If the stars had been ever so slightly realigned, you do wonder if Sons & Daughters , who announced their break-up on November 2, might have enjoyed the level of mainstream popularity that came the way of their Glasgow peers and Domino label mates Franz Ferdinand. Take Me Out will forever be an instantly identifiable moment in modern pop, but the single version of Johnny Cash, also released in 2004, and re-recorded from Sons & Daughters' gratifyingly rough 'n' ready debut album Love The Cup, is [...]

Eesh, I'm having a serious cringe at that blog title, but hey, it's late at night and my brain is grinding. Tonight is Burns Night , when people all over the world celebrate the life and poetry of late, poet Robert Burns. I've used it as an excuse to post up some songs from some great Scottish musicians and artists. I put a posts out through the Gigantic Facebook and Twitter accounts to get people to suggest their favourite artists. The response has been amazing, and when you start to list all [...]
Emperor Machine (aka Andy Meecham) has something of a Midas touch when it comes to remixing, everything he touches turns into gold. The Shout Out Out Out Out and The Rapture reworks stand out from the rest and his latest work is no less impressive, continuing with this very high standard. He has reworked 'Orion' into a pretty relentless 11 [...]
Well, 2011. You were quite the year! So much so that I’ve only been able to recover enough to think about you a full week into 2012. Crazy, huh? New jobs, lots of change, oodles of shenanigans, and yes, lots of good music. So much so, that I undoubtedly missed vast quantities of things that [...]

One of the albums I reviewed for June's edition was Sons & Daughters' Mirror Mirror ... "Had to laugh. They've stripped back their sound by recording to 16-track. Only 16 huh?

Sons & Daughters return on June 13th with Mirror Mirror on Domino. Big whoop right? That's what I thought when I picked up a review copy at Buzz. I last listened to them when I bought Dance Me In on red 7" partaking in the vinyl vogue of the mid-noughties. Yet it took one listen convinced me that this could reside in a few Best Of lists come December. Keith McIvor from Optimo is on production duties and strips back their sound to lean post-punk with a sprinkling of [...]
