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”
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”
Track Of The Week-Savages-Adore
I bought Savages second album ‘Adore Life‘ a week ago and I can’t stop listening to ‘Adore’. I liked their first album, but I love this second effort. Have a listen to ‘Adore’ below.
Did A Little CD Shopping!
Did some CD shopping and ticked a few essentials off my list. What do you guys think?
El Vy- Return To The Moon
When I heard about Matt Berninger and Brent Knopf’s new project El Vy, I couldn’t wait to hear what they would deliver. It was only when I heard about the project that I discovered Menomena, and their sound mixed with Berninger’s voice had the potential to be something special. I also knew it was probablyContinue reading “El Vy- Return To The Moon”
Track Of The Week- Joni Mitchell- River
For the season that’s in it! Joni’s brilliant River..
Vampire Weekend-Vampire Weekend
I’ve to admit something before I start. When I first heard ‘A-Punk’ I thought Vampire Weekend were just another blip in the ocean of average one-hit wonder bands that were floating around in the late noughties. I thought “fuck sake, everyone going mad again for a shit 3 something minute song”. Oh I was soooContinue reading “Vampire Weekend-Vampire Weekend”
Track Of The Week-HIBOU-Above Us
HIBOU ARE BLOWIN’ UP. I saw HIBOU in Seattle as a support act to El Vy about a year ago. They were a perfect support act because they had everyone jumping around and really set us up for a great night. Check them out online and start with Above Us!
Van Halen-Van Halen
‘Van Halen’ is the debut album by Van Halen. They were already a big deal on the local scene before this came out and Eddie Van Halen was well known for being an up and coming leader guitarist in the industry. Funnily enough, I first heard Van Halen in ‘Back To The Future’, butContinue reading “Van Halen-Van Halen”
