Kill The Young - We Are The Birds, We Are The Bees We Are The Telephone Trees 2007-08-09 03:05:27 -
The thinking behind the title of Kill The Young's latest single, We Are The Birds
, We Are The Bees We Are The Telephone Trees
' may be forever a mystery. Indeed, it gives nothing away save for the slight whiff of pretension. So, what I actually got - an accessible and catchy little number destined for NME club nights - was not at all what I expected.
The sound of frontman Tom Gorman's Strokes-esque delivery, harmonising with a tonally identical ascending/descending guitar riff, initially sits awkwardly with the bog-standard rock chorus. But give the single a chance and you'll quickly grow to love it. 'We Are The Birds...' is an exquisite, energetic rock party tune that will sit comfortably in a playlist alongside the likes of last year's I Like The Way You Move' by Bodyrockers.
Despite going down the traditional cop-out route of only offering a couple of remixes as B-sides, Kill The Young manage to defy expectations again with the South Central Extended Re-Ed
Oh No! Oh My! - Between The Devil And The Sea EP 2007-08-08 18:18:04 -
'Between The Devil
And The Sea' is a very welcome stopgap EP from this exciting Nashville band. Mainly comprised of songs written by their old band The Jolly Rogers (that explains the appearace of 'A Pirate's Anthem', then), it still manages to sound like a progression from their self-titled debut album, continuing its breezy twee-pop style whilst building on it. Opener 'Oh Be One' and 'The Party Punch' in particular pile guitars, 'oohs' and anything else they feel like on top of each other, creating the band's lushest-sounding songs yet. As well as their skill for crafting pop hooks (the keyboard riff on 'Our Mouths Were Wet' is all the proof you'll need for that), their other strong point is Greg Barkley's vocals, a distinctive nasal style mastered by Thom Yorke and last seen in Alec Ounsworth of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
There will be few surprises for those familiar with them except perhaps 'The Bike, Sir', a strange but charming one-minute ditty which, like
heartyeah - Traps 2007-08-08 16:11:19 -
It goes without saying that any album that kicks off with a track entitled Erotic Vodka Stories is going to be an interesting listen. Imagine The Young Knives being tortured to a soundtrack of glitchy electronica and you've probably got a good idea what the opening cut on heartyeah's debut album sounds like - and this is one of the more commercial moments
I wasn't expecting the pairing of Warren Myles and Jack Fabian to live up to the hype of their press release heartyeah formed through a love of late 80's shoegazing, chart topping pop and fucking loud house but do these boys deliver on this enticing prospect? hellyeah! Traps
verges into avant-garde/industrial thrash territory at points but it's not without merit even if it might drive you insane at various points. 84 Detroit Throwdowns is truly bizarre, coasting along on a squonky guitar riff it sounds like it was recorded in a cardboard box for twenty pence, beats appear to have been litera
Forms Forms Forms - Ratta Tatta EP Sampler 2007-08-08 13:23:52 -
GIITTV have given these three lads some good press before, but it evidently isn't enough. There's no beating around the bush: Forms
Forms Forms implore, through the accompanying press material to this sampler, the reviewer to give them a chance and propel their currently dawdling bandwagon on to pastures new.
Forms Forms Forms go back to basics, providing straightforward guitar pop with a sense of urgency and electricity in its atmosphere. Opener Three Drains harks back to early Blur in spirit, roaring through its sub-two minute length like a twister through north London. The chirpier A Light Within has a distinctly live, distinctly London feel to it, while Out Of Your Depth is an arresting assault of sketchy guitar, trashy drums and angry vocals.
With that said, the three-piece's claim to be unashamedly pop therefore doesn't hold as much water as they'd have you believe. Forms Forms Forms create guitar songs that don't try to be pretentious, or clever for clever's sak Read more:Sampler
Feist - 1234 2007-08-08 10:13:04 -
Following on from the sexy and sophisticated My Moon, My Man', 1234' is the second single from The Reminder' and it proves to be one of Feist
's most playful cuts. A simply plucked banjo and Feist's warm vocals quietly join in with the introductory acoustic guitar before a whirlwind of trumpets and strings and handclaps send shivers of joy up and down your spine. The last minute is wonderfully exuberant, Feist's vocals are lovingly emotive and when her childlike delivery cracks tenderly as she sings Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes, all you can do is melt.

