I've never been to me.

Aria C Jalali!

Postmodernism EP
Filthy Little Angels

Aria C Jalali!’s Postodernism E.P. begins promisingly, with its enjoyable title track containing a number of nice touches, and feature a pensive ambiance somewhat unexpected from someone who includes an exclamation mark as part of his name. more… “Aria C Jalali!”

Captain Polaroid

Pro Action Replay EP
Filthy Little Angels

Captain Polaroid’s “Pro Action Replay” E.P. contains a generous helping of six lo-fi, minimalist songs which utilise the bare bones in terms of production, but are eager to entertain on the basis of the abundant enthusiasm which has gone into their creation. more… “Captain Polaroid”

Plastic Toys

Let Me Feel the Love
Hill Valley

The Killers have a lot to answer for. You can’t turn the radio on without hearing keyboards that sound like they were imported direct from Blackpool Pier. more… “Plastic Toys”

ReCoup

Remind You
Initiate

ReCoup’s ‘Remind You’ begins slowly, with softly sung lyrics backed by earnest, echoing guitars and piano, and at first seems not a million miles away from the likes of Simple Minds’ ‘Belfast Child’. more… “ReCoup”

The Rainbow Family

This Is Not A Circular
Console Sounds

There must have been a heatwave when the Rainbow Family were crafting their debut album in the highlands of Scotland. This is Not A Circular is a decidedly summery affair full of lush harmonies and sunshine pop, from start to finish. more… “The Rainbow Family”

Kate Walsh

Tim's House
Blueberry Pie

While Kate Walsh’s soft voice may not seem particularly distinctive, it is certainly apt for the sweet airs which make up her first album proper. more… “Kate Walsh”

To My Boy

Messages
Abeano

Messages is the most fashionable album that’s made its way into my conservative CD player in quite a while. Packed chock full of 90s techno riffs and 80s synths, it struts with a confidence in its timeliness. more… “To My Boy”
