Album Review: Bastian's Happy Flight - Heart/Works
Not as obviously pisstaking and one trick as Donny Benet, but a lot may depend on how seriously you regard Hall &/or Oates.

Her voice still feels and aches, and draws you in. Just classy.

Said telly song – What You Came Here For – is the shiny end of their oeuvre, but work through to My Ghost to find the band’s delicate face.

Album Review: Don Walker - Hully Gully

Album Review: Died Pretty - Lost Reissue
Perhaps aptly, Lost is also about what’s not there, but now is. As their distributor procrastinated over its release through 1988, the band finally found the right way into a crowd favourite.

Album Review: Cash Savage And The Last Drinks The Hypnotiser
The real business here is the almost hymnal ache of I’m In Love – the banjo just a pluck underneath, and a mourning trumpet emphasising the arch in her back, and the fall she knows almost seems inevitable.
