Encounter Amalgamation & Capital anonymously and you might presume it a greatest hits rather than a debut, its no-nonsense new-wave suggesting a lost genre classic from a contemporary of Elvis...
This second offering from Atlanta's All The Saints finds the band chin deep in psychedelic shoegaze. Like their debut, they continue to take cues from English masters like Spiritualized and...
Having impressed with four eclectic EPs (most notably last year's Gone Blind) and stirred significant buzz at 2011’s SXSW, Porcelain Raft release debut LP Strange Weekend. Entirely the work of...
The latest twist in Mexican acoustic duo Rodrigo y Gabriela's unpredictable career – which has taken in folk, Latin and rock styles, and most recently saw them producing the soundtrack...
Saintes-born Francois Marry has been on Scottish radars for some time already, as a continental cousin of Fence (who released previous album Plaine Inondable) and touring member of Camera Obscura....
The fruits of a few years' absence and an ongoing collaboration with Bon Iver figurehead Justin Vernon, Voyageur presents a more developed, confident, and articulate Kathleen Edwards. Recorded at Vernon’s...

Being a Smashing Pumpkins fan may be a trying experience, but it's rarely a boring one
While some split records wobble under the incompatibility of their contributors, this 10" is a perfectly matched collision of our own female-fronted no-wave standard-bearers Divorce and their Northern European equivalent...
Hyperpotamus’s talents are unquestionable – search for video evidence of his looping skills, and marvel as he builds complex tracks from no more than a microphone, a pedal board, and...
Former Obsessed front-man and Dave Grohl-collaborator Wino takes a break from his usual, riff-driven pummelling rock for some acoustic down-time. In this case he is teamed with modern hippy savante...

Letka have the fixings of something special: Sandra O’Neill sings beautifully; Peter Chilvers has proven his diverse talents through collaborations with Brian Eno amongst others; while Eno himself contributes to...
DJ Food has always been a refreshingly nebulous project, with production duties falling to Coldcut, myriad collaborators, and the current helmsman, Strictly Kev. That lack of a central identity perhaps...
