For a little while maybe I did fall for my own mythology' ? Doherty

There are certain artists whose lives end up overshadowing their work, to the extent that people forget about what made them famous in the first place.

And let’s be ho

life over the last decade or more has been more than just a little a bit like that. Yet there’s no doubt that songs like ‘What A Waster’ ‘Can’t Stand Me Now’ ‘Killamangiro’ ‘Fuck Forever’ and perhaps my favourite ‘Don’t Look Back Into The Sun’ are awesome tunes.

Presenting…Naked

Naked band

Another signing to the excellent Song, By Toad record label, Naked are an Edinburgh-based three piece consisting of Aggie, Alexander and Grant. According to the small blurb in the email “They met on the small Island of Fårö on the south-eastern coast of Sweden. Their music is a mix of sculptured guitar dissonance, R&B beats and traditional Gotlander vocals. Naked is about sound, pure and defenceless.”

Their debut single ‘Lie Follows Lie’ is out on July 22 on 7″ vinyl. I think it sounds rather fantastic, and they sound quite different from a lot of the other Song, By toad labelmates (this is meant as a compliment to all concerned).

There are a couple of launch nights: Edinburgh’s Sneaky Pete’s (July 6 – yes! tonight! act, then!!) and July 18 at Old Blue Last, London.

Phildel -‘Disappearance Of The Girl’ (Decca)

Music isn’t made in a vacuum. It’s made in response to something, whether in response to or reaction against. Whilst singer-songwriters of both sexes and of whatever instrumentation can frequently be a turn-off, there’s really something beautiful and moving here.

According to the press release, Phildel’s step-fath

er was a religious man who forbade music, so she came to know silence well, and discovered music at school during lunchtime (for such kids, it’s either there or the library), eventually breaking away from the household. It’s there when you glance at the album in the song titles alone: ‘Switchblade’ ‘Holes In Your Coffin’ ‘Funeral Bell’…no prisoners here.

And the end result is something really special. Normally phrases like ‘delicate’ and ‘un

m concerned, I loved both those bands when they appeared, and thought Bloc Party’s Four album was a return to form last year, while I’m really looking forward to the forthcoming fourth Franz Ferdinand album.

Bloc Party seem to be about to go on hiatus again, but before they do, they are preparing to release a new five-track EP, The Nextwave Sessions EP.

The first track out from it is entitled ‘Ratchet’ and it’s mighty fine:

The EP also features four new tracks: ‘Obscene,’ ‘French Exit,’ ‘Montreal’ and ‘Children Of The Future.’

Meanwhile, Franz Ferdinand have announced that their new album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action will be out on August 26.

The tracklisting for the album is as follows:
‘Right Action’
‘Evil Eye’
‘Love Illumination’
‘Stand On The Horizon’
‘Fresh Strawberries’
‘Bullet’
‘Treason! Animals’

You can download it below. I’m not sure if Kim Deal was involved in this or not, it sounds like her voice in a couple of places, but…

They have also made a video for it.

So folks, what do you reckon? And if this is a post-Kim Deal Pixies should they continue?

Album Review: Taffy

Taffy -‘Lixiviaite’ (Club AC30)

Barely more than a year since the release in the UK of their debut album, Caramel, and Tokyo four-piece Taffy are back with their sophomore album, Lixiviaite.

As with their debut, the band are in love with indie’s history, particularly the pre-Britpop high points of shoegazing and c-86. It’s a sweet album -perhaps a little too sweet at times, but a fun way to spend forty minutes.

Amongst the standout tracks here are album opener ‘Sweet Violet’ and their frankly astonishing version of The Cure’s ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ which they completely make their own. As you would hope from any good cover version – but it’s not just the fact that it’s a female voice, musically they have run with it, and in ways I wouldn’t have thought in decades of listening to the song.

It’s not a huge progression from their debut, but it’s another welcome addition, and a welcome antidote to so much pseudo-indie landfill.

***1/2

Lixiviaite is out now on Club AC30.

The Dunwells -‘Follow the Road’ (Playing In Traffic/Concord)

It’s funny, I really wasn’t sure that I was going to be bothered with this album as I worked through my review pile, but there’s an honesty and openness about this album that actually makes it rather appealing when

order super kamagra online in the best USA pharmacy dcsmentalhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/wiki/wiki-super-kamagra.html no prescription with fast delivery drugstore

it comes on.

The Dunwells hail from Leeds but they wear their music love on their sleeves and that love is Americana’s regular clothes of a blend of rock, folk and country. Sure they sing in American accents, but that’s hardly a hanging offence, after all, how many British bands have? Opening with the title track, over the course of the eleven tracks here there’s a warmness that has inevitably seen them gather comparisons to M*mf*rd *nd S*ns but this album is strong and decent. And even stripped down on tracks like ‘Oh Lord’ and ‘Sa

ving Grace’ it’s strong enough to keep it together. Their debut album is called Blind Sighted Faith in America so this is the British version, which seems to hang together pretty nicely to these ears.

Sure there are lots of bands doing this – but I think it’s the Dunwells I want to hear doing it.

The boys dunwell (sorry, weak, but I couldn’t resist!)
