Brakes

Rock is Dodelijk

Brakes serve up an ear-thrashing 20-track live album that showcases their gleefully manic rock show. more… “Brakes”

Thirty Pounds of Bone

And They Go Down To It In Ships…

So much so has the Thirty Pounds of Bone debut album, ‘The Homesick Children of Migrant Mothers’, never been off my stereo it’s hard to believe it’s been three years since it was cast onto these shores. more… “Thirty Pounds of Bone”

Graham Coxon


The Spinning Top

Graham Coxon
The Spinning Top
()
So here it is, the seventh solo album from the greatest guitar player of his generation, equaling the amount of long players Blur have in their canon more… “Graham Coxon”

Doghouse Roses

How’ve You Been (All This Time)?

This Glasgow based duo’s debut long-player is an absolute gem of a record. Recorded with producer/composer Malcolm Lindsay, who has previously written and arranged for The Delgados and The Willard Grant Conspiracy, it’s an album that relies on the simplest of formulas more… “Doghouse Roses”

Weezer

The Red Album

If anyone’s after a good laugh you could do a lot worse than getting the new self-titled Weezer record, being dubbed as the Red album due to the sleeve colour that provides the backdrop for the guys to dress up like the Village People (god knows what they were thinking!?!). For those of you that have managed to avoid the leaked tracks then you’re in for a real mind blowing experience in every sense, but mostly in the sense of confusion. more… “Weezer”

Beck

Chemtrails

Beck returns with his first new material since last year’s uber-pop internet-only single, ‘Timebomb’. Is it anything like that? more… “Beck”

Matt Eaton

Finish Your Chips

Actress Hands’ main man goes it alone and makes his best record yet. You may not have heard of Matt Eaton yet, and God knows he may never break through into any form of mainstream success but it’s not for the want of trying when he makes such beautiful pastoral pop music as contained here. Bizarrely named, ‘Finish Your Chips’, people who are getting a boner about Bon Iver right now should seriously check this out. more… “Matt Eaton”

Thomas White

I Dream of Black

Thomas White ventures out on his own for the first time whilst on a very rare break from Electric Soft Parade and Brakes commitments and the results are, in a word, brilliant. If you’re wondering what the point of this record is being that White pens most of the ESP songs and has more than a hand in the Brakes material then I suggest you just get a copy, sit back and soak it up. more… “Thomas White”
