27.03.2023-MEG MYERS Take Me To The Disco (300 Entertainment,2018)

 

ALTERNATIVE ROCK

     Take Me To The Disco  is a 46-minute ode to love and heartbreak that gives listeners an authentic representation of Myers’ internal emotions by relying heavily on dark, twisted lyricism and booming digital punk.

25.03.2023-NINA NESBITT Peroxide (Island,2014)

 

INDIE POP

     Nina is part of the new generation of internet and reality show musicians, with a brand of acoustic ‘indie’ pop that is a mixed bag of folk and pop. Although Peroxide bears a bleached sound, it is carried by her vocal talent, with her voice sitting neatly somewhere between Nanna from Of Monsters and Men and Laura Marling. The lyrics may be naive, but on the whole the album is upbeat and catchy. The repetition and poppy melodies are directed almost solely at teenage girls, but hey, she is one herself and fellow teen girls will enjoy singing along.

23.03.2023-KATZENJAMMER Rockland (Propeller,2015)

 

POP ROCK

   An all-female folk band from Norway, comprised of four sexy ladies playing no less than twenty-odd different instruments between them, swapping between those and musical styles every night on stage. Logic dictates that Katzenjammer’s novelty should have worn off by now. Rockland, however, will make you guess again.

20.03.2023-HAIM Women In Music Part 3 (Columbia,2020)

 

SOFT ROCK

   The third album from the trio is far and away their best. Intimate, multidimensional, and wide-ranging, the songwriting shines with personality and a great curiosity for melody and style.

18.03.2023-VINYL WILLIAMS Into (Company,2015)

 

NEO-PSYCHEDELIC

     After releasing an album in 2012, Lemniscate, that seemed to jam all the musical ideas young Vinyl Williams (aka Lionel Williams) ever had into each song, his second album dials down the ambition in favor of a more focused and relaxed approach. Released in 2015, Into refines the sprawling and overstuffed space rock meets chillwave of the first album, and repurposes it into something that works much better.

15.03.2023-PINS Girls Like Us (Bella Union,2013)

 

 INDIE / POST-PUNK

      Girls Like Us celebrates the cool post-punk sound of the late 70s with these ladies celebrating their own coolness to a maximum. But it’s not a bad thing since it fits to the cool sound. The four-piece from Manchester recalls the roughness of JOY DIVISION or SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES. Catchy and energetic lo-fi songs who have no problem with their inner imperfection.

14.03.2023-ANN MARGARET HOGAN Without The Moon (Downwards,2021)

 

ALTERNATIVE ROCK

     For 'Without the Moon’ , as well as new recordings, Anni delves into some gorgeous creative collaborations from her archive, including a couple of tracks originally released in 1985 on Cabaret Voltaire's Doublevision label. It’s contrasting tracks could be likened to one end of Anni's piano keyboard to the other, 'Burning Boats' with Marc Almond, to 'Scattered Carelessly', (I like that end of Anni’s piano best.) Nick Cave’s incredible 1983 piano blues slo-mo grind ‘Vixo’ all the way through to  (Nitzer Ebb/Depeche Mode) engineered by the Paul Kendall - & ‘Come Take My Hand’ produced and featuring Barry Adamson, : "sounding like some vintage Les Disques du Crépuscule poolside obscurity."

10.03.2023-POOR MOON Poor Moon (Sub Pop,2012)

 

INDIE FOLK

     The Pac-NW "supergroup" includes members of Fleet Foxes, and it's hard to view them as anything but a side project-- not worthless or redundant but dramatically overshadowed.

08.03.2023-GOLD & YOUTH Beyond Wilderness (Arts & Crafts,2013)

 

INDIE ROCK

     The 11 songs that make up this debut album brim with expansive synths and chiming guitar licks, every one of which sounds sonically pristine. Not all of the melodies stick, meaning that the album is a tad uneven, but the band make up for this with some clear standout cuts; band member Louise Burns (a respected solo artist in her own right) takes the lead and channels Kate Bush on the swooning "Jewel," and she conjures up moody drama when she harmonizes with frontman Matthew Lyall on the closing "Time to Kill."

07.03.2023-PURITY RING Womb (4AD,2020)

 

DREAM POP

     The electro-pop duo’s first album in five years muses on bodies, blood, and a girl’s coming of age; it benefits from the group’s newfound musical maturity and more exacting editorial eye.

06.03.2023-BLEACHED Welcome The Worms (Dead Oceans,2016)

 

PUNK ROCK

   L.A.-based quartet Bleached carve out a new identity on their latest, fast-forwaring past '60s revivalism into jagged and precise '70s rock edge.

01.03.2023-YUNA Rouge (Verve Forecast,2019)

 

POP

     Under the cover of night, a caped crusader breaks into a building to save the world from black-and-white monotony—and that’s not a metaphor. The animated music video for Yuna’s “Pink Youth” (ft. Little Simz) follows Yuna as a flying vigilante, fighting bulky robots in a bid to restore color to the universe, while her vocals on the track soar just as high as her character. 
     It’s just one of the many fun, bright songs that compose “Rouge,” the latest studio album from Yuna. Raised in Kuala Lumpur, she became an international star in 2012 after dropping the single “Live Your Life” on her debut, self-titled EP. “Rouge” is Yuna’s first full-length album release since her immensely popular “Chapters” in 2016.
