MUSIC REVIEW: Kate Tucker - Ghost of Something New EP (Noise Trade) - I'm going to tell all you manly men types with your new mustaches and hippie cologne. You would not want to leave this girl for fear she'd write a killer song which on first listen would turn you into a puddle of salt. So fair warning. Lucky for you she mixes it up a bit on her most recent EP but still delivers sultry alt country angel tinged vocals that are truly aspirational. The shining light of alt-rock maybe. You can be brave [...]

Hopefully this week's edition of Monday Music - the one weekly post on this blog that's not solely about London-based music - is early enough to please my dear cousin Georgia Harrison.

I like to think the title refers to uncontrollable, brain-bending dreams, something we all suffer from time to [...]
