Billy McCarthy’s vocals strain, as though he has been waiting for decades to get this particular point across. Then he falls silent while a clambering tambourine, rubbing drums and a twining digital lag, punctuates this pre-wedding jitter unfurling of a song, ‘Chapel Song’. A Hawk and a Hacksaw having a digital debate with The Morning [...]

Atmospheric folk intro led sauntering indie supplies this South London quintet with a delving, mildly mystical and hearty opener, ‘Pigeon’ to an explorative debut EP. Myles McCabe’s achingly rising Chris Wall (Air Traffic) veined vocals bounces off the controlled percussion clatter of Josh Taffle to give an endearing, lost impression, as they hit out at [...]

An eerily ambient hand clapping accompaniment paves the way for the Regina Spektor being interrupted by Sheryl Crow vocals, as the expressive Scarlette Fever ponders the meaning of significant others, ‘Hour Of Sunshine (Remix by Cenzo Townsend)’. The versatility of the vocals is celebrated proudly here. They can take on a low-key pleading touch when [...]

It’s little more than a few notes into the chiming percussion and trotting guitar led instrumental to opener, ‘Must You Make Eyes At Me Now’. That you realise how much this band, once voted twelfth greatest Scottish band of all time, have been missed during their lengthy hiatus. When the strained and genuine vocals of [...]

Chiming orchestral pondering with a playful pop backdrop and the sincere low-key cry of Ketil Kinden Endresen sets the scene for a reflective glide, ‘Golden Years’. Nordic nostalgia contrasts with a rumbling rhythm base, allowing part of the mind to wander and the other bit to focus on a pressing matter. More bass is added [...]

Mike Patton’s new album is another film score. Kind of. It’s “music from the film and inspired by the book,” which from my understanding means that it’s music from the score and the stuff that was left on the cutting room floor. Solitude of Prime Numbers is an Italian film that looks like it won’t [...]

Pitching a stall between the vocal quirkiness of Bjork and the searching tones of Alanis Morissette, backed up by a stretching guitar push and toe tapping percussive rubs to illustrate the longing on display, ‘Lost Without You’. Lawson combines aching tendencies with a soothing, yet sombre touch that builds upon a rhythmic platform, providing for [...]

Rhythmically trotting percussion leads up to the stirring, reflective folk tinged vocals of Oregonian Laura Gibson, ‘La Grande’. Mysticism and hope meet like strangers at a saloon to give this mildly morose epic a bit of spice. Western spiked poetic lyricism complements the ambient, pop and folk conjoining instrumental approach. Gibson ends 2011 with promise [...]

A rustic orchestral kick and winding strings leads into the soaring soulful and folk touched vocals of multi-instrumentalist Anjie McClusky, ‘A Kiss’. Her straining stammering voice is not used to it’s full potential and gets submerged in the uneven clang and clatter of the various string and accordion inclusive instrumental. Anger is striving to get [...]

Opera Riparata (Fixed Opera) is a recomposition of 40 famous Operas, following the contemporary framework of digital remix (cutting, breaking down, juxtaposing and overlapping). The Fixed Opera implies two different parts: studio session and live performance. In the first step, Okapi works on parallel paths mashing up the 40 Operas in short portions of 1’11″ [...]

Hounding horn fuel, big-sounding ska frivolity is topped off by the fuzzy grizzly, garage rock skirting vocal pounce of Mark Austin, “Black Keys”. Throbbing percussion leads nicely into a churning “No One Knows” era Queens of the Stone Age instrumental stomp. Yearning homesickness is a clear lyrical message that fights through the rhythmically raucous accompaniment. [...]

Singer, guitarist and urban poet, Khaliq puts in a sincere and sterling display at reaching out to highlight the problems of loneliness. This wistful West Midland [...]
