Australian three piece Devotional (previously known by the less memorable name A Casual End Mile ) appear to be a rather sombre trio. From their melancholic debut track Mercy to their slightly unsettlingly sparse photograph, there's a far amount of wallowing going on. However, all that is forgiven once you hear the track in question, a luxuriously elegant female vocal led number, sort of Keep Shelly In Athens meets Massive Attack , using it's electronic influences to fantastic effect. When lead singer Madelaine Lucas weeps "have a mercy on me" [...]
Rock n' roll has lived an eventful life thus far. In the early years it was an adolescent, playing by the rules and mimicking blues and swing music. By the mid to late 1950s, though, it hit a rebellious stage and hardly looked back. It seems that every era of rock since has offered something musically and culturally defiant that has made parents cringe and kids go crazy. But times have changed. Rock has, for better or worse, reached middle age, and it's no longer interested exclusively in shock and awe. [...]
The man with the endless workethic who brought you 10 albums in 2010 & a banger of a follow-up with Born Again in 2011 presents OVERTIME, entirely produced by LD. After his epic 2010 run, LMNO went right back to the studio with LD creating this 11 song testament to the duo's progression, chemistry and creativity. If you thought it couldn't get any better than Push That Work and P's & Q's, the saga continues as OVERTIME proves to be one of LMNO's greatest Lp's to date!

We were just thinking that we could do with some regurgitated old time jazz, folk and blues music – and then up pops Liz Green. What exactly we are meant to do with it now we have it is anyone's guess, especially when we can get the real deal anytime we want. Manchester-based Green has been releasing music since 2007, yet this is her debut, and it starts with Hey Joe (seemingly the lack of originality runs into song titles too). It's a meander at best – it has a repetitive melody and the warm [...]

Sono dovuti passare ben quattro anni da Bad Medicine - debutto su 7" che rivelò al pubblico il suo formidabile talento - ma finalmente la cantautrice britannica Liz Green ha pronto l'esordio sulla lunga distanza. Nel più puro stile DIY l'autrice ha registrato le sue prime composizioni in camera da letto, con l'aiuto di un'apparecchiatura a dir poco rudimentale. Nonostante le limitazioni tecniche, la pura forza della sua proposta l'ha portata a farsi conoscere fra i talenti emergenti al prestigioso festival di Glastonbury, nel 2007. Sono seguiti apprezzamenti della critica - entusiasta di fronte a quella [...]
DEEP VOCAL HOUSER In the spirit of journalistic integrity I researched the biography of Simone Fedi. I do that. It turns out Simone Fedi also has a project called "Astral Manhole". Seriously. "Astral Manhole" It sounds like a stage show where slack jawed audiences watch agog as Simone demonstrates the galactic capacity of his anus. Roughly shoving household object after household object into his rectum. Magically they pass through the event horizon of his tattered colon to emerge from Mary Poppins' carpet bag covered in shit. I'd pay to watch that. However Ewan Pearson [...]
Artist Recordings are a refreshing label with a philosphy of being the first 'revolutionary record label of a new generation of free electronic music.' They've already released amazing liquid drum and bass tracks from some big producers including Genetic Bros and Grafix. If you like free music I suggest taking a look. Grafix - Devotion
Santana : Love, Devotion, and Surrender [ purchase ] We've had a lot of Christian music this week, so I thought I'd offer up something a little more universal by Latin-jazz-rock-fusion guitarist Carlos Santana. In the years before this release, he'd been making quite a musical splash, first in late-60s San Francisco, then at Woodstock (his blazing debut), and then worldwide. But around 1973 his music took a definite turn towards jazz fusion, a blend of jazz, funk, R&B, and rock heavily dosed with complicated time signatures. Miles [...]
Hailing from Tuscany, Simone Fedi is well known for his deep yet aggressive sound, a mix of funk, italo disco, house and synth pop made mostly with vintage analog synths. For his third release "Bitter Devotion" on Eskimo Recordings, Simone Fedi joined forces with a mysterious singer named Lola Rent. The single will be released on October 10th, backed with remixes by the likes of Ewan Pearson and Welcome Stranger, aka Thomas Bullock of Rub 'n' Tug fame. Until then, you can preview the title track below. A bittersweet gem. [...]

![[Rock] Chris Devotion & The Expectations – A Modest Refusal](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3609087_lg.jpg)
Up-and-budding rock bands these days are a dime a dozen, but looking to break out of this shell of obscurity and shattered dreams is a quartet of rockers out of Glasgow that go by the name of Chris Devotion & The Expectations . Their debut single "I Need Your Touch" was a catchy little track that most (who am I kidding, all) of you probably haven't heard, but it didn't do much to propel the band into notoriety. Looking to try again, the band has given us a charming little number called "A Modest Refusal." With a [...]
This tune was a massive club hit on both side of the Atlantic in 1991 for production team Nomad . Produced by Damon Rochefort and feature MC Mikee Freedom it was actually the first tune that band member Steve McCutcheon ever wrote. Vocals were supplied by Sharon D. Clarke who also sang on FPI Project's classic "Back To My Roots". Rocherfort went on to produce for the like of Kim Wilde and Michelle Gayle, while McCutcheon has a list of credits as long as your arm with the likes [...]
