Patrick Wolf’s latest single “Damaris”
“Damaris” is Patrick Wolf’s third single for his album “The Bachelor”. A song about love and sorrow, the video (directed by Patrick Wolf himself) featuring Gwendoline Christie in the part of Damaris, fits perfectly in this universe! Addictive strings build the song from the beginning to the end, accompanied by beautiful choir and Irish whistle. [...]
Just The Architect’s “Theo The Weak”
Jonathan Chan, the mind behind Just The Architect, is one of those people that always leave us mesmerizes by anything he touches!
Wandering through his own magical world, Just The Architect present us six new songs on the edge of perfection. Title track is violent and chaotic, a love tragedy, a fantasy, a dream – all [...]
A ‘Beauty Killer’ called Jeffree Star
Jeffree Star is one of those artists you would never imagine recording a good album. To be honest, I can’t really say if it’s true or not… Jeffree’s debut album ‘Beauty Killer’ isn’t perfect but it isn’t bad, I’d say it’s worth a listen!
Opening with the line “I’m gonna break your heart and get away [...]
Kap Bambino release “Blacklist”
‘Blacklist’ seems like the connection between the more “electro-popish” debut album ‘Love’ and the more aggressive ‘Zero Life Night Vision’. The huge amount of BPM is still there, the harsh vocals by Khima France are still there, the aggressiveness is still dominant, but there’s a somehow mainstream vibe all around the album.
Songs like “Blacklist”, “11:38” [...]
CocoRosie “Coconuts, Plenty Of Junkfood”
CocoRosie’s new EP brings some fresh air into their discography.
Starting with the shiny pop song “Happy Eyez”, full of childish love, organs, toys, beats and light, the whole EP seems to get away from the dark ethereal places where they’ve been in ‘The Adventures Of Ghosthorse & Stillborn’. “Milkman” shows us a splendorous Sierra singing [...]
Jake Downs – Plague EP
Jacob Downs is still a young boy, perhaps too young to be taken serious at the beginning. This wrong idea fades away as soon as you listen to his music! Despite the tender age, Jake is a wonderful musician who can play a considerable variety of instruments and possesses a limpid sweet voice.
On ‘Plague’ EP, [...]
THE BACHELOR is out!
‘The Bachelor’ is out! Patrick Wolf’s fourth album came out 1st of June and it couldn’t be more surprising.
The intro “Kriegspiel” opens our ears (and our mind) for a journey to somewhere new; “Hard Times” (the second single to be taken from the album) has guitar and violin all throughout the song, pushing us [...]
Chicks On Speed to release “Cutting The Edge”
After a long period of wait, Chicks On Speed present us their new album ‘Cutting The Edge’ (coming out May, 29th). This time they worked hard on appealing pop music on an album full of possible hits and interludes. “Girl Monster” is accelerated and a great opening for the album, followed by the dance hit [...]
“The Plot” by Who Made Who
The Danish trio Who Made Who released their highly anticipated second album “The Plot”. The formula remains the same as in the first record, an effective mixture of electro-pop-rock. We all know that Who Made Who are not a perfect band and “The Plot” has some boring stuff like “Keep Me In My Plane” or [...]
La Roux’s new single “Bulletproof”
After two smashing singles “Quicksand” and “In For The Kill” La Roux comes back with “Bulletproof”. The first two singles were released by the French label Kitsuné, which released names like Fischerspooner, Cut Copy, Digitalism, Yelle, The Whip or Autokratz. Now signed to the major Polydor, La Roux is releasing her debut album on 29.06.09… [...]