You may recognise Victoria Bergman's utterly unique voice as that which formerly graced The Concretes. Victoria was singer and songwriter for The Concretes for 11 years up until deciding to leave the band in July 2006. Then again you may recognise Victoria's voice from one of the biggest and most popular singles of last year - namely, Peter Bjorn & John's infectious 'Young Folks' single.
Her backing group is a virtual indie super group, including fellow Peter, Bjorn & John co-horts Bjorn Yttling on various instruments and string arrangements, and John Eriksson on all 'very personal' percussion instruments, marimba and vibraphone(Peter
Monkey, Dont! - Gubbins 2007-08-07 06:12:24 -
In a recent review of Hot Chip's DJ Kicks', Dorian Lynskey described The Warning' as sounding like it was conceived on a glass slide sterilised of joy. While I enjoyed the album for its array of intricate electronic trickery, I also rather agree with this sentiment and felt that the record almost belonged in the title track's Mechanical Music Museum. So what would The Warning' sound like if it was dragged through mud, thrown in the ocean and then left to bake in the sun for hours? I think Monkey, Don't!'s debut (there goes Microsoft's rigid word processor groaning with grammatical errors), is probably as close you can get.
The charmingly titled Gubbins' starts as it means to go on: Confusion' rattles with drum machine loops and fidgety electronica while an electric guitar underpins Mark Robson's smooth (if not terribly distinct), vocals. It's a passable, though lovely track, but things improve with the effects heavy Street of Sound'. Though the a
Dame Shirley Bassey - Get The Party Started 2007-08-07 06:03:04 -
Reviving the golden oldies seems to be a periodic venture. Let's get the old duffers of yesteryear's charts out of their tombs and see if the embalming fluid will cope with a few choice covers done in a modern style. Or some modern songs done in the style of the artist's heyday. Or in the case of Tom Jones' Mousse T collaboration 'Sexbomb' a modern song, in a modern style so painfully of its moment (sometime in the middle of 2000) that within seconds it was overexposed and condemned to a lifetime of wedding receptions and cheesy student music nights.
So rise up Dame Shirley
Bassey! Rise up on a wave powered by The Arctic Monkeys and Marks and Spencers. Rise up covered in sequins whilst the rest of the people at Glastonbury is covered in the soil of Glastonbury itself. There's always been something entertaining about DSB (as her own website now styles her), perhaps the way she does soundtrack some undeniably cool moments of pop and film history (and Moonraker). Or because Read more:Party
Dead 60s, The - Stand Up 2007-08-06 10:42:04 -
Well this was a shock to say the least. The Dead 60's, once known to some as "The credible Hard-Fi", others "What the Ordinary Boys wish they were", this time last year, they seemed like a band with a thoroughly respectable future ahead of them. All that is set to change with the release of this very dated, very American sounding piece of throw away trash. All that comes to mind when listening to this is... why? A great shame.

1990s - You Made Me Like It 2007-08-06 10:37:31 -
The second single from Scotland's 1990s is a huge step on from their debut release See You at the Lights, which although a good tune, didn't ignite in the way that it could have and perhaps should have done.
With this release the power-pop trio may have hit onto a winner. The opening guitars are sharp as a knife, the vocals burst through walls and despite being ever-so-nearly melody shy, the song is extremely catchy. The dance-easy beat will please indie clubbers and the happy go-lucky vibe of the track should make the likes of Xfm sit up and take notice.
The 1990s sound like a band having a lot of fun making their records, and what with an album, Cookies, already available at the local HMV, this single should rack up a few more admirers and propel the band into the hottest of spotlights.
