That's right ladies and gentlemen, Jarvis Cocker is back again. His second solo album is set to be released by Rough Trade on May 18th, which will more than likely be a solid album, just like his last solo album, which was like his Pulp albums, and like his performance on Harry Potter. Now, this new album has uber-producer Steve Albini running the show, so we should expect an edgier Jarvis; I'm game. Download: Jarvis Cocker - Angela [...]

Sound: As usual, frontman Finn Andrews’ vocals display a dynamic range—sometimes suave, other times aching, and occasionally building into a possessed frenzy. The music covers even more territory. From classic Brit pop to atmospheric, guitar/piano rock; from explosive aggression to delicate introspection...

Artist: Art Brut Album: Art Brut Vs Satan Label: Rough Trade Release Date: 20/04/09 Website: www.artbrut.org.uk Words by: Emma Garland Art Brut are arguably the most notorious love to hate/hate to love band around at the moment. Admittedly, I put this album on expecting not to like it, but with Pixies frontman Frank Black taking role as the producer, combined with Eddie Argos’ witty lyrics about unashamedly reading comics and stalking girls, it becomes an undeniable guilty pleasure. [...]
Only a partial Grammar-Nazi, it's with some pain that I am just going to re-post this "sic" Rough Trade / The Horrors thingy I saw I the myspace on the Internets: THE HORRORS - Primary Colours Rough Trade exclusive with a bonus mix cd by tom furse and rhys webb and if you know anything about the horrors you will know this mix is worth the admission price alone. 'primary colours' is a total revelation and demands you forget all pre conceptions of the horrors. 'primary colours', the follow up to their 2007 debut 'strange house', features [...]
MP3: Jarvis Cocker - Cunts Are Still Running the World NOTE: Today's contribution comes from the Matt Giordano, whom I just saw in the flesh about 2 weeks back. He exists? Fuck yeah! Some people are always ahead of the mass trend, and such has always been the case with Jarvis Cocker . Nary three years after he released his debut single, which you can download above, it's come to be much more relevant than it was when authored, which is quite a feet by the world [...]

I'm pleased to finally share with you my video for CFCF 's new release on Acéphale Records . The video is for the single " You Hear Colours " Read the full review here . This beautifully spaced out, balearic 7" scorcher is limited, so get on it. I want to thank Patrik over at Acéphale for letting me be a part of this release. The video was a total blast to make, especially with such a great tune to work with. CFCF is certainly a talent to keep an eye on! Enjoy [...]
It's no secret that lo-fi and noisy is all the rage with the kids these days. The rich sounds bands like The Arcade Fire, Explosions in the Sky, I'm From Barcelona, et al. seem to have fallen out of favor in lieu of the gruff, and dissonant compositions of bands like Wavves and Times New Viking (hell even Yo La Tengo is in on it). Bands are dusting off their early post-punk (copies of C86 and Flying Nun Records specifically), and gleaning influences like never before. You could chalk up Let's Wrestle into that school, but if [...]
Love is when you wake up in the morning and you no longer feel alone. Love is when you wake up in the morning and you know tomorrow will be okay; in fact, it'll be better than yesterday and better than today. Better in the sense that the inner warmth that we radiate will shine brighter and stronger than ever before. Meetings of chance happen rarely, i'd say very rarely, meeting the other 88dayer was by chance, meeting a new love was total chance, someone, somewhere, good quality balsamic is on it's way over. I miss her pixie features when [...]
Chi: Cherbourg Dove: London, U.K. Cosa: Last Chapter Of Dreaming (self-released, 2009) Perché: Armonie vocali splendide, un romanticismo mai sopra le righe, un cantato molto british, melodie che rimangono impresse facilmente: sono questi i principali ingredienti che mi hanno fatto apprezzare i Cherbourg sin dal primo ascolto. Lo scorso 2 febbraio il gruppo ha pubblicato un EP, [...]
New Music | Crystal Antlers Back to the old school with Crystal Antlers, there's a pseudo prog feel about Andrew that manages to sound not too laboured, and not too rough. On first listen it might sound quite simple but bear in mind there are six of them and all sorts of sounds will start to come out of the woodwork - try it.
I watched an interesting documentary about Rough Trade records on BBC 4 last night. Rough Trade is most famous for introducing the wonderful music of The Smiths to the world, but their roster also included such diverse acts as The Raincoats, Scritti Politti and Ivor Cutler. The show featured brief performances by these acts and others, as well as archive and new interviews with many of the label's key players, including label founder Geoff Travis and Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr. Rough Trade began as an independent record store in London just as punk rock hit the scene in [...]
