Track: Mew – Satellites, plus album/tour news
Welcome back Mew. It seemed like the Danish art-poppers, aka Copenhagen quartet Jonas Bjerre Bo Madsen Silas Graae Johan Wohlert might have left us after going on a worryingly long haitus following 2009’s ‘No More Stories Are Told Today, I’m Sorry They Washed Away // No More Stories, The World is Grey, I’m Tired, Let’s …
Track: OOFJ release the ethereal electro-indie of I Forgive You
Listening to OOFJ makes me want to slip into a silk paisley dressing gown, light up a pipe and watch some burlesque. And in this, ‘I Forgive You’, the third single from this eclectic duo, they introduce a sense of epic foreboding into the sensuous delight, accentuated by a prowling, insistent bass drone that installs a …

Track: Cedie Janson – “Light Curve”
There’s something mesmerising about this new release from Brisbane’s Cedie Janson – layers upon layers of complex percussive beats with a bubbling bass and a distant voice massage your ears. It is pure electronica – maybe not my usual listening preference – but very nicely done and impressively atmospheric:This track is off Janson’s debut EP cassette due …
Feature: New Music For The New Year – Albums To Look Forward To In 2015
I know, I know. This should be my favorite albums of 2014, not albums I’m looking forward to in 2015. As much as I love the favorite lists, and as satisfying as it is once I’m done with making my own and sharing it with the world, I have to admit it’s quite a daunting …
