Reviews

While there were some moments of brilliance shining above the layers of nonchalance, this was a case where the overall result was probably not up to the standard expected by the sum of its parts.

The Cairos have been outdone by their East Coast tour mates, Tales In Space, which is great for Tales In Space, but not for the headline act.

As the venue’s sound system starts back up, the majority of the crowd remain, praying for more. It’s anyone’s guess how long they stay, desperate to see 2013’s favourite anti-pop princess one more time.

Arcade Fire have released their new track 'Afterlife' in the form of a lyric video.

Songs like And Tonight and Lost Upon The Sea will convince you that there is no substitute for the vibrant hum of a melody sung by two people that have been making music together for most of their lives.

Despite a few minor drawbacks, Wish Bone, with its light, electropop-driven tunes, is the perfect accompaniment to the coming summer months.

The album is strong, but immediate highlights like China White are impressive well beyond heightened expectations.

The ‘dream’ clouds the ‘pop’ on a few occasions, but enough special moments are splashed about – especially when female vocals appear in the mix – to make you think Delorean could find perfection somewhere in the future.
