Big Family by Templecloud | Single Review | Official Music Video
This indie-acoustic record was picked for them and is fact covered by new Polydor signing Templecloud – Hannah Symons, Simon Gwilliam, Steve Evans – who are finalising their debut album.
BitterSweetHeartAttacks by Great Imitation | Single Review | Official Music Video
Upon first sight and sound in this spit-and-saw dust venue I was expecting the usual. Too loud, unbalanced and still, too loud. Not because I’m getting old or anything – although sometimes I feel it – it’s just that small venues can’t deal with a big sound. What I heard was crisp, refined and borderline insanity.
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.
Blow by Dawn Golden and Rosy Cross | EP Review
I seem to be bumping a lot of electro-acoustic work. The perfect stuff for hangovers and comedowns on a Sunday afternoon from the mayhem of the night and early morning just passed before. My darling lady and partner agrees totally being as she has just returned from a ravers reunion with her old school mates. The ‘Blow EP’ by Dawn Golden and Rosy Cross is perfect for this afternoon and any.
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.