Garbage - Tell Me Where it Hurts 2007-08-10 10:30:01 -
Tell Me Where It Hurts In my middle ear doctor, quick switch it off! Yes it's the return of flame haired Scottish siren Shirley Manson, and her pop/rock-backing band of (bunch of old men)Butch Vig and co. At their best Garbage
weren't a bad little act, emerging amidst the pre Brit pop melee, Manson's vaguely angsty vocals, topped off nicely with an up-tempo synthetic rock sound that threw as many hopeful inoffensive hooks onto a wall as is possible in a three minute single. Take their best song, Stupid Girl, with that clicking beat and slide rule riff, its tale of destructivity: casually built up into a sneering pop beast. But often their mix of pop and rock, over tipped the balance into indulgence and over commerciality. Take the silly Garbage by numbers rocker of Push It, and the over wrought strings of bond theme The World is Not Enough. But Manson's attitude clearly hit a nerve with many females seeking icons of empowerment in a confusing post feminist cultur
Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass 2007-08-10 10:18:55 -
No one really cares about Hip-hop anymore! Strong words for an unknown Internet reviewer such as myself, to utter I'll admit. But It's become old, dull and uninspiring on many levels. Turntableism? It's A parody of itself. If it's not Kid Koala, chances are you've heard it before. Commercial produce? Even Kanye West admits defeat these days. And now this apathy is infecting the underground. When, of all people, Aesop
Rock creates a single that's worthy of a reaction no better than a yawn, you know it's the end.

EUGENE FRANCIS Jr & THE JUNIORS - Poor Me / Kites 2007-08-10 10:10:23 -
Eugene Francis Jr, a Welsh musical wizard and accomplished solo act in his own right, has taken to recruiting six thoroughly accomplished followers, plucked from the cream of the Welsh indie scene. Together they forge a collective super group akin to the Flaming Lips of Cymru. Space age, dream world, left field folktronica to stimulate, invigorate and carry you off on a computerised paper aeroplane of happiness.
Poor Me' runs on an electronic keyboard bubble destined to force it's way through the greater stratospheric consciousness and make the world wondrous in 2007 and beyond, with streets full of people whistling that gleeful jibber. Not wholly unlike Sufjan Stevens magical Chicago', this is perfect enchanting pop at it's finest. Like Wayne Coyne calling his army of foam hands and human teddy bears to a love march down the yellow brick road.
Kites

KelmanThe Albany, 28th Jul 2007 2007-08-09 18:00:44 -
No smoke, free bolly and a greenscreen slideshow of cityscape wide-angles may sound like the pulling kit for your average metrosexual trawlerman, but in the bowels of Great Portland Street's Albany venue, indie act Kelman are putting together an entirely different kettle of fish. Marking the release of their double A-side 'Is This How It Ends? / Postcards' with a free knees-up and forty minute live spot, Wayne Gooderham and chums take the soft-nosed ballistics of last year's 'Loneliness Has Kept Us Alive' LP, strip it down, buff it up and present it like a forecourt full of classic cars with an overnight nitrous conversion. Gooderham's lyrics steadily pick apart the portentous instances in young adult life -- pre-hangover resolutions, post-legover hatred -- while brother Marc and mucker Paul Ragsdale's respective percussion and synths slide around the frontman's guitar as smoothly as molecules in a liquid.
Bookending their set with a couple of blistering instrumentals (
Kate Nash - Made Of Bricks 2007-08-09 16:51:43 -
Upon the surprise success of debut single Foundations' which shot to a respectable #2 spot in the charts, Kate Nash's debut album was brought forward to release months ahead of schedule. Unfortunately this rush to the shelves might have damaged what sounds close to the catchiest indie-pop soundtrack of this summer.'
Firstly, to discard of the comparisons with the quite chavtastic Lily Allen who, despite singing nothing but praise for what she calls the next best thing, is well and truly slipping away into Nash's shadow. And for good reason; Nash's tracks, although in much the same storytelling style, have a sincerity and frankness that feels neither phony nor exaggerated. Too many parallels can be drawn between the two and Made of Bricks
' benefits hugely from a simplistic, wholesome approach to the instrumentals that allow for Nash's ultimately more tuned and pure voice to shine through.
Collectively the album is a 50/50 selection of feel good summer sing-a
GIITTV@ Latitude Festival: Part TwoArcade Fire, Jarvis Cocker, Wilco, National, The, Im From Barcelona 2007-08-09 16:17:33 -
Though it's run by omnipresent festival fat cats Mean Fiddler, the LatitudeFestival
is part of the growing number of smaller, more peaceful festivals in the UK. Set in Henham Park, Suffolk against a backdrop including a lake and multicoloured sheep, the quality of bands this year was extraordinarily high. Only in its second year, Latitude has proven itself to be one of the finest British festivals, thanks to its line-up (both music and comedy, literature and theatre), setting and complete absence of burning portaloos.
