Seeping Into Cinemas| 100,000 Times
Worth investigating for anyone who likes gentle, slow-burning folk.
Seasick Steve| You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks
This is a guaranteed good listen for blues fans, and is probably the most polished LP Seasick Steve has released to date.
TV on the Radio| Nine Types of Light
Every tracks stands out on its own merits so to pick any in particular is quite the task.
Cage The Elephant| Thank You Happy Birthday
After exploding on the scene with their self titled debut album, the Kentucky garage rockers are back with one of the best albums you will hear all year.
Mark Kozelek| Live at Union Chapel & Södra Teatern
…a great way to hear one of the best American musicians around.
Bill Callahan| Apocalypse
…it’s the lightness of touch, particularly over the last four songs that stops this album being an over-serious listen.
PJ Harvey| Let England Shake
For those about to investigate PJ Harvey this seems like a good starting point, and will surely be lapped up by her many fans.
Tom Williams and the Boat | Too Slow
A review of the debut LP from up-and-coming folk rockers Tom Williams. You’ll want to listen to them after this. Even if it’s just for their Dizzee Rascal cover…
Elbow | Build A Rocket Boys!
How can they possibly live up to Seldom Seen Kid? Should Elbow follow their own advice and Build a Rocket (/bridge)?
