I love El Vy. Their album ‘Return To The Moon is one of the best albums of 2015 and has so many stand out tracks. My track of the day is a beaut, No Time To Crank The Sun is one I have on repeat on a regular basis. Have a listen because if youContinue reading “Track Of The Week-El Vy- No Time To Crank The Sun”

Grimes-Visions
Visions is Grimes third album released in 2012. I heard ‘Oblivion’ around that time and liked it so I kept tabs on what she was doing. It wasn’t until 2014 that I bought the album and I wish I had it two years earlier!! Subsequently, my girlfriend and I went mad for Grimes, and weContinue reading “Grimes-Visions”
Track Of The Week-The XX-On Hold
I’m starting a track of the week section purely to share the new XX track. It’s just out today with an album to follow on January 17th. Compared to previous XX material, its different, more lively and incredibly creative, have a listen and enjoy. G.M
The Antlers-Familiars
‘Familiars’ was released in 2014 and brought with it the usual acclaim an Antlers album does. It is The Antlers fifth album and you would expect to see the pattern of growth musically continue. I’m giving the album a listen and reviewing it at the same time, so this is based off first impression, albeitContinue reading “The Antlers-Familiars”
Stone Temple Pilots-Core
Core is the first album released by Stone Temple Pilots. Like many other hard rock bands such as Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam that came to prominence in the 90’s, STP had the hard rock sound, long hair, screaming vocals and drugs, except maybe they had a more consistent heavy grunge rock sound. YouContinue reading “Stone Temple Pilots-Core”
Teen Men-Teen Men
I like Teen Men. There, I said it. The first time I became aware of these guys was Electric Owl in Vancouver. They were supporting Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and to be honest, they were ten times better than the headliners. They had a quirky Vampire Weekend feel to them, with every song being oneContinue reading “Teen Men-Teen Men”
The XX-XX
I fucking love this one so I do. From “Intro“ to “Stars“, it’s a beauty. The minimalist sound is something that always catches my ear because you hear every detail, the lyrics and the sound. It reminded me of Televisions “Marquee Moon” in its sound, un-scratched and crystal clear. This was such a ghostly andContinue reading “The XX-XX”
The Antlers: Hospice
Hospice is the 3rd album released by The Antlers. It came out in 2009, and I think I bought it sometime in early 2010 because it was pretty new. I found The Antlers on The Last Broadcast, as I have with many more bands I follow. I didn’t know much about them as a whole,Continue reading “The Antlers: Hospice”
Josh Ritter: The Animal Years
Josh Ritter’s “The Animal Years” was released in 2006 through Independent Records. He was also named one of the “100 Greatest Living Songwriters” by Paste magazine the same year, and this album holds many of the reasons why. Its 49 minutes in length, but with the way it makes you smile,wonder, and stop and think it feelsContinue reading “Josh Ritter: The Animal Years”
The National: Boxer
Boxer was the first National album I bought, in 2008. I had heard “Apartment Story” on The Last Broadcast, and thought it sounded something similar to Interpol, a band I adore. So off to the big city I went and picked up Boxer. Buying the album has lead me to pick up everything the NationalContinue reading “The National: Boxer”
