Say Psych: Playlist 16/2016
This week’s Psych Insight play list is packed full of massive chunks of heaviness, with a few more chilled out moments along the way. There aren’t a lot of new releases in August so I’ve throw in a few favourites of mine too. Enjoy! The Nightfeeders by Nudity Utterly brilliant track from a few …
See: Billy Bragg and Joe Henry release video ahead of Shine A Light
A preview of the Shine A Light project, looking at the history and songs of the American railway, Billy Bragg and Joe Henry have released a video of the recording of “The L&N Don’t Stop Here Anymore”. It’s part of a fascinating trip on the US railroad, in particular the route from Chicago to LA. …
Album Review: Lou Rhodes – Theyesandeye
It’s been ten years since Lamb released their stirring electronic anthem ‘Gorecki’. Their dark, genre bending sound put them up with their contemporaries of the time; Massive Attack, Tricky, and Portishead. It was very much the sound of the time, but they did it differently and created something above and beyond what anyone else was …
Album Review: MSTRKRFT – Operator
So let me start out by saying I’m not an aficionado when it comes to electronica. I’m really just an outsider looking in that finds himself drawn to the beats and noisy synths. I feel EDM, techno, and house music like I feel jazz, hip hop, and classical music; that is to say I feel …

So being nosey I …
Not Forgotten: The Sensational Alex Harvey Band – Tomorrow Belongs to Me
Absolutely uncategorisable throughout their career, by 1975, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band were still in pursuit of an elusive hit singles, but album wise Tomorrow Belongs to Me followed hot on the heels of the brilliant The Impossible Dream, and proved beyond a doubt that its predecessor was in no way a fluke hit. Rocker …
Album Review: Ryan Young & Electric Sunrise – Heat Seeker
Us Sheffield folk have always been a proud bunch. And why shouldn’t we be? From our great bands such as Pulp and Arctic Monkeys to our heritage as makers of the world’s greatest knives and forks. Anyone from the area who follows the local music scene may already be familiar with singer-songwriter Ryan Young. For …
Not Forgotten: Jethro Tull – Live: Bursting Out
When the broom of Punk arrived to sweep away the dust bunnies of the old guard, Jethro Tull took the frankly baffling route of going folk-rock. Having been born out of the 60s British Blues Boom, they’d already undergone an evolutionary career which saw them dabble with hard rock, satirical concept albums, art-rock and even …
Live Review: Woodburner at the Yoke
The ‘need to know’… Festival name: Woodburner at the Yoke Location: Yoke Farm, Upper Hill, Hereford. Setting: Rough woodland and soft fields. Transport: Train to Hereford/Leominster and then buses, taxis or lifts if you have a lovely friend and/or some surplus booze. But, I hear in the future there may be organised minibuses so watch …
