Martha Tilston: Live Review

I couldn’t tell you why I don’t like the font, Helvetica. I just don’t. I also dislike the word ‘vat’, escalators, revolving doors and also, I need time alone in my life. Really alone.

Tennis, Album Review – Young And Old

That place. You know it. The pretty one, where the hair is wild and the world is vibrant. Perfectly matched to that passionately beating heart.

Heavenly, elongated notes look down from the night’s skies, with the fresh awareness of nature’s power upon us. Her voice comes from a forested mountainous place, it’s high, sweeping and echoes about the Thekla like mother nature calling for [...]

Ben Howard Live Review

The beach as close as the high rise is from me now. Nostalgia is a terrific beast. It grabs the heart and puts a warm robe around the shoulders, then makes you lust after its misty wake. But this is the new – yet the same – Ben Howard, improved and impressive. Wolves; Like a [...]

Grey Reverend

So much on my mind. It’s all going to be ok. I heard this song and it’s become the theme for Monday June 6. To me, it is very free, unashamed and from a solitary place. It’s as if the song is in your mind and the music is coming from you. This song has [...]
