Album Review: Idlewild – Interview Music
Idlewild explore variations on a dream with kaleidoscopic new album Interview Music. When Idlewild returned from a five-year break in 2015 with their anthemic album Everything Ever Written, it felt like reuniting with an old friend – as soon as you’re back in their presence for five minutes, it’s like you’ve never been separated. It …

Album Review: Craig Finn – I Need a New War
Craig Finn’s solo career has been running parallel to the Hold Steady quite nicely over the last few years, with him being able to take a more introspective musical approach as opposed to the amped up bar band rock and roll of his band. Lyrically it’s much more difficult to find the line between what …
Not Forgotten: Ian Hunter – You’re Never Alone With a Schizophrenic
While Ian Hunter’s self-titled solo debut was met with enthusiasm, the increasingly muted reception that met his next two albums must have been disappointing for the former Mott the Hoople frontman. Reconnecting with regular collaborator and general guitar genius Mick Ronson, while also engaging the services of three members of the E Street Band, two …
Album Review: Marvin Gaye – You’re the Man
In case you were wondering, You’re the Man is a double album’s worth of prime period Marvin Gaye, one of the few Tamla Motown artists that could remotely hold a candle to his label mate Stevie Wonder over the course of an album in the early 70s. From crooner, to both solo star and duet …

Album Review: Ex Hex – It’s Real
Ex Hex defeat the curse of second album disappointment by bringing us more ripping power pop on It’s Real. I’m not going to lie: I’m a few days late to the review party for Ex Hex’s new album It’s Real (out now on Merge). So, following my initial write-up, I read some other reviews from …
Say Psych: Album Premiere: Hurricane Heart Attacks – S/T
BSM have been champions of lesser known psychedelic gems for many years now and so it is a real privilege to bring you the premiere of the full album stream of Buenos Aires’ based Hurricane Heart Attacks who we’ve been a fan of for many years. We caught up with Jota Humada of the band …
Say Psych: Album Review: Los Mundos – Calor Central
Los Mundos slithers out of Monterrey, Mexico like a psychedelic serpent ready to draw blood. Undulating along riff-heavy guitar lines and fuzzed-out bass, Luis Angel Martinez and Alejandro Elizondo cut a path through psychedelia that pulls from sources as diverse as the Beach Boys, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and horror legend H.P. Lovecraft, creator of …