Friday
Youthmovies and Jonquil (Music and Film Arena, 1.15pm)
Fittingly considering Latitude's stance as a festival which encompasses music, film, arts, literature and poetry, Oxford bands Youthmovies and Jonquil kick off Friday with a collaborative set with visuals from their favourite teen films. It's an odd choice, as scenes from Dodgeball and Bring It On aren't the kind of films I'd associated with sprawling post-rock. It's questionable whether the Read more:Jarvis

Mr J. Medeiros - Of Gods & Girls 2007-08-09 15:24:58 -
Brought to you by All city Music, the label run by the one and only Mr. Dan Greenpeace, presenter of Xfm's Westwood beating All City Hip-Hop show, comes one of the most life affirming, positive feeling and uplifting hip-hop albums your likely to hear this year.
Mr. Jason Medeiros
, a member of LA Hip-Hop crew The Procussions, is clearly a religious man, with many Gospel edged themes present in his lyrics. However he never uses his rhymes to preach too much or Bible bash it's simply his medium for a positive message and hopeful outlook on the world around him. "We all struggle with change but it won't happen fast God shines through the insecurity on the news casts".
An album jammed with collaborations with many an underground MC, DJ or vocal stalwart, as well as a lion's share of remixes, Mr. J is an artist who likes to squeeze the most out of a recording opportunity. The spine of the album though remains firm to a West coast, laid-back, cruising Miami vibe. The beats are Read more:Girls
Servant, The - How To Destroy A Relationship 2007-08-09 15:20:35 -
Tired of only being able to image what it would have been like if, in another parallel universe, Liam Gallagher is actually a right softie and fronting Starsailor? Mmmm no didn't think you were, but just incase you feel the urge, London four-piece The Servant are here to make that dream a reality, bless 'em.
If your getting a little fed up of band wagon jangley indie scenester bands, your really not going to find much comfort in The Servant. They rarely explore anything close to uncharted territory; more often than not choosing to retreat to the comfort of the Morning Glory and some Performance and Cocktails of their circa 1997 CD collections. What they do, they do well. Sleep Deprivation' would have most likely been a huge hit at the tail end of Brit-Pop, and stands up as a high quality rock song now. Listening to The Servant is a bit like listening to Jet, you think you know it's not too bad but I've just heard this a billion times before and I'm already sick of it. Read more:Relationship
New Pornographers, The - Challengers 2007-08-15 12:13:02 -
As its early reactions prove, 'Challengers' will be a divisive record. Some will see this fourth album as betraying the giddy pop thrills of their earlier albums, while many will see it as the most mature and heartfelt offering of new pornography yet. It's a natural follow-up to 2005's 'Twin Cinema', which leant towards ballads as well as the upbeat indie-rock numbers. Its highlight was 'The Bleeding Heart Show', the melancholy spirit of which is all over 'Challengers', especially in its opening track, the beautiful 'My Rights Versus Yours', which sets the sensitive, emotional tone of the rest of the album perfectly.
'Challengers' offers as many delights as every other New Pornographers album, just different kinds. While there's no instant classic like 'Letter From An Occupant' or 'Sing Me Spanish Techno', we are spoilt with slow-burning love songs. The wonderful 'Unguided', at a whopping six and a half minutes, is their longest song yet, gently building up t
Elliot Minor - Jessica 2007-08-15 09:04:06 -
The York based rock quintet are causing a quiet stir in the alternative scene. ElliotMinor
are embarking on a nationwide tour in October taking in such esteemed venues as King Tut's and the Mean Fiddler.
Jessica
' opens in the style of early Idlewild and breaks into American drenched power-pop/rock that is of grandiose dimensions. Vocal mutli-tracking and harmonising gives the song a big sound which is further emphasised by the strings and piano that sit underneath the heavy guitars and drums in a Muse-esque way.
