Alright The Captain | Conversational Skills for the Socially Anxious Words by Mark Robinson The superbly titled (and appropriately named) new EP/album/mathrockart collage by Derby trio Alright the Captain is nothing short of ridiculous. Conversational Skills for the Socially Anxious is a perfect encapsulation of the band’s relentless touring schedule, with the album recorded live to give an accurate representation of the ferocious sound. Let’s get the cliché’s done and dusted; if you enjoy Primus/Oceansize or even Rush, you will [...]

The Spills | Spooky Roller Disco Words by Benjamin Shaw Living in London and enjoying a lengthy career in the NHS, it is fair to say that I am mostly fucking miserable. There are a few perks, obviously - the long hours, fluorescent lighting, MRSA - but there are only so many complimentary painkillers you can take before the vomiting gets more annoying than the headaches. So, for the past few months, Wakefield's The Spills have been my go-to painkiller. Having had loser-rockers Runaround [...]

There's something slightly magical about The Mariner's Children . Something within both their music and the way they present themselves that makes it seem as if they come from another time or place. The music, too, is wonderful. Dark but euphoric alt-folk that rumbles along, always on the verge of suddenly taking you somewhere entirely unexpected. Latest EP Sycamore was in-part inspired by the writing of Cormac McCarthy and his plaintive somberness is present throughout. The London/Brighton collective have recently released this great video [...]
![Empire Of The Sun – Alive (Zedd Remix) [PREVIEW]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4943999_lg.jpg)
Anton Zaslavski, better known as Zedd , has established himself as one of the most talented producers in EDM. The German talent gained recognition by doing official remixes for Skrillex and Lady Gaga , and since then has only received increasing amounts of praise from other artists. Lately, every song Zedd has been putting out has been nothing short of excellent. Releases like "Clarity" and "Spectrum" have been two of the most impacting songs in dance music. A few days ago, Zedd gave us a quick look at his newest release. He has previewed [...]

Über-cool label Kissability continues along its charmingly amiable path with a breezy new single; but all is not quite how it first appears... More a dreamy ode to the sense of love-fueled longing that can creep in on even the brightest of days, than an outright blast of carefree summer lovin', Alleyways is the new single from Swansea-based quartet The Adelines . Released on May 6, Alleyways comes backed by another new track, Park The Car. Jennie Morris's honeyed, alluring vocals are undoubtedly the star here. They forge a path through [...]

Words by Matt Yau It’s been three years now since the release of the Spanish duo’s debut album and their shimmering sounds still shine with splendour. ‘ Remembering Better Times ’ is the third single from their LP, Hope Only Brings Pain , and also the albums opening track. Layer by layer, this wistful track builds patiently; creating the kind of atmospheric swelling that could make it a movie soundtrack. For similar reasons, it’s a wonderful album opener too; a mood-setter for the rest of the LP. As a [...]

Words by Mark Robinson The Lieblings hail from Helsinki, Finland, which is all the details I have available on them. Luckily a lot can be said for "It's All Gonna Fall", which is quite simply the finest two minutes of fuzz-pop to be heard in 2013 so far. The buzz-saw fuzz of the rhythm guitars have been pulled straight out of the early 902s, while the lead guitar and bass connect together like a homage to the best of 802s indie. Including memorable melodies and a simple lyrical setup; [...]

Words by Chris Fear Grunge is grumbling into life once more. The Dead Heads are an Australian five-piece who are grabbing the genre by the scruff of it’s plaid shirted neck and shaking it back into being. Dripping in reverb and awash with the growling drawl of distorted guitars, ‘ When I’m Dead ’ captures all the feverish intensity of 90’s grunge but fuses it with the best bits of garage and stoner rock in a musically eclectic storm of influences. Elements of shoegaze, pop and punk blend together pretty effortlessly here, [...]

Words by Keya Muk There's something undeniably intriguing about music made by married couples. It's like you get your own private insight into someone else's relationship...whether it has chemistry that's shrouded in mystery like the early White Stripes releases or like Fleetwood Mac who just kept it raw, honest and deliciously messy; the music always ends up being evocative of the relationship and it's current state. Jesse and Sarah Atchinson a.k.a The Manticores must be in marital bliss then because they have managed to keep the vibe casually cool on [...]
