Album Review: Maids - Maids
Death To Computer really showcases their knack for cracking rock melodies.

Album Review: Sable - Hypercolour
While Crush’s melody line is ultra-repetitive, its rapid, oriental-infused tones are a nice touch.

Album Review: Martin Solveig & Laidback Luke - Blow (New Remixes)
However Blow shouldn’t make a lasting impression, as the duo merely deliver a pale impression of LMFAO, without their pop smarts.

Album Review: Hayden Calnin - Oh, Hunter
Ebbing and flowing in great warm rushes, this release solidifies the slightly mournful, delicate brand of songwriting for which Calnin is becoming known.

Album Review: Palace Of The King - Moon & Mountain
"Each song blends into the next, drawing heavily from the ‘70s not only from traditional rock but also through the soul and funk elements."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Syndrome - Colourful Cows
"This Belgian outfit’s dark, electro-rock offering is in a similar vein to Marilyn Manson, notably through their nightmarish, over-the-top cabaret aesthetic."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Slip On Stereo - So Long Gravity
"Despite some impressively sultry vocals, the band’s funkiness feels so controlled and sanitised that it detracts from their genuineness."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Pigeon - Settle In
"These catchy melodies will ensure an easy, enjoyable listen, in which classic pop structures meet contemporary production tastes."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Cool Drinks - Cool Drinks
"Its subtle, emotionally evocative tone proves a memorable highlight amongst these heavily nostalgic tracks."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Snakadaktal - The Sun II
"The remixes on this EP actually craft more interesting songs out of Snakadaktal’s inoffensive, pretty tunes, taking their dreamy pop sensibilities to new levels and really enhance their warmly-timbred vocals."
Reviews / Live
Live Review: Mount Kimbie, Charles Murdoch
Towards the end of their long set, they really crank up the strobe-light madness and ear-wrecking noise, ensuring the ecstatic crowd leaves wholly satisfied.

Album Review: Jackie Onassis - Juliette
Highlights include gentle (yet bold) opener Said And Done and the expressive Back Home Again, with its rhythmic drum patterns and emotive backing vocals.
