Little Comets- Life Is Elsewhere Album Review

Little Comets prove life really is elsewhere as they move on from their conventional indie beginnings into a land of diverse influences. Unorthodox afro-beat structures accompanied by catchy choruses give the band a new direction which could expose them to a world of radio recognition. Optimistic melodies disguise the sombre lyrics on songs such as Violence Tonight and Bayonne whereas Jennifer and Little Opus mirror more of the upbeat intricate guitar loops. Robert Cole’s idiosyncratic vocals seem to find a more comfortable setting against an energetic backdrop of instrumental execution. A mature progression full of exhilarating charisma and charm, Little Comets are finally soaring.

King Krule- Rock Bottom Single Review

King Krule gives Mike Skinner a run for his money with this haunting portion of poetic self-loathing. Reminiscent of Joe Strummer’s prettier moments, Archie Marshall’s violent lyrics are accompanied by raw melodic guitars and rush of adrenaline inducing drums and base beats. Full of beauty and angst, Rock Bottom lures you into a sense of optimism and melancholy all in the space of 4 minutes.

Everything Everything- Cough Cough Single Review

‘Yeah, so, umm… wait a second’ chant Everything Everything as they introduce their new flawless indie dance floor filler ’Cough Cough’.  With frantic keyboards, peddled bass riff’s and pulsating drum beats to make any stiff limbed pindie jerk their hips, THIS is the long awaited return of one of UK’s most unique acts. 

Peace- Bloodshake Single Review

Emerging from the dark crooks of Birmingham, buzz band of the moment Peace’s new single is conflictingly colourful and ambitious. The Foals-esque jagged guitar riffs and bongo infused drums lead you into a chaotic warped realm of indie guitar psychosis.  Garish and bold, this is Peace but it certainly isn’t quiet.
