Album Review: Them Sharks - The Beasts Of Bulwer Street
Not every moment is perfect but these kinks are heat-treated with tight, confident delivery.
Album Review: Fake Blood - Cells
It’s within these walls that big beat is superseded.
Album Review: Tinpan Orange - Over The Sun
A mix of tried and true tracks suffused with interesting, quirky gems.
Album Review: Ry Cooder - Election Special
This is an album that while raw in delivery is also clever in crafting self-reflection in the listener.
Album Review: Katie Noonan & Karin Schaupp - Songs Of The Southern Skies
The softness of delivery may be acquired rather than required listening, but it’s sure to appeal across a wide audience
Album Review: Bonnie Raitt - Slipstream
Slipstream could have been another income earner for a career that has spanned five decades yet instead feels fresh and contemporary.
Album Review: Kingfisha - Kingfisha
This is a solid debut that pulls some surprises out of its well-worn Rasta hat. It should not only appeal to lovers of reggae, but also to newcomers looking for a sound complimentary to sun-drenched days and apathetic social activism.
Album Review: Justin Martin - Ghettos And Gardens
It also doesn’t tire after repeat listens and, while more garden than ghetto for the most part, gives lovers of multiple genres of electronica something to sink their teeth into.
Album Review: Various/Digital Soundboy Soundsystem - FabricLive.63
Indeed Fabriclive.63 refuses to be anything other than itself, and while in some places it feels as if it’s just keeping it together, in others it sounds perfectly balanced.
Album Review: Jack Colwell And The Owls - Picture Window
...Picture Window shows a songwriter with accomplished skills and the ability to pick clever collaborations.
