Mr. Scruff: DJ Kicks

Well, every now and then I like to check in with the mixtape sessions and series’ I always valued – either because it’s a trusted series (DJ […]

V/A: Peggy Gou – DJ Kicks

Various Artists:   DJ Kicks: Peggy Gou  !k7 Records  A really great DJ mix album should mean you really don’t spot any sore thumbs; you don’t care if a song that’s not really to your liking is included – because in and of that moment it sounds good, or at least sounds like it is meant to be there […]

The High Llamas: Here Come The Rattling Trees

The High Llamas Here Come The Rattling Trees !K7 I loved The High Llamas – a decade or so ago, collected up whatever I could find. Like a slightly drearier version of The Wondermints, this was lovely, yearning, Beach Boys-aping adult pop music. Never as twee and fawning as Belle & Sebastian but a bit […]

Tosca: Odeon

Tosca Odeon !K7/Border Richard Dorfmeister (also, of course, of Kruder & Dorfmeister) returns as Tosca (with Rupert Huber) and it’s a long game now for Tosca but they’ve never bettered Suzuki in my opinion. And Odeon doesn’t really come close to the class of that but if you’re (still) the sort to want to look […]
