Jules – Devil Blues on the Rock (Jamendo) I like the idea of modern Blues, especially when it’s emerging from the CC world. Call me a cynic, or just a miserable bastard, but there’s never enough morbid, grinding, despairing music around when you need it and even if the old Delta […]

Jay Slim – The High Life (Just Plain Sound) Mo’ mo’ Hip Hop, which should come as about as much of a surprise on this blog as a corrupt MP resigning from Parliament. Bu-ut on a slightly more novel tip there’s actually a Rapper here as opposed to the usual collection […]
The Wind Whistles – Animals Are People Too (Aaahh Records) Another release here from those prolific purveyors of Indie Folk, Aaahh Records who, as well as being home to the habitually excellent Julia Kotowski (also known as Entertainment for the Braindead) play host to Canadian strummers ‘The Wind Whistles’. Who, for […]
The Art Punk Band – Zeno And The Happy Cats (Jamendo) A very definite example of an aquired taste today in the form of a short album release from American trio The Art Punk Band, who appear to have thrown themselves back in time a few decades to an era when […]
Annie.R – Megalo (Jamendo) A dose of blunt Pop today, the likes of which I habitually avoid for reasons unknown to even me given that, all things considered, I’ve nothing in particular against the music itself. Annie.R, who loses points by default for having the full stop there, is a songstress […]
Grüün – Kraut-Hop (iD.EOLOGY) It’s always a half arsed sort of job when I review foreign language Hip Hop. Sure, I can cover the music well enough, which to me is the generally the main point anyway, but I always feel a dash of discomfort when I start pontificating upon the […]
Despedidos Ska – Despedidos Ska (Jamendo) Summer = Ska Season. It’s a well known fact that. Sure, at this precise moment in time I can’t think of a single other genre more suited to Summer than Ska, although admitedly I’m not thinking very hard at all, but the point stands. Sun […]
Mr Busalot – Test Screening of The Story Of Mr Busalot (Jamendo) It’s not often that Jamendo turns up something that really counts as odd. Despite the neverending attempts of a legion of bedroom producers to stand out from the crowd by virtue of creating ever more obscure and unlistenable beats […]
Damscray – Los Animales EP (Humanworkshop) Well, it’s been in the pipeline for a while and a few days ago it emerged into the light of day, a brand spanking new release from Damscray, that Russian purveyor of experimentally. dark/intriguing Trip Hop. Or soundscapes. Or something.
Flowerheads – Demo 2008 (Jamendo) Ah 2008, I remember it so well, you could leave your doors open and no one would burgle you, children knew their place and the labouring classes always doffed their hats when you passed them on the street. Halcyon days. And apparently a Surf Rock band released a demo album […]
