Oh boys. Oh boys. Ohboysohboysohboys! What a fucking album ‘I See You‘ is. One of the best first time listens I’ve ever had, it’s almost flawless. To see where The xx have come from and see how they have progressed and changed without fearing the reaction is amazing. If you take anything away from anyContinue reading “The xx- I See You”

John Grant-Queen Of Denmark
John Grant is one of those artists who can pull off almost anything. His album ‘Queen Of Denmark’ consists of songs filled with humour, relationship break ups, religion and general life issues. A collaboration with the band Midlake, its pop, synth-pop, folk and electronic. He also showcases his skills on the piano in most tracks.Continue reading “John Grant-Queen Of Denmark”
Track Of The Week- Run The Jewels- Banana Clipper
Bought myself a ticket to Run The Jewels who play the Olympia at the end of March. In light of such a monumental moment in my life, they get the track of the week this week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66iV3wuWWuc
Track of the Week- St.Vincent-I Prefer Your Love
What a woman St. Vincent is. Incredibly beautiful in every sense of the word and a fantastic and daring artist. ‘I Prefer Your Love’ from her 2014 self-titled album is a prime example of her abilities. Check it out!
Glass Animals-Zaba
‘Zaba‘ is the debut album by English band Glass Animals released in 2014. I hadn’t heard of them until I came home last summer and a few friends were raving on about them. So what’s all the fuss about? A strange mix of hip-hop beats, jungle sounds and alt/indie rock makes up the album. It’sContinue reading “Glass Animals-Zaba”
Mac DeMarco-2
Mac DeMarco’s ‘2′ is one of the most chilled albums I have. It sounds like he put minimal effort into it but still ended up with a pretty good record. Obviously, he put in the effort as it was his debut record but I’m just talking about the overall feel. This is the first DeMarcoContinue reading “Mac DeMarco-2”
Best Coast- Fade Away
I had only heard Best Coast’s debut, ‘Crazy For You’ because it somehow ended up on my laptop. I liked a few tracks off it like ‘Boyfriend’ and ‘I Want To’, and I dug the whole surf/dream pop thing. What stood out though were the lyrics, which I thought were as predictable as water being wet.Continue reading “Best Coast- Fade Away”
Wall Of Sound
Some posters that hang in my room. I’ve either bought them or taken them from album sleeves.
Savages-Adore Life
Savages debut album ‘Silence Yourself‘ was excellent, ‘Adore Life‘ is twice as good. I can see how ‘Silence Yourself‘ was so well received by fans and critics but their follow up is kind of perfect! They’ve replaced the chaos and madness with a more controlled madness, building an album that twists and turns throughout withoutContinue reading “Savages-Adore Life”
Editors-The Back Room
‘The Back Room‘ is the debut album by English post-punk/rock band Editors. It was actually the second Editors album I bought because I only heard of them when ‘An End Has A Start‘ came out. I actually prefer this one to their second effort as it was a little more dark and and also slightlyContinue reading “Editors-The Back Room”
