Northcote's eponymous third record is not so much an album as a single theme and variations. It's an appealing theme, to be sure, filled with jangly guitar and confident tenor voices, and bedecked with the brass riffage so fashionable among this decade's indie-folk records. So perhaps the band can be forgiven for neglecting the 'variation' part of the equation. It's records like these, relying on the mainstream staples of thumping beats and 'wooah'-ing backing vocals, that make one question the meaning of the word "indie". Because when it comes to [...]

In una interessantissima recente intervista al Guardian, Laura Marling parla del suo trasferimento a Los Angeles e di come abbia scoperto un fatto singolare, cioè che Americans – they're just a lot more poetic. I don't know whether I've sort of fallen out of love with English charm, the reservedness of it… . Un altro passo in avanti per la giovanissima inglese, che con questo arriva a quota quattro album a soli 23 anni: un grande passo in self-confidence e in saggezza sull’amore e tutto ciò che ci gira attorno. Come al solito, Laura [...]

Given the name it was never in any doubt that this was anything other than an Irish band. It's a phrase I haven’t heard since college mind you. The trio responsible for the language archaeology come from Lurgan, Co. Armagh and features siblings Rachel and Jonny Toman and bandleader Stevie Scullion. They’ve been releasing records for over 9 years now and this is from one of their earlier releases. ‘Life Rolls On’ has the banjo and the fragile vocals so comparisons with Sufjan Stevens are inevitable (there are hints of the Harvest Ministers too) but there is enough personality to [...]

Sheen 's official debut single doozies along like one of those really pleasant days you sometimes have. "I bought a nice takeaway coffee and walked across the Heath in the morning sun; then I poked around a few bookshops before meeting a few friends for some drinks and a catch-up. Later I just strolled around and took some photographs, then took the train home and watched the sunset. It was really lovely." This song is really lovely.
