Presenting…Oh! Custer

Posted on March 11, 2008 by Ed

There must be something in the water over there in Sweden. Or something. Anyway, the favourite mainland European country in the blogosphere has come up trumps with another band, Oh! Custer.

Again, this was a band I’d been emailed about (to anyone who thinks I’ve ignored their emails, I haven’t, but there’s only one of me and this isn’t the day job). This is gorgeous indie-pop with both jangling guitars and a gorgeous shimmering of shoegazing, or dream pop, as the North Americans call it.

Album Review: Day One

Posted on March 11, 2008 by Ed

Day One -‘Probably Art’ (One Little Indian)

Their press release describes Day One as ‘Britain’s favourite urban storytellers.’ Um, well I would have thought that was

have been collaborating since the mid-90s. They seem

order zocor online in the best USA pharmacy bccrf.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/wiki/wiki-zocor.html no prescription with fast delivery drugstore

to believe that they echo the old school sound of De La Soul and Massive Attack, but to these ears, I’m afraid it just sounds like a load of rehashed ideas.

Yes, their music has appeared in Skins, Trigger Happy TV, Cruel Intentions and Six Feet Under. But I’ve given this album a couple of listens to try and give it the benefit of the doubt, and I have to say that it’s not bad, but it feels deeply average. The lyrics of ‘Cosmopolita’ seem worthy, reeling off people who come from mixed backgrounds which is cool, but the rhymes are cringeworthy, and that’s not cool. The two closing tracks ‘Who Owns The Rain?’ and ‘Time To Go’ redeem the album slightly, but it feels like a fairly average album that needs more of an edge, instead of having them smoothed off.

Album Review: Paul Haig

Paul Haig -‘ Go Out Tonight.’ (Rhythm Of Life)

Nearly thirty years since he first rose to prominence in Josef

K, Paul Haig releases his tenth solo album. Mining the electonica that has characterised much of his solo career, this album -as it’s title suggests – focuses on what happens when you go out, in a world of violence, CCTV and crowded nightclubs. That isn’t to suggest that the album is full of urban paranoia, like a scottish take on Grime, for example, but rather that lurking belief the deceptively simple electronics lurks and beats a darker, more watchful heart than might be suggested by a casual listen.

If you think that Haig has well and truly long abandoned the choppy guitar riffs that characterised his work with Josef K, the sound

now known as post-punk, there are still hints of that here, on opener ‘Troublemaker’ and first single ‘Hippy Dippy Pharmaceutically Trippy’. The electronica may not be startlingly original, but apart from ‘Fantasize’ it

doesn’t descend into aural wallpaper.

Thirty years into his musical career, though, Paul Haig ably demonstrates that he still has plenty to say, both musically and lyrically, and that he

Album Review: Amplifico

Amplifico – ‘See Heart See Muscle’ (MDM

Creations)

It’s a great pleasure to have the amplifico debut album in my hand.

best online pharmacy with fast delivery keflex for sale with the lowest prices today in the USA

Having seen Donna Maciocia support Aberfeldy last year and blogged enthusiastically about them here, I can only imagine how great it feels for them, given that the album was partly funded by individual donation and a webathon fundraiser gig.

And ‘See Heart See Muscle’ does not disappoint. Follow

best online pharmacy with fast delivery buspar for sale with the lowest prices today in the USA

ing on from a series of self-released EPs, See Heart See Muscle commits to vinyl (well, CD and download) a dozen songs which have amazed live.

So, people keep comparing her to KT Tunstall (well, they’re both female and from Fife, Scotland, but it kind of stops there) and I wish these comparisons would stop because a) it’s lazy and b) it’s not terribly accurate. Donna’s got a gorgeous smokey voice and a unique style of keyboard playing that means there aren’t many to compare these songs to. ‘Yeah you Can be My Muse’

and ‘Baby Baby’ blew me away from the stage and they continue to do so here. With bandmates Ross Kilgour and Dave Brunton, this album shows that the waiting was worth it and the promise delivered.

Album Review: Rosie Taylor Project

Posted on March 7, 2008 by Ed

Rosie Taylor Project -‘This City Draws Maps.’ (Bad Sneakers Records)

This album isn’t released for over a month, but I’ve been impressed enough with this that I feel I have to share with you just how great it is. This is a beautiful dreamy

online pharmacy buy ivermectin no prescription with best prices today in the USA

eight track album that drwas upon the promise of last summer’s debut single ‘Black and White Films’ and opens with their contribution to the In The City compilation ‘The Sun On My Right.’

I could sit here reeling off names that you might link with this, but let’s just say that it’s not just another twee-pop band, and I’m starting to feel so strongly about this band and this album that I think it might deflect attention that I would rather was on them, frankly. There is so much more here on offer. The next single ‘A Good Cafe On George Street’ which hopefully will get the sales and airplay it so definitely deserves. Album closer ‘The Water’s Edge’ which has a brief trumpet intro that could melt your heart at a thousand paces – and that’s before the vocals kick in. These tracks are so simple, so beautiful…and yet so affecting.

I’ve played this several times this week already, and I love it more with every listen. When it’s released, I’m sure you will to. Believe me, it will be worth the wait. A contender for one of the best albums of 2008.

and Inspiral Carpets), the Charlatans have survived a well-documented hell of a lot since the release of their first single ‘indian Rope’ back in 1990.

And now their tenth album You Cross My Path joins us. Alan McGee is telling anyone who’ll list

en (that’s still quite a lot of us, actually) that it’s their best since 1997’s Telling Stories. It comes as the first album on the elephant’s graveyard, sorry, long-running indie label that is Cooking Vinyl, and until it is released in May is available FREE via XFM (see link below).

Right. Phew. statutory reference to survivor/longevity status and the download availability out of the way. So, is the album actually any good? Well, I don’t know that I would go so far as to agree with Alan McGee, but then my favourite album is 2001’s Wonderland. But it is another excellent collection of songs and it stands well against many of their other releases, and certainly heads high above both Between Ten and 11th and Us and Us Only. Opener ‘Oh!

The tunes work well together, and whilst they don’t break any new ground, this should still bring a smile to the faces of their fans, though I wonder if some of the tracks will work better live. The production is a little lightweight, compared to some earlier albums, but it mercifully is not too slick. As more acts go down the download route, why not judge for yourselves?