Elliot Minor may well find favour with the Emo crowd aswell as those who sit on the pop/rock periphery and enjoy guitar noodling and drums that sound bigger than your house.
Dodgems, The - You're Not What You Used To Be 2007-08-15 08:30:20 -
The Dodgems have sprung up from Arctic Monkey territory and look set to do their best to join Alex Turner and co on the national conscience. You're Not What You Used To Be' is a riotous affair with raging guitar riffs and a big bluesey rock and roll sound that is more like the Kings Of Leon than their Sheffield brethren.
This download only single comes complete with b-side Swings And Roundabouts', a buoyant number with twinkly piano and shifts in dynamic that allow the band to experiment with their voice. This is arguably the more experimental of the two songs which finishes with a section, possibly from a demo, that demonstrates that the group have many more tricks up their sleeve than the a-side would lead you to believe.
Currently supporting Jet-alikes The Checks, The Dodgems have a glorious opportunity to raise their profile. If they can explore the more intricate and untried side of their ideas, they've got a good chance of making the most of that chance and beco
Timbaland - The Way I Are 2007-08-15 08:09:43 -
Timbaland
, esteemed US hip-hop producer, releases his latest single The Way I Are' on the back of a tour with Justin Timberlake which has seen sold-out dates at the O2 centre.
The single features Keri Hilson, who appeared with Nelly Furtado on Promiscuous', on vocals, which add a bright subtlety to a track that is repetitive and otherwise unremarkable. Lyrically poor, the backing music that Timbaland has produced is low on drive and feels lazily constructed.
Not a track for those unaccustomed to Timbaland, the song doesn't really go anywhere and drags on from about half way in.
Newton Faulkner - Dream Catch Me 2007-08-15 04:54:05 -
The mellow, harmonious vocals of Surrey's newest, and quite possibly most unique soul sensation, NewtonFaulkner
, are quietly captivating in the first single to be released from debut album Hand Built by Robots.' A certain sense of escapism radiates from DreamCatch
Me', telling a tales of a child-like imagination and freedom.
An effortless and fairly standard riff opens the track, but it's not instrumentals that aim to impress. Instead, Faulkner's powerful voice begins mellow, gradually building into the commanding chorus and impresses tremendously with a mixture of emotive and heartfelt vocals and a raw, gravelly texture.
Dream Catch Me' shows vocal talent in buckets but lacks the uniqueness and innovation that could make the undoubtedly vocally-gifted Faulkner one of British music's best modern soul singers.
Simon BreedCatch, Shoreditch, 10th Aug 2007 2007-08-14 11:09:15 -
Simon
Breed is a light bulb waiting to explode into a million different ideas. His brilliantly witty and cleverly crafted lyrics are matched with his superbly exquisite fretboard foreplay, which casts a mesmerising spell on all those who hear it.
A free gig at Shoreditch's tiny Catch 22 saw a headline set in which Simon was forced to contend with a crowd who, to be more or less polite about it, wouldn't know a talented genius if there was one stood on stage in front of them. For the small enclave gathered around the front of the stage for a half an hour set, nothing else mattered as they sang, quietly, and admired the tall thin ghost of a man stood before them.
Opening with the lusciously raucous Star Of Nepal', a wonderfully written down-tuned piece of acoustic rock, the intimate nature of the gig was not lost on either crowd or performer. I Spy The Spider', a Leonard Cohen-esque a metaphoric tale of two arachnids, provided a dark contrast to the amber-lit plain plast
Candie Payne - One More Chance 2007-08-14 09:41:08 -
Candie Payne
is a breath of fresh air. 'One More Chance' is a gorgeous, light pop song with wondrous instrumentation in the form of strings, keys and soaring backing vocals. Payne's vocal, too, is itself glorious with a fantastic range that puts her well above her female chart contending contemporaries (Kate Nash et al).
Musically breezy and lyrically witty, 'One More Chance' is a stylishly melodic, well produced (Mr. Ronson) and extremely catchy pop song. With justice, Candie Payne should be a huge hit in the near future.

