Category New Album Releases

REVIEW: Dream Wife – ‘Fire’ EP (Lucky Number Music)

Dream Wife’s latest single ‘Fire’, padded out to an EP with previous release ‘Somebody’ and three new remixes, only makes the prospect of a debut album even more exciting.

REVIEW: The Killers – ‘Wonderful Wonderful’ (Island / UMG)

The first album from The Killers in five years, ‘Wonderful Wonderful’, sees the band struggling to break with their old ways, but only sometimes sucessfully.

REVIEW: Cut Copy – ‘Haiku From Zero’ (Astralwerks)

Cut Copy’s fifth album ‘Haiku From Zero’ does exactly what music marketed as “vintage” should do, but fails to do so memorably.

REVIEW: Chelsea Wolfe – ‘Hiss Spun’ (Sargent House)

Chelsea Wolfe’s fifth album ‘Hiss Spun’ is so remorselessly, unrelentingly bleak that it becomes physically tiring.

REVIEW: Hundred Waters – ‘Communicating’ (!K7 / OWSLA)

Hundred Waters’ third album ‘Communicating’ sees them spread further from their folktronica origins to make themselves relevant and interesting all over again.
