Stairs to Korea is - Will Vaughan - based in London, England producing heartfelt experimental indie-pop. Stairs to Korea I could waffle for hours about Will Vaughan , but I am unsure that it would add much to the jot of the experience of a solo artist who has a sound which explains it's own roots. website That said, I couldn't leave it there. Stairs to Korea is a [...]

Referring to Body in the Thames ' vast reworking of 'Paul, Is This How You Wanted It?' - a highlight from Stairs To Korea 's excellent Small Fractures EP - as a "remix" is almost enough to make me feel guilty. Rarely has the term done such injustice to a track as it manages here.

These are only momentary states [...]

In the most unlikely turn of events since The Pop Cop founded MAP, these two forces are about to overlap. Our Estonian counterparts Popop selected a singer called Malcolm Lincoln for December's MAP , and last [...]
