Album Review: Gena Rose Bruce - Mad Love
"Her smouldering vocal has all the right kinds of edginess and the live, ambient studio production gives a warm vintage feel."
Album Review: Yhan Leal - Wilderness
"Reminiscent of Jeff Buckley, pure and haunting, whispering, soaring, and his dreamy lyrics paint images of boundless freedom and unending love."
Album Review: Fraser A. Gorman - Slow Gum
"Fun, nostalgic and very listenable."
Album Review: Hilary Duff - Breathe In. Breathe Out.
"Dancey beats straight off the pop production line combine with irritatingly catchy choruses to produce a result barren of creativity."
Album Review: The Wonder - Pilot
"Draped in luxuriant guitars, soft high-register vocals and comfy, cruisy, simple bass lines (see Shadows Throw Bodies) it makes for pleasant, if not particularly challenging listening."
Album Review: Sharon Van Etten - I Don't Want To Let You Down
"Van Etten gracefully leads a four-piece band, drenched in wistful piano, sparingly deployed reverby guitars and a wonderfully grounding organ sound."
Album Review: Big Winter - Small Things
"'Small Things' is an understated and groovy breath of fresh air"
Live Review: San Cisco, Crooked Colours, Methyl Ethel
"San Cisco’s chiming guitars and infectious rhythms grant them absolute power over the sweaty, stinking mosh pit"
Album Review: Jeff Beck - Live +
"Beck is well represented as an innovator, interpreter and virtuoso"
Live Review: Alt-J, Asgeir, Mansionair
The musicianship is flawless, the harmonies sparsely beautiful and the acoustics superb. Alt-J draw you in, whisper in your ear then wash you away on an awesome wave of light and sound.
