Album Review: The Flaming Lips – Oczy Mlody
It’s been a long strange trip, hasn’t it? The Flaming Lips have been a musical freak exhibit in a constant state of flux since the late 90s. Each record since 1997s Zaireeka has been a reinvention of the Lips. After the band became a three-piece(along with honorary member and long time producer Dave Fridmann), Wayne …
Track: Spoon – “Hot Thoughts”
So Spoon is dropping a new album called Hot Thoughts in March. Whenever there’s a new Spoon album I always get a little geared up, know what I mean? There’s just something about this Austin band that exudes cool and slickness. Now normally that would keep me away from a band, cause who needs all …
Track : Temples Share New Track “Change Or Be Forgotten”

Classic Album: Black Sabbath – Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
If Black Sabbath’s eponymous debut is their most influential album, Paranoid boasted the hit single that became the band’s signature tune, Master of Reality and Vol 4 are the fan favourites, then where does that leave Sabbath Bloody Sabbath? Better produced than its four predecessors, a touch broader in its musical scope (even heavy metal’s …
Track: ISLE – Faults
ISLE provide the soundtrack for celebrating our mistakes with euphoric new single ‘Faults’. ISLE are Liam John Rutherford and Ben Singer – a duo based in the Scottish Borders with a DIY ethic that sees them producing their artwork and videos as well as epic, but intimate sounding, electro-pop. ‘Faults’ (out now) has an air …
