Weyes Blood: Rough Trade Session (ep)
Weyes Blood Rough Trade Session (ep) Sub Pop Records Weyes Blood’s Titanic Rising is probably my single favourite album of the year. It’s the first record of 2019 that I remember making my head spin. I want to wrap it in cotton wool and keep it always – I have listened to it a lot […]Archive

Sharon O’Neill, Smash Palace [Single] (1982) I’m lucky enough to – finally – have found a copy of the film soundtrack, a gorgeous EP – but ahead of that, I settled for this single: The title track from the film and its soundtrack EP. I met Sharon a few years back and spoke to her […]Archive

Aoife O’Donovan: In The Magic Hour Solo Sessions (ep)
Aoife O’Donovan In The Magic Hour Solo Sessions (ep) Yep Roc Records Aoife O’Donovan’s 2016 album In The Magic Hour was one of the best of that year for me – easily. As is the case when O’Donovan records – she makes magic. But here on an EP of the stripped back solo sessions from […]Archive

Blam Blam Blam, Untitled Tour EP (2019) A reissue/replication of the band’s early work – the classic songs – put together for the recent tour which was brilliant. I was too young to catch Blam Blam Blam the first time, but I wasn’t going to miss them on this reunion and it was brilliant. Three […]Archive

Ivor Cutler: Singing While Dead (ep)
Ivor Cutler Singing While Dead (ep) Hoorgi House The Scottish poet, humourist and eccentric-af creative Ivor Cutler had a music career too.

The Vinyl Countdown # 229
Carboard & Computers, The Best Ones [Single] (2016) I was given this – it’s part of a multimedia project more than it’s actually a single (and a remix). So I have one of the poster-prints too and I love the concept as much or more than the music. I do love the music enough too […]Archive

Poem: To Be Remembered By
The Greatest Hits EP like the 150-page auto- biography is hard to come by. It’s the ultimate statement. Leave ego at the door and in no more than six songs create something to be remembered byArchive