GIITTV@ Field Day- 11th August.Battles, Electrelane, Foals, Fridge, 1990s 2007-08-14 09:40:42 -
Since Field
Day, Its become more important for me to write this review, to set the record straight rather than just the usual "get it in quick" reasons. People have been complaining. A lot. I have seen people describe the day as abject misery, a fucking disgrace and other such slurs. Naturally the promoters, Eat Your Own Ears and Adventures In The Beetroot Fields have responded, though the argument has been weak the main response seeming to be yeah, but the bands were good. So it's about time there was a bit of an alternative opinion on this.
Arriving with plenty of time to get some cash and a drink, we amble over to the main stage to catch Caribou. It's an interesting set up, with the two drum kits facing each other and a guitarist / bassist in the far corner of the little raised plinth on which they all stand. It's as if they're set up for a duel, and that's exactly how things kick off, the two drummers seemingly locked into some kind of Vulcan mind-meld as Read more:August

Ali Love - Secret Sunday Lover 2007-08-14 09:39:05 -
On the back of an indie-cult following, thanks to the success of songs like K-Hole, Ali Love has changed direction somewhat with Secret Sunday
Lover in the build-up to the release of his debut album.
Unashamedly shiny and highly produced, Secret Sunday Lover is a slice of danceable, retro electro-pop. Sounding like a funkadelic song from the Jamiroquai back catalogue, it would serve as a great disco track with syncopated, offbeat rhythms and repetitive sequences.
All in all then, a good outing and an outside bet for a sneaky single
Buzzaldrins, The - Demo 2007-08-14 09:32:19 -
A quintet with Xfm airplay on their CV, The Buzzaldrins hail from Manchester but make music from the coolest parts of outer space.
Real Thing' is a summery indie-pop song with a gentle sprinkling of echoed keyboards, lightly plucked acoustic guitars and soft harmonic countermelodies that float behind the main bulk of the music. Tycoon' is a lively nugget of powerpop, Christian James' vocals sounding sonically like Tim Burgess as he croons Tycooooon' in the song's chorus.
Track 3, an instrumental piece called Reprise' sounds Air-like, relying on a dreamy keyboard sound that the song meanders along on. Think I'm Lazy' is a return to the Real Thing' indie-pop sound and is three minutes of easy to listen to melodies.
The Buzzaldrins have demonstrated with this CD that they have potential to develop their sound and carve out a niche in the genre which has so far gone untapped. It will be interesting to hear how they grow in the next 12 months as they further
SometimeNever - Vs Time and Opportunity 2007-08-18 18:27:59 -
At The Drive-In must feature pretty high on a list of the most influential bands of the last decade: barely a week goes by without a furious new punk rock record citing those purveyors of hardcore punk values as demi-gods, and Sometimenever are no exception.
This concise debut LP is nine tracks in length, but with a hellish intro of dissonant strings, marching band drums and awkward noise, as well as a similarly uncomfortable vocal interlude buried later on, the album is over quicker than expected, and packs less of a punch because of it.
Vs Time and Opportunity
' shines most when Sometimenever elicit the angry, snotty spirit worthy of their icons. Standout tracks Mr Park's Hand' and All My Favourite People are so Very Uncool' are all terse snatches of guitar and taut, scratchy drums, clawing vocals ripping into an image-obsessed music industry that's stifling any creative and innovative output of note, while echoes of Incubus linger around Graduation Day' and
TellisonThe Cavern, 19th Jul 2007 2007-08-18 18:16:03 -
Tellison are here to show us all why everyone who's seen them play just won't shut up about how effin amazing these Hammersmith based Kingston scenesters are, and boy did they manage it!
Tellison are joined on stage for one of their fledgling gigs as a five piece by Ben from Encyclopedia (who had not long since finished playing the support slot with his rather fabulous band. Blue Peter badge for the hardest working man of the night! ), who added some extra juicy guitar and keys to the already almighty sound.
They come at you like a sledgehammer with short sharp shock punk guitars and pinpoint precise harmonies, like a Sweeney Todd barbershop quartet. Travailing the spectrum between Biffy Clyro, The Automatic and Get Cape post hardcore fight pop, as it's becoming known and Tellison deserve to become the kings of it. As fascinating and transfixing for their pop sensibilities, harmonies, clap-alongs and catchy riffs as for their punk ethos, aggression and shouting. A p
