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…
Hello and welcome to Week 46 of the Music Roundup! This week's article will take you through some review of the latest albums, including Lana Del Ray and Justin Bieber! We will also take a deep dive into shoegaze and the highlights of the genre! 10 Songs on Repeat: 1. Farewell Transmission by Songs: Ohia…
Hello and welcome to Week 45 of the Music Roundup! 10 Songs on Repeat: 1. Spa by Icona Pop and Sofi Tukker (2020)- A bit of a dumb, fun song really, but this team-up between the Swedish and Australian house duos is a dance-floor filler through and through with a silly, novelty concept. 2. Sleep…
Welcome to Week 44 of the Music Roundup and the 3rd edition for 2021! This week, although there is no feature article, I have something special for you! The first ever 10/10 album! I hope you enjoy this week’s roundup and let me know your thoughts in the comments below. 10 Songs on Repeat: 1.…
10 Songs on Repeat: 1. Riot Rhythm by Sleigh Bells (2010)- A mixture of sugar-sweet pop hooks and hard-hitting noise rock riffs, Sleigh Bells often to me feel like a precursor to modern hyper-pop, with Riot Rhythm being a particularly pleasing and addictive banger. 2. Texas Rezinkoff by Mitski (2014)- There are many out there (myself included)…
10 Songs on Repeat: 1. My Delirium by Ladyhawke (2009)- To start the year, let's pay tribute to this 2009 alternative rock classic. Great vocals, a damn catchy hook and an overall memorable song have earned its status as a classic. 2. High Low by Dorsal Fins (2016)- Chaotic, noisy and endlessly fun, High Low is an…
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. Cold by Father (2015)- Translated from Korean, this artist belongs to a genre known as deathdream, a sound utilised by a small collection of artists on Bandcamp. Combining the worlds of vaporwave and drone, Cold is the opening track to Father's 2015 record White Death (again, translated from Korean), a gorgeous yet hauntingly devastating…
10 Songs on Repeat: 1. Valleys by Working Men's Club (2020)- The opener to the British band's impressive debut sets the tone for the record well, demonstrating their smooth brand of dance-punk through driving bass, swirling synths and a confident performance from frontman Sydney Minsky-Sargeant. 2. Desire Lines by Deerhunter (2010)- My interest in this…
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…
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,…
