NEW ALBUMS
Possible favourite album of the year? – Bill Fay’s “Life Is People”
I’m not sure if this view will hold until the year’s end but it’s looking very likely that it will. The album titled above has certainly been on the CD player and latterly on the record deck a record number of times in the last month. I only know what I know about Bill Fay [...]

MOGWAI -’Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will’

On some of the tracks here they don’t take any prisoners, but the band do not lack subtlety either, as the opener White Noise shows. Once you get to track 5, San Pedro however, you are won over (or perhaps you have to submit?) to a band [...]
R.E.M. – ‘Collapse Into Now’

ELBOW – ‘Build A Rocket Boys’
Follow up album to the award winning Seldom Seen Kid. Basically, if you liked that you’ll like this too. To me, lacks the drama and excitement of the former, but the sound is still there and the songs are still top notch.
