Album Review: Fairchild - Burning Feet
Is all very polished, until little moments like the whistle solo breakdown of the title track shows there’s still some dorky humanity as well.

Album Review: Darlia - Candyman
Singer Nathan Day looks suitably energetically troubled, and will no doubt find an audience of similar interests and angst.

Album Review: Dave Graney - Fearful Wiggings
Sometimes in a highway servo café (Country Roads, Unwinding) or, as in The Old Docklands Wheel, perhaps a ‘60s coffee house beat poet overheard down the hall.

Album Review: My Friend The Chocolate Cake - Best Cake In Show
They’ve never sounded like they’re not enjoying each other’s company and musical tangents, even if discussing Welsh nationalism (Aberystwyth) or simply jigging in a Muckheap.

Album Review: Echo & The Bunnymen - Meteorites
The title track is one of their default sweeping vistas, while Constantinople’s Eastern ring also recalls their early ‘80s heyday.

Album Review: Wet - Wet
A near-perfect quiet anthem for the girls it speaks of and to.

Album Review: Harry Hookey - Misdiagnosed
The misdiagnosis could be in trying to find just one pigeonhole for what our man Harry Hookey does.

Album Review: Ed Kuepper - The Return Of The Mail-Order Bridegroom
The Walker Brothers’ No Regrets comes with a weary resignation, while a final Messin’ With The Kid takes The Saints’ punk angst and makes it grow up.

Live Review: Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Tift Merrit
Moments like that, Songs That She Sang In The Shower’s wry memories, and the raucous morning-after Southern rock of Super 8 somehow just all fit together to show an artist at the top of his game – whatever category you try and peg him. Phenomenal.

Album Review: Eels - The Cautionary Tales Of Mark Oliver Everett
If you’re prepared to listen to some sometimes uncomfortable home truths, you’ll probably learn something.

Album Review: Thief - Closer (Deluxe)
Of the other tracks, most are pretty generic synth dance stuff, although Broken Boy’s angled idiosyncrasies hold the interest more than most.
Reviews / Live
Live Review: Hunters & Collectors, The Panics
The bald guy still flails – if a little more gingerly these days – but it’s the ideal full stop to a celebration of the form.
