Posted on March 8, 2025 by JL

8 March 2025

Artist: DAVID GILMOUR
Who: The former guitarist/voice/songwriter of
the iconic Pink Floyd with who made/released
14 albums.

Solo Debut LP
DAVID GILMOUR
1978

All Music: “Throughout the album Gilmour sounds like he’s having some jamming
fun with his compatriots in his own particular blues-meets-the Home Counties style,
adding keyboard overdubs here and there (his efforts are passable, but it is
understandable why he’s known for his guitar work first and foremost).”

LUCK AND STRANGE
Sept 2024

The Telegraph (English newspaper): “The songs are cerebrally bold but really get
going when Gilmour finishes singing and launches into ambitious codas that remind
us what an extraordinarily gifted guitarist he is, with impeccable touch and tone that
can shift sublimely from tender melodiousness to flaming rock-outs.”

Debut Album
THE YEAR OF HIBERNATION
2011

Under The Radar said: “The Year of Hibernation occupies many spaces at once,
a seeming contradiction that makes better use of its incongruous pieces than most
records do of its complementary pieces. The result is both mournful and joyful, but
totally enjoyable”.

February 2025

Pitchfork says: “On a record combining driving rhythms, cinematic synths,
and snatches of home videos, Trevor Powers sketches a gothic frontier strewn

Ohio‘s rock veterans GUIDED BY VOICES, led by singer-songwriter-maestro Robert Pollard must be the hardest working band ever. Two weeks ago, they launched their 41st album

SUEDE – Then And Now

Posted on February 17, 2025 by JL

17 February 2025

Legendary English music weekly Melody Maker named London’s fresh glam and glitter
outfit SUEDE, fronted by the charismatic androgyne Brett Anderson, the best new band
in Britain in April 1992, a month before they released their debut single THE DROWNERS,
a first sign of alt-indie pop bliss.

A year later, Suede showed why MM was absolutely right when they
shared their astonishing Self-Titled Debut LP with the world.

After their 2nd masterstroke (even better than their debut) DOG MAN STAR, musical orchestrator and guitarist Bernard Butler left but it didn’t break up the band. On the contrary, Suede survived with swirling style and vivid verve.

They released 7 more albums (from okay ones to a couple of great ones)
so far with Autofication as their most recent one. It came out in 2022.
