EP Review: Future Cavemen – II

The EP can be something of an artform in and of itself. Step forward, Future Cavemen (aka singer-songwriter/producer Joe Tennant). Punters don’t necessarily do albums now. A single, tho, is not always enough. And sometimes four tracks can say more...

Album Review: Anna Westin – LEV

Creative and distinctive, poised, poetic and mysterious … LEV is Anna Westin’s new and fascinating indie folk record. The music seems to aspire to the almost sacred bubble of Iris DeMent, or the atmospheric, multi-layered arthouse soundscapes of Portishead...

Album Review: Tin Woodman – Songs For Eternal Lovers

Wake up to a brave new world of self-realisation and discovery in 2022, courtesy of the second full-length album from this Italian crew. You want some fun? This is some fun. The glammed-up, loved-up, spaced-out guys ask: “Why can’t everyone...

Some things hit out of the blue and you just have to tell people – you have to! Isn’t music a wonderful, revelatory, multi-faceted salve of a thing? Listening to the new Alt-country, Americana record by Laura-Mary Carter, I am...

EP Review: No Bragging Rights – Self Titled

It’s late in the year and you will already be compiling your “best of” lists – but spare a thought and leave a slot for California-based Melodic Hardcore outfit No Bragging Rights. What does it sound like? Well, I’m showing...
