• Album Review: Leftfield – Alternative Light Source

    In the sixteen years since the release of their last album ‘Rhythm and Stealth’ in 1999, the departure of co- founder Paul Daley and a 2005 ‘Greatest Hits’ compilation seemed to seal Leftfield’s fate as a relic of the often mythologised 90’s rave scene; a powerful weapon with which...
  • Album Review: Dan Friel – Life

    Brooklyn-based American outsider house musician Dan Friel has been in the music-making game for quite some time; he self-released his first EP almost fifteen years ago. However, being a seasoned veteran in the music business does not automatically make him a strong musician. As seen in Friel’s latest LP...
  • Album Review: Deerhunter – Fading Frontier

    Over the last half a decade, each Deerhunter album appears to have coincided with a traumatic period in lead-singer Bradford Cox’s life. Their 2010 album Halycon Digest and Cox’s solo 2011 album Parallax were as a result of the deaths of two close friends, while 2013’s Monomania was a...

    Missouri garage-punk trio Radkey return to Nottingham in support of this year’s debut album Dark Black Makeup, with Wolverhampton two-piece God Damn in tow. Since their appearance on Jools Holland two years ago, the three home-schooled Radke brothers that make up Radkey have slowly, but surely, built a reputation...
  • Album Review: Beach House – Thank Your Lucky Stars

    Beach House (a.k.a Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally) are a band that have been, if nothing else, remarkably consistent in their output. The duo had, until recently, released five albums of dependably high-quality dream pop at a rate of one every few years since their debut in 2006; the...
