Review of 'Jungle' by Jungle


Two male singers, one of whom has mislaid his testicles and sings entirely in falsettos, the other of whom mutters a couple octaves beneath, harmonise together accompanied by some sweet and punchy 70s grooves and Disclosure-esque synth splashes. 

Review of 'True That' by Michael Cera

Review of 'I Love You But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now' by Got a Girl


I Love You But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now is a sixties-style French-pop-flavoured album featuring that girl from 'Scott Pilgrim vs The World' (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) on vocals and that guy who produced the first Gorillaz album (Dan the Automator) on instrumentation.
