Album Review: The Black Angels - Indigo Meadow
It’s 45 minutes of reverie and it’s easy to become completely enthralled. A real trip.

Album Review: Wavves - Afraid Of Heights
You can’t deny that it’s really catchy and easy to listen to, but it does make you wonder, four albums down, surely Williams must be running out of things to whine about.

Album Review: British India - Controller
They know what works for them, they do it well and they won’t change for anyone. That’s all there is to it.

Album Review: Tara Simmons - It’s Not Like We’re Trying To Move Mountains
Really well thought-out, sophisticated synth pop that actually makes you feel something.

Album Review: Spazzys - Dumb Is Forever
Here’s hoping there’s not such a long break between Dumb Is Forever and album number three.

Album Review: Madness - Oui Oui, Si, Si, Ja, Ja, Da Da
Their latest release is still brimming with bouncy, skankin’ good times, but without a real standout track in sight it might be time to start celebrating the back catalogue… again.

Album Review: City Riots - Sea Of Bright Lights
Sea Of Bright Lights has really proven what these four Adelaide boys are capable of; they’ve fine-tuned their sound and the result is a hook-laden, melodious album that’s pretty damn impressive.

Album Review: Gypsy & The Cat - The Late Blue
Expect to hear The Late Blue on high rotation on sunny summer afternoons.

Album Review: The Sheepdogs - The Sheepdogs
All things considered, it’s a good album and starts off so well, it’s just a shame that it peters out toward the end.
