Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - 'Sick
These guys hit the scene with a bang 3 years ago with 'Thou Shalt Always Kill'. The duo released their second EP 'Logic of Chance' last month and this is the albums opener. The track starts quietly and on first listen made me double take and think, "these guys have changed direction", but when the beat drops that thought was removed from my mind. The track gives the impression it's about partying, trouble making and drug taking and is delivered perfectly. Scroobius Pip delivers his lines in his unique manner, in his slightly monotone yet still captivating voice. 'Jesus died for somebody's sins...View More
Cosmo Jarvis - 'Crazy Screwed Up La
I have to admit that, of all the singles I've reviewed over the last couple of months, the latest one to find its way to me probably held the greatest promise; not because it was from a band I knew or because it had come highly recommended, but simply because of the artist's name! The track was called 'Crazy Screwed Up Lady' and if that wasn't enough to catch your eye then wait for the name of the artist... Cosmo Jarvis! Born Harrison Cosmo Kikoryan Jarvis (Names don't come much more impressive than that) in New Jersey, he grew up in Devon, even supporting his fellow Devon trio, Muse, at their...View More
Delphic - 'Acolyte' (Album Review)
This, the debut album by the Manchester electro band has helped these guys be tipped for greatness in 2010. And after listening I can honestly see why. This album is on mating terms with bliss! Having over looked Delphic at first, simply considering them another overhyped band the release of this album has proved me wrong. The album feels fresh and clean and is a breath of fresh air into a genre that is becoming crowded. This is a true dance floor album but you could just as easily put it on and totally relax. Many of the bass lines are reminiscent of 70s Manc band Joy Division, with the lads ...View More
Ellie Goulding 'Starry-Eyed (Song R
"Oh everybody's starry-eyed" and I think I know why - they've just discovered the fantastic new single from Ellie Goulding, perhaps one of the most exciting things to happen to music in a long-time. Ellie began writing folk-inspired music in her early teens but from listening to her latest single, 'Starry-Eyed', you'd struggle to find any sign of this influence in her now very characteristic sound. Her charming yet haunting vocals seem to float eerily over this track, imprinting the melody in your memory within seconds. Ellie's guitar can be heard on the song, as well as drums and synth effect...View More
Twin Atlantic 'Lightspeed' (Song Re
I don't know what it is about Scotland at the moment, perhaps there is something in the water (or maybe the whiskey), but whatever it is there seems to be an incredible number of new bands appearing up North. Twin Atlantic, a quartet from Glasgow, are one such band and their Gaelic connection is definitely at the fore on their latest single 'Lightspeed'. On the band's website they describe their vocal performance of front-man Sam McTrusty as "dripping with gorgeous Scottish vowels", and although not my cup of tea, you have to admire the guys for sticking with their accent and making it part of...View More
