<title>Mystery Juice – Eye For An Aye EP</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    Big in Russia: an idiom not as often heard as &lsquo;big in Japan&rsquo;. Despite their successes in the former Soviet Union - they've released two Russian-only albums - Edinburgh's Mystery Juice remain a fairly well-kept secret on home turf. Visceral funk-blues is perhaps not our best known of exports. However,...

<description>

SID Chip Sounds, a collection of music...

    It&rsquo;s cold, dark and miserable in Camden &ndash; a night to turn your breath to crystal, decked out in the full complement of seasonal greys and browns. Your correspondent has been shivering outside a creaky old bar for fifteen minutes, before being revived, suddenly, by approaching, oblivious laughter. &ldquo;You wanna...

<title>The Big Pink: &quot;We needed to create a different energy&quot; </title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    London duo Milo Cordell and Robbie Furze's 2009 debut&nbsp;A Brief History of Love was enormously successful, with its blisteringly distorted pop rock songs that were as much for dancing as they were paeans to lost love. Speaking over the phone as their second album surfaces, Cordell marks their change in...

<title>Wild Flag / Peggy Sue @ Òran Mór, 30 January</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    Both of tonight&rsquo;s acts, while ostensibly steeped in well-trodden approaches to rock, manage to infuse their music with bursts of startling vitality. For the Brighton-based trio Peggy Sue, that involves entwining rockabilly foundations with grinding, trebly riffs and powerful, wailing female vocals; it&rsquo;s a mixture that recalls PJ Harvey&rsquo;s early,...

<![CDATA[
    Damien Jurado&rsquo;s last album was a game changer. Having spent 15 years churning out folk/folk-rock albums that were sometimes excellent, but otherwise showed little sign of progression, Saint Bartlett saw Jurado explore new depths of style and production, harnessing a bit of reverb and a set of strings to great...

<title>A Dangerous Method</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    Where is the danger in A Dangerous Method? This exploration of the relationship between Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) and Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen) should be fertile ground for David Cronenberg, but the director appears oddly straitjacketed by the task of adapting Christopher Hampton's play. While there is much to intrigue...

    With smutty infographs and high-rise money shots, Urbanized slips the panties down on modern city living. This documentary has no sexy Grand Designs narrator, however, as director Gary Hustwit lets carrot-jeaned architects and city-dwelling shmoes narrate. We hear from the guys that turned New York's derelict High Line rail track...

    It&rsquo;s one thing to be a great band but it&rsquo;s quite another to make a great record. Definitive statements can become something of an albatross around the neck if they happen to occur too early in a band&rsquo;s career; but for Errors, it feels like their new LP, Have Some...

<title>Crocus – Our Memories Dress Me in A Dead Lust</title>

<![CDATA[
    At times, progressive hardcore can be something of a joyless business. Hailing from Holy Roar Records, the same stable that gave us the excellent and refreshingly exuberant Rolo Tomassi, Crocus are an austere, unrelentingly-earnest, air-punching outfit, knee-deep in technical ability yet determined to make listening to their album as misanthropic...

    At this stage, it&rsquo;d be mad to expect sweeping changes from a new Lambchop record, and the loungy, intricate and patient Mr. M (Mr. Met until a libelous baseball mascot got involved) satisfies the rule, for the most part.
