Say Psych: Album Review: Hookworms – Microshift
Rating: 7/10 Hookworms are a band that need no introduction really and yet with a noticeable three-year absence from releasing new material some would be forgiven for forgetting about them. The release of the Leeds bands new LP marks a shift in their sound, dynamic song-writing and production whilst still bearing all the ferocious energy …
See: Superorganism release video for Everybody Wants To Be Famous
Likely to be the coolest band in the world in 2018, Superorganism have a date for their debut album, it will be out March 3rd on Domino. They also have a band-produced video for new single “Everybody Wants To Be Famous”. In which, lead singer Orono’s softly-spoken vocals perfectly express the boredom of everyone reaching …
See: Hookworms release video for Static Resistance
Hookworms are back with another track and video “Static Resistance”, from the forthcoming “Microshift” album. While the band say that “It’s a song about the wax and wane of depression and an eternal want to escape the life you’ve built.”, the toe-tapping beat and bright colours in the almost Parklife-esque video give the initial impression of …
Album Review: Real Estate – ‘In Mind’
Real Estate have always come across as indifferent to the world around them. They seem to be completely aware of the what’s going on, but despite the good and bad that comes crashing down all around they breezily strum and sing their songs of nostalgic navel gazing and pining for something they may never get. …

See: Shirley Collins releases video for Death And The Lady
To go 38 years without releasing an album might be considered lackadaisical. But “Lodestar” from Shirley Collins beats even Vashti Bunyan for discography gaps. Now revealed from that record is the video for “Death and the Lady” – a creepy pastoral view of Britain featuring green fields, horses, but then also charnel houses, skulls and …
Album Review: Animal Collective – Painting With
Animal Collective can say that they have most assuredly created their own unique musical world. No one can even come close to reinterpreting their sound and their vibe. Maybe t-U-n-E-y-A-r-D-s to some extent, but not to the exuberant extremes that AC do. I think for many Merriweather Post Pavillion was the point at which this Maryland four-piece …
Album Review: Martin Courtney : Many Moons
There’s something about Martin Courtney’s voice that just gets me. He has one of those voices that no matter what he’s singing he always just sounds like him. There’s no grandiose accenting or histrionics when he sings songs like “It’s Real” or “Talking Backwards” with his main gig Real Estate. You get the impression when …
