Cellar Doors. California’s newest too-cool-for-school psychedelic rock band. Is it possible for an album to be more inconsequential? An album so pointless, they didn’t even bother giving it a title. Not too bad, not too […]
Japanese House Debut is a Hipsters Wet Dream
Although it’s only February, I must give credit and say that the Japanese House might be one of the most interesting projects I’ve ever this year. We are dealing with a very chilled-out solo electronic […]
Ladytron’s Self-Titled New Album Lacks Immersion
Ladytron’s new album, the expertly-titled Ladytron, is not the tour-de-force return-to-form that everyone keeps saying it is. It’s a good album, that much is true, but it is not Light and Magic or 604. I […]
Rifffest Hypnotises the Lending Room, 26.01.19
What a fantastic night. The atmosphere was electric, the crowd was smiling the whole time. And why? Because Bloodhound is the best opening band one could possibly ask for. They took the heavy psychedelia of […]

RAYE Brings a Whirlwind of Emotion to The Wardrobe, 02.11.18
What can you say about Raye that hasn’t been said before? Frankly, a lot. Compared to the opening act, Kara Marni, Raye was extraordinarily versatile and talented. It was like Led Zeppelin following up a […]
MØ Creates Lush Worlds of Beauty in New Album, Forever Neverland
MØ’s latest record is pretty interesting as far as pop music goes, but I wonder if it’s a step in the wrong direction for the Danish singer. I’ll say this though: it’s not as good […]
Disturbed Release New Album, Evolution
Let’s start with what this album does right, because there isn’t much to say in that regard. The main attraction is frontman David Draiman’s voice, which seems to have only improved with time. This is […]
Ghostface Killah Releases New Album, The Lost Tapes
The Lost Tapes is the latest offering of classic 90’s New York-styled hip-hop from arguably the best member of the Wu-Tang Clan. It’s fantastic. A collaboration with a producer named Big Ghost, Lost Tapes sounds […]
You Me At Six Tries to Impress With New Album, VI
You Me At Six’s sixth album, VI, is a pretty good record, but not as good as the old ones. That about sums it up. The band is continuing their shift away from pop-punk in […]
