Oneohtrix Point Never: Magic Oneohtrix Point Never

Oneohtrix Point Never Magic Oneohtrix Point Never Warp Records As Oneohtrix  Point Never, bedsit electronica composer Daniel Lopatin has made over a dozen records now – including film soundtracks, and maybe he truly broke big under his own name with the soundtrack to Uncut Gems; one of those rare movies where Adam Sandler is ‘good’ […]

Sebastien Tellier: Domesticated

Sebastien Tellier Domesticated Record Makers Okay, without any question or hesitation this is easily my least favourite Sebastien Tellier album. BUT, it’s still pretty fucking good. At least in places. There’s enough here to have me hitting it up for a while – and then just focussing in on the blinders, like Hazy Feelings, which […]

Kody Nielson: Birthday Suite

Kody Nielson Birthday Suite Flying Nun Ruban and Kody Nielson – together, or alone – the work is always interesting, always worth hearing. I’ve loved all of the Unknown Mortal Orchestra material and the thought of them reunited to perform live is terrific of course. The other great thing is that the work is all […]

Britta Phillips: Luck Or Magic

Britta Phillips Luck Or Magic Double Feature For the last two decades Britta Phillips has partnered with Dean Wareham to provide a great range of music across the “dream-pop” spectrum, first as half of Luna, and then as the duo Dean & Britta. There they mixed covers and originals and worked on commissioned soundtracks for […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 783

V/A, The Young and The Restless Horizon [OST] (1974) I loved that music – as a kid, sick days from school or home from kindergarten – my mum watching the soaps. I can remember the music without hearing it. Play the music, as on this record, and I can remember attempting conversations with my mum […]

Sebastien Tellier: L’Aventura

Sebastien Tellier L’Aventura Record Makers It’s only been six-to-eight months since Tellier dropped what was in my opinion one of the best albums of 2013. I’m still caught up in Confection, I still think it’s wonderful – but I can see that, though I wanted the world to hear it, the world might not have […]

Sebastien Tellier: Confection

Sebastien Tellier Confection Record Makers If you know Sebastien Tellier’s music you probably know him for his brilliantly layered, butch disco music; a sort of drunk-slick soul-sleaze set of electro-inspired pop tunes, and he’s all Warren Ellis-impersonating-Serge Gainsbourg, or a mountain-man down to tinkle the ivories and sip some brandies while he raises hemlines with […]

Tony Allen: An Autobiography of The Master Drummer of Afrobeat

Tony Allen: An Autobiography of The Master Drummer of Afrobeat Tony Allen with Michael E. Veal Duke University Press Books So, in the end, I was quite disappointed with this book – I had been pretty excited about reading it; the best thing about this book is that it has in no way dulled my […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1707

Disasteradio, Charisma (2010) I’ve always applauded the Disasteradio work ethic and the fact that this guy has his shtick locked down; he’s committed to it – he serves this music, he works hard and this music works for him. He lives it. He’s toured NZ relentlessly and gone out from there to parts of the […]
