Et c'est parti pour le classement de mes trente disques préférés de l'année ! Pour chaque album, un lien vers un de mes articles ou un d'un collègue si je n'en ai pas parlé, une toute petite explication de la présence du disque dans le top en passant la souris sur la pochette et un titre en écoute dans le lecteur en bas de page. #30 Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean [...]

The Leisure Society recently played a pop-up set for Last.fm and HP at Tamesis Dock, sitting down with Last.fm to chat about their music, the recording process, and more.

Following on from last week's sold-out (and truly spectacular shows) at London's intimate St Pancras Church, Loney Dear has been named as suppport for The Leisure Society's largest headline show to date. The two acts will appear at the London Barbican theatre on December 8. The Leisure Society will collaborate with the maverick, 30-strong Heritage Orchestra to perform songs from both their albums Into The Murky Water and The Sleeper .
Following his recent string of successful UK shows, Loney Dear has announced he'll be supporting The Leisure Society at the Barbican Hall on December 8th. The Swedish legend will replace Micah P Hinson - who had to pull out due to an arm injury sustained earlier in the year. The show will see The Leisure Society collaborate with the 30-strong Heritage Orchestra to perform songs from both their albums Into The Murky Water and The Sleeper .

This is in no way relevant or timely; it is simply an amazing song. I just saw a trailer for Tyrannosaur, starring the amazing Peter Mullan, whom I would force to read Walt Whitman daily if I could, and heard snippets of a song I believed to be stupendous. So, being the modern man I [...]
Here's a new video from The Leisure Society featuring a whole load of Super 8 projections. Front man Nick Hemming said "I bought a Super 8 camera a couple of years ago, I guess as some kind of nostalgic rebellion against the digital world that we live in." His vision was brought to life by director Joseph Brett.
When an artist embarks on a solo project at a young age, the pursuit is commendable. Such ambition is shown on the full-length album by Leaves of Green, Imago. The album was created by one James Madole, a 20-year-old student at New York University. On his debut, Madole uses an infusion of vocals, guitar, ukulele, [...]
Laura Stevenson , die met haar begeleidingsband The Cans mocht openen in de Nijdrop woensdagavond, klinkt bij aanvang als een wat fragiele vrouwelijke singer-songwriter. Maar dan gooien de gitaristen en drummer alle registers open, en gaat ze er met schijnbaar gemak overheen. De krachtige stem die ze dan laat horen, imponeert door het contrast des te meer. Jammer genoeg blijkt het een kunstje : eerst rustig beginnen en dan een voldragen indierockgeluid neerpoten met forse vocale uithalen. De accordeon voegt enkele folky toetsen toe. Bijna een halfuur weet ze daarmee de aandacht van het publiek vast te houden, [...]

Words: Saam Das I can't think of a particularly interesting introduction so this will have to be a bit of a Ronseal ("does what it says on the tin") paragraph. Much like how the search of Lawd Sugar's business partner is over , so is the wait to find out ten of my favourite singles from July 2011 - the photo above hints at the winner of the Single Of The Month. Check them all out below. [...]
Folk heeft ongemerkt een vaste plaats in de popmuziek veroverd. Je hoeft echt niet meer met lange haren en geitenwollen sokken rond te lopen om hier iets mee te hebben. Gezegd moet worden dat folk dan niet al te puur...
