The Weeknd- Beauty Behind The Madness
‘Beauty Behind The Madness’ is the second album from The Weeknd. I hadn’t heard of him until I was in Canada, so he kind of came out of nowhere for me. I think he was pretty well known before this release though in Canada and the US, but as we all know he blew upContinue reading “The Weeknd- Beauty Behind The Madness”

Tom Waits-Closing Time
This is going to be a hard one. Or very easy..this is one of my favourite albums of all time so I’m either going to wander into how much I love it or get mumbled along the way.

Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures
Joy Division’s debut ‘Unknown Pleasures‘ is regarded by some as one of the best albums ever released. When I first heard it I was in awe of the sound and feel of the album largely down to Ian Curtis presence.

Arctic Monkeys- Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

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”

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”
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”
