We recently featured ‘Mulholland Drive’ – The Penelopes first single from their new EP ‘Leave them all behind. This time the french duo offer up a beautfully Sia-esqe video for their latest release ‘Roses’. Once again the Parisian pop artists serve us a slice of nostalgic, electro-pop matched to a set of striking visuals from…
It’s no surprise that a city as unique and combustive as Liverpool would bring together a band so striking as Wide Eyed Boy. Two parts British, one part German and one part Australian, this four-piece take their adopted home’s heritage seriously – from the internationalist culture of the city, to its inevitable musical lineage. Oliver,…
May I take a brief moment at the beginning of this review to honour the memory of both Kevin Dicker and John Slocombe, the two plays being put on by the Bournemouth Shakespeare Players this year were their favourites and it is a fitting tribute indeed. Having worked with them both in the past the…
From their native Paris suburbs, to their lives in London, The Penelopes, formed by Axel Basquiat and Vincent T have turned their attention from remixing the likes of Lana Del Rey, Pet Shop Boys, and Alt-J to composing music for film for Asia Argento and others. The new single, ‘Mulholland Drive’, with its L.A.-shot video,…
James Gillespie comes forth with the unlikeliest covers, a delicate yet fun rendition of Pink’s “Don’t Let Me Get Me”. The cover follows on from one of the the most exciting debuts of the year with “What You Do”. Bringing his already-recognisable vocal – that rare juxtaposition of rich and raw – to a pop…
It has been over two years since we last ripped into a shitty album, perhaps we were shielding ourselves from a flood of bollocks ruining our love of music. Some say that no album could have been quite as bad as Bruce Willis’ ‘Return of Bruno’ and that is why we haven’t dipped into the worst…
Yeah we posted about Tom Walker earlier today – what you going to do about it? When an artist this good drops two sweet-ass releases within a matter of days of one another it would be rude not to feature them both. The video for ‘Blessings’ beautifully sums up a key message in this life…
Tom Walker is currently taking 2017 by storm, building on the release of his debut EP ‘Blessings’ by releasing a huge new track in ‘Heartland’. Co-written and produced by Naughty Boy, ‘Heartland’ “is about temptation getting the better of you. It’s about life’s hangover, where you wake up the next morning and realise things haven’t…
“The goal with this was to have the percussion and bass down first.” shares Woodes, “I’ve been writing that way in order to make sure the energy and the heart is in it first.” The young Australian songwriter has no doubt nailed her brief. Run For It is full of energy, life and a very…
Rumour has it that the members of MUX had to listen to White Stripes in one ear and Aphex Twin in the other at the same time to come up with their brilliantly unique sound. In truth MUX blends elements of electronica, stoner, trip-hop and punk and blends them well. Check out their first release ‘MDMA’…
Alessandro Ciminata found himself on Spotify Fresh Finds after receiving a warm reception to his previous release ‘Last Call’ on THE LINE OF BEST FIT . The London-based singer-songwriter now releases his gorgeous, barbed new single ‘Demons’. A beautifully fragile, painfully sombre call to his own insecurities, ‘Demons’ recalls the standout raw emotional melodies of Jose Gonzales…
The scene couldn’t have been set more perfectly, with the beautifully archaic walls of Omeara housing a packed crowd for Tom Walker. The night was kicked off in a charming fashion by Swedish trio Strandels, a wonderful concoction of guitar and vocal melodies that captivated and calmed the audience. Calm is not the word to…
