Neneh Cherry: Broken Politics

Neneh Cherry Broken Politics Smalltown Supersound Four or five years is often thought a reasonably long time between records, but it’s very swift in the case of Neneh Cherry. She’s never rushed (five solo albums in nearly 30 years) but this follows, somewhat swiftly on the heels of the phenomenal return that was The Blank […]

Jon Hopkins: Late Night Tales

Various Artists Late Night Tales: Jon Hopkins Late Night Tales Late Night Tales – the formula is great, well the idea, as it’s never (quite) a formula. Essentially an artist makes a mixtape, but the clue is in that series-title, Late Night, so these tales are the type told at 1am or 3am or 5am, […]

Nils Frahm: Late Night Tales

Various Artists Late Night Tales: Nils Frahm Late Night Tales The Late Night Tales series, when it works properly (and it usually does) gives some insight into the artist’s influences, more than that though it’s a mixtape of hopes and dreams. And also it’s designed – the very concept of it is – to suggest […]

Four Tet: Morning/Evening

Four-Tet Morning/Evening Text Records/Temporary Residence Ltd Four Tet – aka Kieran Hebden – has released just over a half-dozen albums under his preferred moniker, then there’s collaborations and production work, mix albums, “solo” albums (under his birth name). And he’s in the middle of an exciting period, following up stints producing Neneh Cherry’s incredible “comeback” […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 998

Neneh Cherry, Blank Project (2014) One of my albums of the year – possibly my absolute number one, certainly a Top 3 candidate. And the nicest surprise of the year, I wasn’t anticipating (wonderful) new music from Neneh Cherry. I’ve just bought the LP because I like to have one or two of my absolute […]

Neneh Cherry: Blank Project

Neneh Cherry Blank Project Smalltown Supersound It’s so early to say this – obviously! – but I doubt I’ll be as surprised (in such a good way) by another album this year. Neneh Cherry’s Blank Project is her first solo record in 18 years. She’s experimented over the years, there was that fantastic record with […]

Four Tet: Beautiful Rewind

  Four Tet Beautiful Rewind Text Records The records that Kieran Hebden makes as Four Tet always have moments that please me but Beautiful Rewind is the first one I’ve really got hooked on – as, I guess, an experience. There were a couple of wonderful tracks on There Is Love In You, I still […]
