JACK CHESHIRE is a voyage in the best traditions of a very British strain of pastorally inflected psychedelia who, by some as-yet unexplained quirk of the space-time continuum, isn’t as yet a leading household name for lovers of beautiful and mysterious, graceful rock; but then, if we investigate some of the theories underpinning his cracking …

NEWLY signed to the ace Full Time Hobby, where they’ll find themselves grazing amongst the likes of Tunng, The Besnard Lakes and Dana Gavanski, Pale Blue Eyes are a young electro-modernist guitar trio from the South Devon riverside town of Totnes. Think a castle, farmers’ markets and one of the best record shops in the …

WITH six of the best ready for your delectation out now in the shape of their EP, Since The Dog Died, and a British headline tour including a hometown show at Manchester’s Academy 2 mere days away, really, it’s fair to say that anthemic Mancunian indie rockers should be donning shades, for the future is …

CHESHIRE shoegazers turned Creation dub pop pioneers turned the nation’s sweethearts on the back of that runaway, never-prise-it-off your-radio hit, The Boo Radleys seemingly vanished forever into the annals of memory after one last, cruelly ignored album, Kingsize, as British guitar pop entered the downswing of the late Nineties; we would, we thought, never see …

And here’s the first release of this new partnership: the bright, breezy pop of “Flames”, completely showcasing Martin’s way with a …

WELL that came pretty much out of nowhere, with only a two-week lead-in; Wayne Coyne and his merrie band of Oklahoman astral explorers The Flaming Lips, are releasing an album of Nick Cave covers, Where the Viaduct Looms, tomorrow; with vocals and instrumentation by 14-year-old Nell Smith and Dave Fridmann, of course, working his sonic magic from …

BRIGHTON’S DITZ, who, on more than one occasion this year we’ve found the overwhelming urge to catapult into the perspiring throng to, only to find our living rooms sadly lacking in the requisite, adoring crowd, have this very morn shared a vid for a new track, “The Warden”, which, like last month’s roarer “Ded Würst”, …

IT’S THAT time of year when those of us who spill ink about music begin to look forward; the old year nearly done and captured and bottled barring end-of-year lists to write, and a whole new exciting calendar ahead. It’s also the time when we begin to apply our minds in the occasionally foolish errand …

DIAMONDTOWN come springing outta the fertile underground scene of Nova Scotia, where the scene has something of an Elephant 6 thing goin’ on, members freely interchanging and shifting between the various bands and strands of musical discourse under examination up there. The band began as a duo, with members KC Spidle and Evan Cardwell, together …
