For all the faceless MP32s we download on a regular basis, you still can't replace the excitement of great looking album art—even cooler when we've got a freshly pressed vinyl and bespoke booklet to pour ... read more �

There's no real reason that the music you are instinctively drawn to at Christmas should be the chirpy 'n' cheerful 70s hits that are pumped out 18 hours a day in your local Starbucks, you know. Don't get me wrong: I love the Xmas Classics of  Slade and Wizzard , et al, and I especially love the former's total disregard for grammar . But I've always found myself drawn to very specific albums at this time of year - Spiritualized's Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating In Space , Talking Heads' [...]

• Off Modern - OMR002 - Gabriel Bruce 'Sleep Paralysis'

Gabriel Bruce's sleep paralysis has got that baritone comparative to The National, with similar spooky qualities of Timber Timbre or Leonard Cohen. It moves with the interplay of dark and light (sleep/wake) to the minimal sound of an organ and Bruce repeating, "I got this feeling that we're dead".

"I got this feeling I was dead, and there’s nothing more", the oft-repeated line from Sleep Paralysis, and ex-Loverman Gabriel Bruce sets the tone for his debut single.

Sleep Paralysis 73 is out [...]

(Song Of The Day) Gabriel Bruce - Sleep Paralysis   ‘I got this feeling I was, dead and there’s nothing more’ If London’s Gabriel Bruce voice does not instantly captivate you; then surely his lyrics will. Its a little dark but that is counteracted by the hypnotizing drums, organ and off course a synthesizer. If you are like me and you are dying to hear more of Gabriel’s [...]
