RNZ Reviews: March 2018

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so a couple of years into […]

Tracey Thorn: Record

Tracey Thorn Record Merge Records Nearly 40 years into her career now Tracey Thorn is making her best music with each new release. The last half-decade or so has seen a handful of brilliant solo efforts – with a career-sampler hits package worth checking and just before that a wonderful slim-volume soundtrack that was the […]

Tracey Thorn: Solo – Songs and Collaborations: 1982-2015

Tracey Thorn Solo: Songs and Collaborations – 1982-2015 Caroline That this doesn’t have, um, Everything FROM The Girl speaks more to the sheer amount of quality material rather than any failings of this compilation. Here Tracey Thorn’s sporadic solo career – and her guest spots and collaborations – are combined across a double disc. When […]

Pixx: Fall In (ep)

Pixx Fall In (ep) 4AD It’s always a joy to hear something small, perfectly formed – particularly when it’s this fresh. The This is Pixx’s Fall In EP. She’s 19, newly signed to 4AD and in the opening, title track she appears to have made the perfect merger of Everything But The Girl and The […]

Tracey Thorn: Songs From ‘The Falling’

Tracey Thorn Songs From ‘The Falling’ Strange Feeling Records I’ve yet to see the film but no matter, for this is not your conventional movie soundtrack. It works as standalone, as ‘new album by Tracey Thorn’, for the clue is there in the title, these are just the ‘songs’ from that movie The Falling; no […]

Ben Watt: Hendra

Ben Watt Hendra Caroline International S&D For his first singer/songwriter solo album in over 30 years, Ben Watt’s Hendra has more in common with his revealing, well-written books (both Patient and Romany and Tom) than anything from his canon as remixer/DJ and as one half of Everything But The Girl. Because of his gifts as […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1404

Tracey Thorn, A Distant Shore (1982) I bought this a few years ago because I was a bit intrigued by it – which is to say I didn’t know it existed; I’ve warmed to Everything But The Girl with time, I wasn’t a fan immediately, I find myself more interested in the music these days. […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1645

Everything But The Girl, Idlewild (1988) It wasn’t so much that I didn’t like Everything But The Girl, it was more a case of my exposure to the band coming at the wrong time, in the wrong way. I worked in a music store when that Missing song was at its peak – so I […]
