Francis Harold and the Holograms
Making Fear A Reality From the Arizona desert rises Francis Harold, an unidentified human being who could well be the mayor of middle earth. With his band The Holograms, Harold makes vicious noise rock, the type that leaves a poisonous sting and a bloody line across your chest. Harold’s character is that of a twisted […]

Chew Lips- Unicorn
Chew Lips- Unicorn 7/10 Florence Welch was the British indie darling of 2009, but in 2010 it’s the turn of Tigs, Chew Lips’ discerning lead vocalist. But unlike Welch, Tigs is one member of a group that prefers to be labeled a band; Chew Lips is not a solo project. Unicorn is the London trio’s […]

Holly Miranda- The Magician’s Private Library 7/10 “Holly Miranda’s past is echoed in her songbook but it never takes control, no one song stands out but they all fit together like a jigsaw.

So So Modern- Crude Futures 7/10 Enduring and endearing Wellington band So So Modern has finally released their debut album after six years and as many EPs. Capturing their energy and enthusiasm, the apocalyptic-themed Crude Futures develops their recent style of long, drawn-out, abstracted and fragmented post punk/math rock songs.

The Soft Moon
I Want To Stop Crying Here’s a wee gem delivered direct from San Francisco, in the vein of New Order, The Chills or Bauhaus. Luis Vasquez sends a flood of ’80s inspired doom forward in time, unloading a brisk but encompassing dose of your favourite bygone heroes. His first prescription filled is a 7″ titled […]

Holly Miranda- The Magician’s Private Library
Holly Miranda- The Magician’s Private Library 7/10 Holly Miranda’s story is quite a colourful one. The daughter of devoted Christians, she spent her childhood under the gaze of god and was banned from engaging in popular culture.

Nice Face
Jerking Off With Jesus Any band backed by Sacred Bones Records deserves immediate attention and Nice Face is the latest from the label’s talented gene pool to capture my imagination. In the past the label has introduced me to Crocodiles, Moon Duo and Grass Widow. Nice Face is the project of Ian Magee, a New […]
