There was so much anticipation! After the monumental success of their 2018 album ‘Trench’, the sky was the limit for Twenty One Pilots. But, they barely lifted off, instead nose-diving with their latest album, ‘Scaled and Icy’. As a fan, I have to be honest, this album was immensely disappointing. Now, I must start by…
Hey guys. It turns out that if you don't follow your schedule for publishing weekly, you get a massive backlog of albums you need to review and playlists you need to cover. So, over the next few weeks, I will try and catch up with what I haven't published. This week will be the albums…

Hi guys. I know it has been a very long time since I wrote my last article, so I will first and foremost apologise. However, over the last few months I have been busier than ever. Whilst I have certainly been listening to music, a packed schedule has prevented me from putting those thoughts onto…
Hello and welcome to Week 48 of the Music Roundup! 10 Songs on Repeat: 1. Job's Lament by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (2021)- The first instrumental cut from the latest Godspeed You record is a typical and lengthy post-rock jam, but the band's talents ensure that it is not a boring affair. 2. Faceshopping by…

Welcome to 2021! There is so much exciting music to discover and explore in 2021, but to conclude 2020 I look back at my top 10 songs of 2020 and some other reviews I couldn't resist! 10 Songs on Repeat: 1. Peppers and Onions by Tierra Whack (2020)- With the back-to-back bangers Whack has released,…
10 Songs on Repeat: 1. Floating by Julee Cruise (1989)- Found on the singer's 1989 masterpiece, floating (like most songs on the album) is closely linked to the Twin Peaks TV show. And much like the show, Floating is an enchanting, mysterious and strangely unsettling piece of music. 2. Hurt by Arlo Parks (2020)- A song that puts depression front and…
10 Songs on Repeat: 1. I Troldskog Faren Vild by Ulver (1994)- This Norwegian band is about as genre-defying as they come, working in genres as far-ranging as black metal and synth-pop. However, I am featuring the opener from their 1994 black metal debut Bergtatt, a surprisingly accessible affair that is an excellent place for anyone looking…
10 Songs on Repeat: 1. '96 Neve Campbell by clipping: with Cam and China (2020)- Is this hip-hop trio capable of making a bad song? I think not. On this latest, menacing track, Daveed takes a backseat to the two women on the track. 2. Pump It Up by Elvis Costello and The Attractions (1978)-…
10 Songs on Repeat: 1. Rapture by Declan Mckenna (2020)- Another great track of the British singer-songwriter's latest LP, Rapture delves into the world of 90s inspired neo-psychedelia complete with a catchy chorus, crashing production and a confident vocal performance from Mckenna. 2. feel away by slowthai with James Blake and Mount Kimbie (2020)- For a rapper…
Sorry for being a bit slack lately with weekly updates, so to make up for it here is a slightly longer double feature. 10 Songs on Repeat (Week 30): 1. My Own Soul's Warning by The Killers (2020)- The American alternative rock band's trend of great singles and average albums continues with their latest Springsteen…
10 Songs on Repeat: 1. You Can Have It All by Yo La Tengo (2000)- This classic from American alternative rockers Yo La Tengo is a simple, hypnotic and sweet song, dominated by the catchy, panning vocal harmony, giving the song an incredibly intimate atmosphere. 2. Model Village by IDLES (2020)- Based off the singles,…
