Album Review: Florence and The Machine – Ceremonials
Ceremonials Released 31st October 2011 It feels as though it’s been a very long wait for this second album from Florence Welch and her machine. That could be because I’ve played the début album Lungs to death twice over and more since its release. There have been glimpses and treats in between the long wait. … Continue reading
Album Review: Birdy – Birdy
Birdy Released 7th November 2011 I came across Birdy because she covered one of my favourite tracks ever; Bon Iver’s Skinny Love. I didn’t even know she had an album planned, let alone recorded and pressed and waiting on my door mat until I got home one day and found it there. Now, often you’ll … Continue reading

Album Review: Ryan Adams – Ashes And Fire
Ashes And Fire Released 10th October 2011 So, it has been quite some time since we’ve heard from Ryan Adams, (not to be confused with Bryan Adams, some people think I’m raving about his latest efforts, I don’t even know if he has any latest efforts).

Album Review: Zola Jesus – Conatus
Conatus Released 26th September 2011 From the very first second this album grabs your attention with the short and sweet, not to mention amazing, instrumental Swords. From that point on this album simply had me hooked. Conatus is an album that has a very crisp and clean production throughout. It has angular sounds giving it … Continue reading

Single Review: Andy Burrows – If I Had A Heart
If I Had A Heart Released 3rd October 2011 I’d love to shout about this and rave about it, but I can’t. In fact there’s nothing overly great I can say about this at all. Other than…. it’s a vast improvement on the solo material he released last time around. OK so I know that … Continue reading
Album Review: Kasabian – Velociraptor!
Velociraptor! Released 19th September 2011 I love Kasabian, but what about this, Velociraptor!, their 4th album? Am I loving it or am I not 100% sure still?
