    Vampire Weekend – Modern Vampires Of The City – Soulful songs for mere mortals

    May 22, 2013 | 0 Comments | More

    Vampire Weekend make a break from what originally made them popular, to be replaced with a weird yet accessible record. A record based around mortality, sitting deep within the heart of their American heritage.   Regardless of how much distance Vampire Weekend try to put between their previous albums and ‘Modern Vampires Of The City’, [...]

    Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds ‘Mermaids’ Latest Single and Live Video

    Nick Cave singing about Mermaids and backed by singing kids? You might wonder what’s going on here. The latest single from Nick Cave and his cohort Bad Seeds is a walk into a magical place fizzing with life and myth.

Michael Nyman’s brand of broad-strokes baroque is almost as tiring to listen to as it is to play, but there was just enough variation in this unique programme dedicated entirely to his ‘rewritings’ of works by Purcell, Handel and Monteverdi, to make for an entertaining and surprising evening. Michael Nyman is a deeply divisive figure. [...]

Cinematic, ever so slightly tongue in cheek, sultry & resolutely Northern:  Sheffield’s Canyon Family re-imagine Americana from a diet of daytime Westerns and charity shop country lps, with a refreshing undercurrent of 90s pop playfulness. They easily escape tweeness because of a combination of savvy lyrics, stonking tunes, and the mournful Lee Marvin whisper of [...]

Drummer/singer Jessie Love is a tropicalia glamourpuss with a Bardot up-do and a vintage reporter’s mic, streamlined for thrusting in the pursuit of truth.
