Album stream: Lily Allen – ‘Sheezus’
Finally, the album is here and we can put all those silly controversies about racism, sexism etc… behind us! Lily Allen certainly knows how to get people talking about her…. The wittily/desperately titled Sheezus is Allen’s first album since 2009’s It’s Not Me, It’s You and features the previously released, and mostly controversy-sparking, singles ‘Hard […]
Album stream: Gruff Rhys – ‘American Interior’

EP review: Florrie – ‘Sirens’
With a Calvin Harris vibe back from when he was good, ‘Free Falling’ is a catchy uptempo, electronic number with the sweet lead vocals of Florence Arnold pulling you into the record. With echoes of ‘Reverse Skydiving’ from Hot Natured, with the titles eerily reflecting each other, the use of rhyming and mixing up of […]

Stream: Neon Neon’s new album ‘Praxis Makes Perfect’
Neon Neon, the synth duo comprising of Super Furry Animals’ Gruff Rhys and producer Boom Bip, surprised everyone with their debut album Stainless Style – managing to actually succeed in making an entertaining concept album about inventor John DoLorean. Now they’re at it again, choosing relatively unknown Italian left-wing activist and publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli as […]

Jack White – ‘Blunderbuss’ album review
Jack White – Blunderbuss [rating:5/5] Buy Blunderbuss As perhaps the most enigmatic and mysterious rock star of the past decade or so, Jack White is not to be trusted. He, more than any of his peers, understands the benefits of mythologising and misdirection in the world of rock and roll – creating a rock star […]
