Review of 'Sour Soul' by BADBADNOTGOOD and Ghostface Killah

Sour Soul has all the instrumental grandeur of a Bond movie. Why then is Ghostface Killah not rapping about fast cars and hot women and gunfights like he always does? Why instead is he giving us nutritional tips?

Review of 'If You're Reading This Its Too Late' by Drake

‘If I die, I’m a legend’.

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE WEEK 18/02/2015: Sufjan Stevens, Slaves, Earl Sweatshirt and more...

It's time for that special segment of the site in which I sieve through the singles of the last seven days, separating the superb from the shit. This week, Sufjan Stevens, Slaves and Earl Sweatshirt all serve up songs. So much sibilance. It's starting to get silly. 

Review of 'I Love You, Honeybear' by Father John Misty

‘Love is just an institution based on human frailty.’

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE WEEK 11/02/2015: Kendrick Lamar, Royal Blood, Laura Welsh and more...

So, did you watch the Grammys? No, me neither. I'm glad to hear St Vincent won an award and equally glad to hear that Iggy Azalea didn't. Also, Kanye's still a dick. That about sums up my thoughts on the whole event.

Ever wanted to go hand-gliding with Jeff Bridges through Temescal Canyon? Now you can.

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE WEEK 04/02/2015: Young Fathers, From Indian Lakes, Chris Lorenzo and more...

This week I look at the new track from Mercury Prize winners Young Fathers, plus Chris Lorenzo's new dud of a dance anthem. Buckle up!

Review of 'Lucky Leaves' by Krill

All you bands who think it’s cool to release your album on cassette tape in 2015 aren’t thinking outside the box enough. Boston indie rockers, Krill, have made their album available on USB. That’s not all – the USB stick comes embedded in a ball of mozzarella cheese.
