So then, it was great to find out that, not only was Mr Pryor releasing a solo album, but also that it was being released in the UK [...]

La Roux , the original blog-siren is back with a 'sexier' album set for May. The fair-haired quiffster behind internet hits "Bulletproof" and "In For The Kill" will follow up her self-titled effort from way back in 2009. Elly Jackson says: "A lot of music that's quite sexual is aggressive, but the music itself doesn't sound sexy - it's more people shouting, 'Look at my bum! Look!' I'm not turned on by it, I'm terrified." But she has promised that the album will be, "a lot cheekier". All of this excites us, at the same [...]

At the beginning of April, we brought you our favourite albums of the first three months of the year . Terrifyingly, we're now halfway through 2011 and it's time to reveal the records we've most enjoyed in the year's second quarter. These are picked by our editors and it's a bit of a mixed bunch - there's one or two albums here you won't have been able to avoid, many that we've already reviewed, and a few that have slipped under the radar. Here's 11 for the second quarter of '11. [...]

I've been curious for a while about when kraut-rock disciples Led Er Est would unleash another throbbing blast of darkness on my world, and I'm happy to say - right now. "Lonesome XOXO" feels like the soundtrack to a Dario Argento film set in space. It's one part snaky bass-line, one part fear-based propulson, with [...]
