Album review
Rainbow Skull
Rainbow Skull (Rainbow Skull)
‘Spot the influence’ is an entertaining game, but this Midlands trio rather spoil our fun
Elaine Lennon
Elaine Lennon (Little Sailor)
Elaine Lennon has been bubbling under on the Scottish music scene and this first 11 track album is a confirmation of her talents.
Isobel Campbell
There Is No Other… (Cooking Vinyl)
If it seems like a long time since we last heard from Isobel Campbell… well, it has been.
The Grand Gestures
Low Lights (Chute)
Jan Burnett of Dundee’s finest Spare Snare approached a large variety of different singers, wordsmiths and artists for collaborations
The Just Joans
The Private Memoirs and Confessions of The Just Joans (Fika)
Referencing James Hogg’s classic tome in the title
Oliver Spalding
Novemberism (Monotreme)
Jeff Buckley is an obvious comparison to make with Oliver Spalding.
The Rotations
Backwards and Forwards EP (labelname)
Oh my good god, what is going on with The Rotations – another twisted collection of tracks released with no fanfare
The Girobabies
Bus Stop Apocalypse (Traffic Cone)
This nine track 2012 album was overlooked by BM at the time but there is such a thing as a legacy, even in these shallow days of ‘Likes’
She Makes War
And Peace (My Big Sister)
Bristol’s She Makes War (aka Laura Kidd) is bowing out of her SMW project with this excellent retrospective album
