This one starts off at a fast pace, the acoustic guitar kicks off things with a deceptively slow strum then the drums set the engine running! This is a driven track and the lyrics match the the pace –“I’m not really here right now,My mind’s taking me somewhere else,It doesn’t feel the same right now,It …
Straight out of the box this track is full of fuzz, set to the rhythm of a shuffle. This track is full of surprises though, so hold tight! Packed with low slung distorted guitar and bass this track growls to begin with, kick drum, snare, toms provide the shuffle beat underneath, the vocals add menace …
This track is a mesh of so many different influences and this is what attracted me tot it. First of all it starts off with a strummed acoustic guitar giving me the impression that it was a country song. That perception changed when the bass came in, I reckon it’s enhanced with a synth too. …
In honour of Tom Robinson’s birthday I thought I’d pick out my favourite track of his to review. I first heard this track when I saw him perform live at Blackheath Halls in January 2024, he used it to close out his set that night, and it was just one of those songs that stays …
To kick off the faves this week, we have a new one from Dirty Nice, I actually reviewed them way back in 2023, and I noted back then that they were capable of songs that would get stuck in your head and this is no different. It’s good and energetic, with lots of great guitar …
I like the way this beginnings with clashing notes, it’s very punk, but not very heavy! I think the split sections is a running theme this week, because this has a pretty solid b section at 2:39, where everything drops back to a purr, and it’s just guitar and vocals. The atmospherics on this really …
Congratulations on the release of Mrs. Other how does it feel? It feels nice to get it out. Compared to some other tracks I was able to get this one sorted quite quickly. I feel good about this one: it hits a sweet spot. What’s the story behind the song? The song’s basically about getting …
This? This is by no means a polka song. I get the feeling that this is full of Easter eggs in reference to John Candy and his acting prowess. Why? Well, first of all Polka King Of The North West activated a long dormant memory that made me think of Home Alone and how Kevin’s …
What a way to kick off 2025! This song has got all the good stuff in, at the beginning it’s got a nice little synth glitch like as if it’s an audio tag. A synth bass that’s got a bit of warp comes in over a hip hop beat that’s got a little bit of …
The Music Of Sound X Minimums – First Light This has such a cinematic feel to it, and I wouldn’t expect any less from Minimums having played and reviewed their work before. This is like an overture to the album and it’s an inspired choice both in choice of remixer and the sequence in which …
