Album Review: Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
Everything about it – the sound, the title, hell, even the cover art – screams science fiction. Whether you agree with that admittedly dorky notion or not, you can’t disagree that Tomorrow’s Harvest is a journey.
Features / Music
Crossing Borders
"I think there’s less live elements on this record then there was on Black Sands. I kind of wanted to move away from that sample-heavy, downtempo sort of sound."

Album Review: Mount Kimbie - Cold Spring Fault Less Youth
The greatest strength, by far, of Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is the live percussion tracking.
Features / Music
Divine Intervention
“When you think about it that way, you know, it is a job. To write the songs is one thing, but then to have all of them in a collection released by a label, you owe that label."

Album Review: James Blake - Overgrown
Retrograde was an easy pick for lead single; it’s the most accessible track here.
Features / Music
Finding The Faith
“The vocals are very low in the mix sometimes, which... which was a bit of a surprise, I’ll be honest."
Features / Music
Word Of Horse's Mouth
“The album just came out today, so we’re pretty excited. And uh, yeah, getting ready to play again.”
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Bibio - Silver Wilkinson
Bibio heeds no boundaries in bringing moonlit, sombre folk and party tunes together. Whether you have the patience for it is another matter.

Album Review: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Specter At The Feast
Dave Grohl’s finger is also well on the button on a lot of the tracking, obviously – especially on the drums. The result is spacey and airy in parts, crunching in others.

By The Seats Of Their Pants
"Now that we’ve had the latitude of recording an album, we really feel a freedom to experiment a lot more, in a constructive way. Even Dave’s songwriting has matured a lot from those first songs."
Features / Music
The Shocker
"That’s how we started. And we were fucking awful, we were shit. And then Seamus – our ginger contingent – joined up after that as the lead guitar player, and that’s how we ended up where we are now.”
Features / Music
They'll Stone Ya
“We want to be the best we can, and we want to match the output and the experience of the other bands who are playing those festivals."
