Los Angeles – As Light As Light is Los Angeles natives Andrew and Daniel Aged’s sophomore LP, but it is the duo’s first release after christening themselves inc. no world. The siblings formed Teen Inc. in 2010 before changing the band’s name to simply “inc.” Not too long after this name change, inc. released an EP and then a
London – Since forming in 2014, Brooklyn NYC and more recently LA-based trio DREAMERS has harvested a healthy fan following and critical approval off the back of constant touring and a run of popular singles, all three of which feature on this titular-challenged debut album, This Album Does Not Exist. Before we all run into corners to form
London – If 2014’s inventive eponymous debut recording by Arc Iris whetted the appetite for the strange and beautiful, then its follow-up, Moon Saloon, provides a veritable banquet. The Providence, Rhode Island trio of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jocie Adams, keyboard meister Zachary Tenorio-Miller, and percussionist Ray Belli has cast aside some of the debut’s trappings of Americana in
London – Hit Reset is the follow up to The Julie Ruin‘s 2013 debut Run Fast and the documentary The Punk Singer, detailing frontwoman Kathleen Hanna’s career from the days of Bikini Kill through to Le Tigre and now The Julie Ruin. The original Riot Grrrl, former stripper, and would-be sexual-abuse-counsellor is back again with a band lineup that includes
London – Carry Your Kin is the debut album from The Breath, a new band from Manchester, UK that proves the old adage that opposites can attract. Guitarist Stuart McCallum and singer Ríoghnach Connolly arrive from quite different musical landmarks, yet combine splendidly on this nine-track collection with the able support of McCallum’s band mates from his Cinematic
San Francisco – Nostalgia is a tricky thing. It’s one of the more complex emotions we feel as humans, as it embodies a yearning for the past that combines the happiness of memory with a strong sense of melancholy. It inflicts the sting of the passage of time and the futility of being unable to recapture or relive
London – Young Runaway is the second studio album from young English singer-songwriter Hattie Briggs, following her acclaimed 2015 full-length debut, Red & Gold. In a revealing testament to her art, Briggs dropped out of university (Oxford, no less) two and a half years ago to pursue a full-time musical career. On the evidence of this latest record,
Los Angeles - Niklas Kramer is a Berlin-based artist, who performs under the moniker Still Parade. On June 10th, Still Parade is set to release his ten-song debut, Concrete Vision. He first hit the scene a few years back with the Fields EP and its mesmerizing single. “Actors.” The release was recorded in well-equipped professional studios, with seasoned producers. Then, in 2014,
London – UK rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen is loved by fans somewhat more than by critics; which is probably the right way round if you are keen to sell out venues rather than simply bask in hype. Despite some critical coolness, there is much to like about the band’s uncomplicated approach to its resolute and riff-happy
San Francisco – I’ve always wanted someone to throw me a surprise party. It just never happens though. I tend to blame sitcoms for this yearning; they just make it look like so much fun, and there are always seemingly endless antics to be had on such an occasion. That, and the notion that all your friends are
