The Law
Trigger (Local Boy)
It must be tough being in The Law. Lots of early promise and hype
long players
Lana Del Rey
Born To Die (Polydor/Interscope)
…so here it comes. The most anticipated debut of 2012, from an act who was barely known six months ago.
Amplifier
The Octopus (AmpCorp)
Dear God in heaven. I have reviewed some awful records in five years plus of reviewing for Is This Music?
RM Hubbert
Thirteen Lost and Found (Chemikal Underground)
Hubbert’s acclaimed debut ‘First and Last’ was very much a solo pursuit- literally one man and his guitar, with occasional percussive backing.
Alberteen
Metal Book (Rhythm & Noir)
I can’t decide whether it’s the fact that Metal Book was so catchy, or that my laptop was just slightly too far away to hit ‘next’ that I listened to this about five times back to back last Saturday night
