Riassumiamo brevemente: lo scorso gennaio il manager Brian Message si lasciava scappare che i Radiohead avevano cominciato a far circolare le idee per un album. A marzo poi uno dei membri della band, Ed O'Brien, ha affermato che era iniziata la fase di scrittura di nuovo materiale. Oggi arriva un'ulteriore buona novella per quanti aspettano il successore di "In Rainbows": Gigwise rilancia le dichiarazioni del bassista Colin Greenwood (in foto), il quale ha ammesso ai microfoni della BBC che il percorso sta andando avanti e il gruppo ha messo piede [...]

LIVE: Crystal Stilts-The Shop Assistants @ Windmill, Brixton-13/02/09 words: Hazel Sheffield originally scribed for gigwise Brooklyn has been at the centre of a garage-pop revival of late, born of stripped-back diy-rock that finds its feet somewhere between the dreampop of C86 cohorts The Shop Assistants and lo-fi post-punk outfit Young Marble Giants. Key players on the scene include Cause Co-motion, Vivian Girls, and tonight's Windmill headliners, Crystal Stilts. First up [...]
A C C O M P A N Y M E FEVER RAY words: Hazel Sheffield originally scribed for gigwise Karin Dreijer is no stranger to success. As one sibling half of The Knife, the thirty-three year old Swede has released three internationally acclaimed albums, won a string of Grammis (the Swedish equivalent of the Grammys), and been awarded numerous album of the year accolades (including Gigwise) for 2006's 'Silent Shout'. While previous work sans brother Olof has included [...]
M E C H A N I S M S WE HAVE BAND words: Hazel Sheffield originally scribed for gigwise photos: Carsten Windhorst Times are hard in the music business. With the high street stripped of music stores, distributors holding CDs to ransom, and majors issuing pay-offs and lay-offs faster than you can flip a vinyl, the only thing you won't find a shortage of is the sob stories of the suddenly jobless. But while most [...]
H Y P E - P O W E R ALBUM: Diplo - Decent Work For Decent Pay: Selected Works Vol. 1 words: Jamie Milton originally scribed for gigwise.com Remixes don't float everybody's boat. But Diplo, who specialises in such, has changed the way most of us tackle them, solely because he doesn't murder the original with pointless repetition. Unaware of the name? Look upon hypemachine or another blog-centric site and you'll [...]

Gigwise vuelve a las andadas y presenta las que considera las 40 portadas más feas del 2008. En esta ocasión diré que disiento profundamente en algunas de sus opiniones. Es el caso, por ejemplo, del último disco de Kings Of Leon cuya portada me parece interesante , también la de Sun Kil Moon o la de Santogold , que es fea pero mola. Coincido con la de The Kooks , la de The Ting Tings , todas las de metal, y especialmente la de Vanilla Ice , [...]
"maddening backing vocals alongside jazz-hands piano, without the showing off" ALBUM: Fireworks Night - A Mirror, A Ghost words: Jamie Milton originally scribed for gigwise It's awfully difficult to gain a valid judgement on an album that sweeps you so far away from reality from the moment you vulnerably give it access to your eardrums. Old-fashioned but true to its gorgeously arranged, hand-made packaging, 'A Mirror, A Ghost' sees Fireworks Night becoming an authentic act, full of surprises for those who thought [...]

The Killers are reportedly in the midst of finishing up recording their third, yet-untitled, album set for release in November. According to Gigwise , a source close to the band's record label, Island Records , say Brandon Flowers and Co. are currently in their Las Vegas studio wrapping-up recording the follow-up to 2006's ' Sam's Town '. Said to be producing the album is Stuart Price , who previously remixed the band's debut album song ' Mr. Brightside '. The Killers previewed two new tracks, 'Spaceman' and 'Neon Tiger', from the forthcoming [...]
LIVE - Lightspeed Champion - Brighton Concorde - 23rd July words: Jamie Milton photo from Veronika Moore/Gigwise Brighton's concorde venue holds a lot of history for me. I witnessed my first ever non-arena/stadium gig there in 2006 when I went to see the Paddingtons. As a little pubescent cub(?), it was a joy to behold - getting kissed by the guitarist whilst buying a t-shirt was, at the time, one of the best things to ever happen to me. My most recent adventure down Madeira Drive [...]
Here's a taste of what was selected: Ben Arthur - Edible Darling Genesis - Nursery Cryme Bjork - Volta View all the rest here. MP3: Bjork - Earth Intruders
Why - The Hollows.mp3 Why? is an eccentric band from Oakland, California with a sound that has eloquently been described as "jangle-rap, indie pop 'n' roll" ( anticon ) and "psychedelic, guitar-pop, folk-hop" (tomlab). Surprisingly the band carves out this niche genre better than Beatrix Kiddo with a Hattori Hanz?. The lyrics of this album are, in my opinion, superb. Metaphors and similes run rampant amongst the dense orchestration which is sporadic and simply eloquent at the same time. Just when you think [...]
