Laurel Halo – Quarantine

This is the sound of someone who has found their feet; Quarantine is extremely arresting in both the way that Halo sets out her vision and the contradictions that listening to it presents.

A Place to Bury Strangers – Worship

Make no mistake: this is a commercial record, glossy, sleek and assured; this is the sort of music bands like Editors would make if they were any good, to be frank.

Elika – Always the Light

Giving it a spin as part of a clearout revealed a surprisingly eloquent LP, often bathed in some wonderfully dark, Cold Wave synths and effects, some tough and intelligent lyrics and a brilliantly matriarchal delivery (not that far from Madonna at times) from Evagelia Maravelias.

Conspiracy Cinema – Propoganda, Politics and Paranoia – David Ray Carter

This is a good read and a funny, sometimes enlightening book if not one to be undertaken in an afternoon.

UMA – Drop Your Soul EP

The accent is on repetition and meditation rather than any musical proof of the artistic renaissance of the newly gleaming German capital (almost inevitably UMA are from Berlin).

I Am Oak – Nowhere Or Tammensaari

The record is all about timing; about choosing the best moment to introduce the limited instrumentation. Thijs Kuiken’s laconic drawl is the anchor on which the sound is moored: the other key sounds that are present are stripped to the essentials.

Hiva Oa – Future Nostalgia for Sale

Quiet, reserved, but possessing something intangible and precocious that I just can’t quite put my finger on, tracks like Urban and Ghosts steadily creep up on you.

Jesus H. Foxx – Endless Knocking

Marvellous, ridiculously laid back and far too much fun for one sitting, surely?
