Track: New single from Manchester electro artist Bipolar Sunshine – Rivers
Marmite and Manchester. Be a good book title that, for someone like Stuart Maconie or something. It’s also true. I’ve had occasions to be there (hasn’t everyone in the UK) whether that be football (away days, eh?) concerts, record shopping or even seeing my sister when she lived there. And wandering round that old city …
Track: Splintered in her head – 女の子
I’ve been to Japan twice. I think it is possibly the greatest, most mystifying and brilliant place I’ve ever been. We wandered around all day, and it feels (at best) both weird and (at worst) frustrating that pretty much nobody understands what you say, and vice versa. At one point, we took to pointing at …
Track: Low Tide Theory – Time Will Tell, plus album news
When you look at a map of Britain, the thing that stands out about North Devon, is how far away it is, from just about everywhere. It’s on the edge of Exmoor I grant you, and impossibly beautiful, but there’s not really anything that stands out, or jumps out and grabs you when you look …
New Music: Everything Everything – James Rutledge 'Arc' Album Remix
They told us we didn’t have many lectures on my music degree because we needed time to immerse ourselves in music, and that we needed three hours practise time per day. In our college there was this mystical place of dreams, and (more pertinently) scores, and books and records (yes, records) and CD’s. And when …

Track: Beacon – Bring You Back, plus album news
I hate that word you hear people use sometimes ‘chill-ax’. What need is there, ever, to put two words together that essentially mean the same thing. I’m quite prepared to chill-out at any given chance, or indeed relax. Or do one of them and describe it as the other. That’s the kind of live for …
Track: London Grammar – Metal and Dust
Everything was always about the start, as far as my P.E. teacher was concerned at secondary school. I forget his real name, but like all P.E. teachers, and probably most teachers in general he had a nickname; Fade. This was because (and remember this was the 80’s by the way) if we dared to forget …
Track: Pyyramids – Do you think you’re enough
It’s not long since we wrote about the Pyyramids (in fact it’s here) but two things have become apparent since I did. a) they are brilliant, and b) they have released a new track to the public in support of their forthcoming debut album ‘Brightest Darkest Day’, which is released in the UK on the 15th April. It …
