Say Psych: Album Review, Lanes Oil, Dream Is Pry by Rollfast
Rollfast is a band that I’ve been following for a while (here for previous reviews); a five-piece from Bali, Indonesia it purveys a great line in blues drenched psych rock that, in the limited number of releases I’ve heard, has never disappointed. Now, after almost 5 years together, the band has put out an album with …
Say Psych: Album Review, At The Center Of All Infinity by Yuri Gagarin
Happens every year: I do my list of favourite albums and along comes one just after I’ve pressed send and totally blows me away. Having said that I’m not sure what I would have dropped to accommodate ‘At The Centre Of All Infinity’ by Gothenburg’s Yuri Gagarin, but there is absolutely no way that it would …
Album Review: MONEY – Suicide Songs
With Christmas just around the corner, the music on our radios is about joy, happiness and having a good time. But come January we are all fed up of the bells and the sparkle. The festive season behind us and the nights are dark and long. Nights out and Christmas parties turn to cheap nights …
Album Review: Sikth – Opacities
After 9 years away Sikth have come back to embarrass everyone else in the scene by just being brain meltingly brilliant. Their new mini-album Opacities is exactly what modern forward thinking metal should be, exciting, unpredictable and unique. Without missing a beat Sikth have just continued where they left off and re-emerged as frontrunners of …
Say Psych: Album Review, Drone Jams Vol. 1 by Space Spectrum
The jam is something that seems to be missing in much of mainstream music these days. I am not saying that it was ever that prevalent, but there have been times when musicians just got up and played; just to see where it would take them. This, of course, would be an anathema to most …
Album Review: Oneohtrix Point Never – Garden of Delete
It’s not often that I can’t think of the words to describe an album. I can usually scrounge up enough vernacular to create a pretty good idea of what’s in between the grooves. But with Daniel Lopatin, aka Oneohtrix Point Never, and his newest album Garden of Delete, it can be quite perplexing to paint a …
Album Review: Parquet Courts – Monastic Living EP
Parquet Courts, the Indie Rock band hailing from New York City, have been trolling the musical community for about a year now since releasing their last album under the moniker ‘Parkay Quarts’. Before that, the band released two excellent albums, Light Up Gold and Sunbathing Animal, and one exciting EP, Tally All The Things That …
Say Psych: Album Review, ‘Horse Stories’ by Josefin Ohrn + The Liberation
The vast majority music that I listen to is, for want of a better word, dirty. It usually has lots of fuzzed up guitar and other effects: sonics that are foggy and dense. Every so often though a record comes along that is clean and clear that I just really take to my heart. Such …
Album Review: Justin Bieber – Purpose
Nobody quite likes Justin Bieber. He is both the most loved and hated man in the world at the same time, and i differece to the former child star seems impossible. In the past few years he has been better known for his blatant disrespect for the law, or his knack of saying ridiculously inappropriate …
Album Review: Throw Down Bones – ‘Throw Down Bones’

Throw Down Bones is “Noise Militia, Amnesia haze kraut and Philosophical drone”. Risen, phoenix-like from the ashes of Piatcions, “THROW DOWN BONES is the answer, a personal therapy, a rehab …
