The Big Sleep: Nature Experiments

May 16, 2:37am Bowlegs Music Review

The first chord on The Big Sleep's third album is knocked about longer than the band's hiatus from the world: a world which had bestowed them rave notices since their inception in the early 2000s. The chord, you feel, drains some colour out of the song - #1 - itself. But has the hiatus drained the colour out of The Big Sleep? #1 has echoes of Thurston Moore's histrionics, when he finally rips his vocals to shreds on 1988's Hey Joni . Their previous records had seen The Big Sleep shepherded with [...]

French Kissing – Wild Woman / Love Is For

May 15, 9:18am Some Of It Was True!

Dear summer: listen up, and listen well. French Kissing have released (via Croque Macadam ) a pair of giddy, slacker-pop gems in the shape of double-A side Wild Woman / Love Is For . It's a surf-tinged record crying out for rolled-up tee shirts, Ambre Solaire, louche behaviour at late-evening barbecues and sunset Saturday joints in the park. It's crying out for all of these things, but we can't do them because you won't arrive. Please hurry up. Thanks, yours sincerely, Some Of It Was True! x

QM Premiere: Races – Behind The Scenes of "Big Broom"

Mar 9, 9:30am Quit Mumbling

We've been keeping close tabs on Races ever since that snarling bass line in "Big Broom" caught our attention. Since then the group has given us a phenomenal EP (with a personal favorite track "All For You") , a video proving that creepy can be fun , and a taste of their upcoming batch of songs with "LIES" . To say that they've been on a hot streak would be an understatement. The group was kind enough to have us on the set of their "Big Broom" video to let us get [...]

Young Man - Fate

Mar 6, 4:39pm ANDTHATSHOWITSDONE

Youtube cover star turned original musician (think Indie Justin Bieber?) Colin Caulfield will release his 3rd album as Young Man. Although he's been touring with a full band for over a year now, Young man was always Caulfield's solo venture in the studio. The new album, Vol 1 is Young Man's first full band project and the rhythm section is a welcome addition. On his first two releases moments of bliss floated in and out of focus, but the etheral wanderings tended to drag on past their welcome. Anchoring Caulfield's knack for breezy melodies into a more committed form, Vol [...]

RACES – Lies

Mar 1, 1:59pm Rock Insider

Obviously I'm a little biased when it comes to Los Angeles based sextet RACES . Our very own JAXART Records released their debut 7 inch last April (still a few copies left here ). Since then, RACES have been slowly building a following in Southern California. They've toured part of the U.S. with El Ten Eleven, released a video for their debut single "Big Broom" on RollingStone.com ( Watch ), and even dropped in on Daytrotter . The band are now gearing up for SXSW leading in [...]
