Beck: Modern Guilt

It feels like I’ve been anticipating this album for all of forever. I have a massive crush on this man, and not just because he’s pretty. It’s because he never disappoints, even after nine studio albums spanning fourteen years, Beck’s tenth album, Modern Guilt, is superb, and while he has described it as, “the most [...]

The Rascals - Rascalize

Well it’s set to be released internationally tomorrow, but The Rascals’ Rascalize was leaked about a month ago and it’s been oozing all over the place ever since. Not that that’s such a terrible thing (ok, maybe for Deltasonic Records it is), because I really do enjoy it, although I’m not so sure I should [...]

Love is All Do Covers

Following on from the two-and-a-half-years-late ‘Nine Times That Same Song’ remix album (previously profiled here), Swedish lo-fi rockers Love is All continue to dribble out small tasters in the lead-up to the still unannounced autumn (our spring) release of their second album. This time through they handed out a bunch of self-recorded CDRs at some [...]

Ex-DFA79 frontman, Sebastien Grainger, has been quietly active of late.

It features four tracks: Epilogue (Somewhere Over The Hobo), Ways To Come Home [...]

Yes, the Sigur Rós Album is Awesome

Ok so the new Sigur Rós album, Me› Su› í Eyrum Vi› Spilum Endalaust (With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly), is good. In fact, it’s amazing, my favourite album of theirs to date, and totally makes me wish I’d bought a ticket to their Sydney Splendour sideshow. Hey… I think my little [...]

Foals Remixed by Loud Pipes

I honestly don’t know what’s going on in this picture. I mean, I thought I got it: you put “let me show you my,” and “horseballs,” into a sentence and present it to a certain demographic, and you’ll have guaranteed laughs, or at the very least a silent appreciation of your superior homograph-dependent comedic skills.
