Magnolia Melancholia Released 13th April 2015 Words: Gary Feeney Having withdrawn so completely from the public eye in 2009 following his sophomore release Kings & Queens to the extent that social media pages were set up voicing concern for his well-being, London songster Jamie Treays, better known as Jamie T, caused something of a stir … Continue reading

Album Review: Amber Run – 5AM
5AM Released April 20th 2015 I can’t believe that it has arrived at this time already. Not 5AM, but that Amber Run are releasing their debut album. It feels like it was only the other month that I was stood in a very muddy field watching them play, what was at the time, their 6th … Continue reading

Just Listen: Axel Flóvent – Forest Fires
Axel Flóvent Listen to Forest Fires here: It’s been a while since I’ve heard anything quite as pretty as Forest Fires by Axel Flóvent .

Just Listen: Kid Wave – Honey
Kid Wave Listen to Honey here: Kid Wave’s new single Honey is as gloriously grungy and shoegaze as their past few efforts and I never want them to change. It’s a bit like having a hug from an old friend. There’s nothing new to be found here, in fact there’s a little bit of a … Continue reading

Just Listen: Palace – Kiloran
Palace Listen to Kiloran here: Watch the video for Kiloran here: Palace return with new track Kiloran. It’s yet another sun-drenched blues-infused piece of song-writing perfection from the London four piece. With laid back yet intricate guitar riffs, and a mostly easy going percussive tempo, it’s so easy to get lost inside the melodies, which … Continue reading
