I’m Your Man early June, here’s another new moony reflection. HERE IT COMES (THE ROAD) LET’S GO is a melancholic daydream about losing yourself out in this troubled world. Atmospheric, cinematic and symphonic. It’s vintage Spiritualized romanticism.

KRISTIN HERSH Launches Another Groovy Punch From Her New Solo Album – Here’s ‘NO SHADE IN SHADOW’…

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

30 July 2018

Supreme singer/songwriter KRISTIN HERSH will release her brand new solo album POSSIBLE DUST CLOUDS October 5. In a press statement, Hersh revealed that: “I usually play all the instruments on my solo records, essentially the sound of having no friends, but sociopaths can’t realize their potential without people to work out their grievances on and this record is a freakin’ sociopath. So I invited my friends to the party I wanted to hear. Not a live record but an alive record.”

On earlier shared new tracks Lax and Breathe In the former Throwing Muses frontwoman already showed loud and clear what she actually means with “the new album will be not a live record but an alive record.” Two turbulent crackers with a terrifically vivid impact. And third new song NO SHADE IN SHADOW has that same groovy punch, ardent grinta and vivacious spirit. A mid-tempo banger that has an immediate impact on the movements
of your head, your feet and the rhythm of your heartbeat. Capture the electrical grit right here…

TODAY’S YESTERDAY ALBUM – ‘Bizarro’ – 2nd LP by THE WEDDING PRESENT

Remarkable albums from the past…

‘Bizarro’ by THE WEDDING PRESENT
Released: 23 October 1989
Second longplayer

ALL MUSIC review: “The Wedding Present’s second proper studio album, ‘Bizarro’ cut down a bit on the frenetic jangle the band was known for in its early days and replaced it with healthy doses of darkness and power. Adding some fuzzy, crunchy distortion to give the guitars some hefty impact, slowing the tempos down to speeds that allow vocalist David Gedge to squeeze more heartbroken despair and bleak sarcasm out of every line, and generally upping their
game in every way, the album is the fullest realization of the Wedding Present’s sound yet.”

Score: 4/5 – Full review here.

THE CORAL Released Their Second Album ‘MAGIC AND MEDICINE’ 15 Years Ago…

Going back in sonic history looking for memorable albums…

27 July 2018

Band: THE CORAL

Album: MAGIC AND MEDICINE – their 2nd LP

Released: 28 July 2003 – 15 years ago

ALL MUSIC review: “Mixing equal bits Merseybeat melody, ragged “Nuggets” energy, and pure rock nostalgia, the Coral create one of the 21st century’s finest odes to 1960s and 1970s garage rock. Not since the La’s has a band more convincingly aped an era, and like that album, there’s not a cringe-worthy moment in sight. Everything’s in its right place, one might say. If the lads were accused of being too bombastic and experimental on their debut, here they reign in their influences and just stick with the program of creating rocking tunes.”
Score 3.5/5 – Full review here
