I love Dizzee Rascal. Boy in the Corner is neigh perfect. While his rise and rise has been witnessed here through his many memorable performances at BDO, it seems as though in his homeland, he’s really still to achieve full crossover stardom…at least, for the moment. Great article in the Guardian about the man, and [...]

Are Deerhunter possibly the greatest band in the world? Possibly. Revival (from the upcoming ‘Halcyon Digest’) puts pay to anyone questioning whether ‘Microcastle’ was a one-off (though I doubt anyone is that stupid).

Yeah Tron Legacy will be cool – and Daft Punk will be making it cooler. You can check out snippets of the French duos work on the Soundtrack (or is it the score?) for the upcoming movie here.
Early leaks from Nathan Williams’ Wavves project (‘Mickey Mouse’ and ‘Post Acid’) had me frothing at the mouth. His DIY ethos, Lo-Fi slacker approach and crazy concert antics had me intrigued.

This track is about as catchy as anything you will ever hear. Q-Tip still sounds as slick as he did when he was brand new – and Amanda [...]
My love for Flying Lotus is well documented, and this years ‘Cosmogramma’ might just be the best thing sinceā¦Los Angeles. The video for ‘MmmHmm’ provides the perfect visual imagery to FlyLo’s audial effort. A dreamy soundscape on complimented with dreamy visuals so to speak. And the coolest thing? Directed by Special Problems! from NZ (who [...]
When I think music these days is going all shit, I often find myself tracking back to albums that make me feel calm and happy. You know..”Comfort albums”. The Black Keys’ “Rubber Factory” is always there. There for me to clean my ears of the drivel and music crimes of modern day music. While I [...]
I’ve pretty much liked everything that Nathan Williams has done in the past under the Wavves monkier. It’s so lo-fi and full of energy, it’s impossible not be taken back to another moment in time. For me, it’s the soundtrack to every skate session I ever did. Williams has done an amazing job at taking [...]
