Single Reviews

  • Liars: 'Scissor'

    Liars have never been an easy band to love.

     
  • The Boy Who Trapped The Sun: 'Home' EP

    Colin MacLeod is part of the extremely soft voiced wave of whispering Scottish indie that has accrued a strong pedigree.

     
  • Hexicon: 'Something Strange Beneath The Stars'

    Hexicon is songwriting duo Michael Collins and Paul Rains - who also moonlight as Allo Darlin - plus multi-instrumentalist Thomas Allard.

     
  • Gorillaz: 'Stylo'

    On their new single, this remarkably durable virtual group have created a sound that harks back to the sound of the 80s synthesiser standard.

     
  • Young Guns: 'Winter Kiss'

    “This winter kiss has left me poisoned”, groans Gustav Wood.

     
  • Teenagersintokyo: 'Peter Pan'

    “I get the feeling that there’s someone watching over me”, sings Samantha Lim in this convincing and claustrophobic electro-pop jaunt.

     
  • Peter Gabriel: 'The Book Of Love'

    Gabriel has always striven to be a pioneering musical innovator, from his early days with Genesis right through to his championing of world music and his curatorship of the WOMAD festival.

     
  • Marina & The Diamonds: ‘Hollywood’

    While the band name might sound like the indie version of a 1960s girl-group, Marina & The Diamonds is actually just Greek-Welsh singer-songwriter Marina Diamond.

     
  • Plastiscines: ‘Bitch’

    No, not a Meredith Brooks cover / flashback to the ‘90s. While this ‘Bitch’ may also be a guitar-laden anthem, it’s a fervent response to Plastiscines’ male detractors and a snapshot of France’s ‘bebes rockers’.

     
  • Hot Chip: 'One Life Stand'

    Indie-dance crossover geek-gods Hot Chip return imminently with their fourth studio album, 'One Life Stand', and this titular first single from said record is unmistakably them.
