Doviak is here with a track that comes at you with attitude, the drums deep and punchy in the mix, with some great guitar work, and his vocals so clear… I love the way that there’s a falsetto over the top to reinforce it all. Overall the track is dark, both lyrically and musically, …
Single Review: “Thirteen Weeks” – With Sun
Thirteen Weeks – With Sun I’ll be honest, I struggled with whether I wanted to review this one, as the subject matter is that raw. And everyone that I know that’s heard this song has had the same reaction. I don’t think I’d have been able to do it justice as a reviewer as my …
Single Review: “Blood” – Soft Velvet Lounge
What I like about this song is the very indie pop vibe on this…. Very dreamy vocals that swirl around you, and with a powerful production as the backdrop it really does hit the spot. The synths being played are interesting choice sound wise, to begin with you hear a very quiet synth pad which …

Album Review: “Pixelation” – Kiffie
Pixelation by Kiffie Pixelation This track is characteristic of Kiffie’s sound, very electronic, sparse synth sounds…. But there’s one little change, this track is not in 4/4. At least not all the way through. Don’t get too confused, it’s a bit of polyrhythmic play that funnily enough I was discussing with a colleague of mine …
