Track: Anna Von Hausswolff – The Truth, The Glow, The Fall
Gothenburg singer-songwriter Anna Von Hausswolff is on the verge of releasing her now album, Dead Magic,, on March 2nd via City Slang. It’s an intense body of work, its five songs extending over 47 minutes and 20 seconds (y’know, roughly), were composed in her hometown in 2016 and recorded the following year in Denmark. The …
See: Son Lux reveal new video for track ‘Slowly’
Taken from their forthcoming fifth album ‘Brighter Wounds’, out on February 9th on City Slang, Son Lux have shared a second track called ‘Slowly’. It’s a delicate, slightly off-kilter track where synths and drums seems to move in different orbits, and Ryan Lott’s feathery, beautiful but fragile vocal seems to half draw things together but …
Album Review: Sir Was – Digging A Tunnel
That this album by Joel Wastberg AKA sir Was is his debut album as a solo artist is almost inconceivable, accomplished that it is.His background as a multi-instrumentalist gun for hire for the likes of José Gonzalez (both in solo guise and as a member of Junip) appears to have been a catalyst to finally …
Track: Gold Panda reveals John Roberts remix of Chiba Nights
If you enjoyed Good Luck and Do your best, Gold Panda’s recent album, as much as we did on its release earlier in the year from City Slang, then he’s just revealed an extra little treat in the shape of a remix of the standout track Chiba Nights, reworked by US producer John Roberts. “I’m …
Album Review: Gold Panda – Good Luck and Do Your Best
Gold Panda’s first album, ‘Lucky Shiner’, is – to me – one of the electronic albums of recent years. I credit it (along with Mount Kimbie’s ‘Crooks & Lovers’ and Baths’ ‘Cerulean’) with completely re-shaping my perspective on electronic music. As a long-time lover of drum n’ bass and the likes of Aphex Twin, Boards …
See: Gold Panda releases new video for “Chiba Nights”
Taken from his new album ‘Good Luck and do your best’, which dropped last week via City Slang, Gold Panda has released a new video for standout track ‘Chiba Nights’. It’s this Eastern inspired, glitchy piece of electronica that has this repeating melodic hook that speaks of solitude and wonder all at once. The visuals …
Track: Tindersticks – We Are Dreamers
2013 was something of an anniversary for notoriously gloomy indie rockers Tindersticks, turning 21 years old and releasing their Across Six Leap Years album. Doesn’t look like they’ve any intention of stopping there though, announcing a new album, their tenth. Titled The Waiting Room and out on Jamuary 22nd next year via City Slang, the …
Live Review: Calexico – Albert Hall, Manchester – 30th April 2015
Calexico made a welcome return to the UK after a couple of years’ absence in support of their brilliant new album – Edge of The Sun – and we were there to see them at Manchester’s Albert Hall. This was only one of three British gigs for Calexico so the venue was packed to the gills with people of …
Album Review: Wye Oak – Shriek
So what do I know about Wye Oak? Well, I know Jenn Wasner has one of those voices you want to hear sing just about anything. It’s a dark and breathy kind of voice. It’s the kind of voice you want to crawl into and take a nap in. There’s an all-knowing maturity in her …
