Real Estate, Girls and Oh Mercy are at the more immediate end of the spectrum but not far behind are a gang of Melbourne musicians in bands like Twerps … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Twerps | Twerps

LISTEN: To the first full track from Lou Reed /Metallica’s Lulu

The LP gets released at the end of October but today we have the first full length track The View. It reminds me a bit of Bowie’s dalliance with Tin Machine in parts and heard as a whole track it sounds way better than the impression the 30 second teaser gave us last week. Continue reading LISTEN: To the first full track from Lou Reed /Metallica’s Lulu

LISTEN: To Seekir from the new Zola Jesus album…

Zola Jesus has followed up last year’s Stridulum II pretty quickly with the upcoming Conatus, out October 4th via Sacred Bones.
