8 May 2008

Get ready, kids, it’s New Morrissey Single of the Fortnight time! And this one’s a stormer, all taut and driving, and laced with that familiar austerity which, you suspect, hides a well of uncertainty somewhere just below the surface. And it’s got these…

Mark E Smith with Austin Collings - Renegade: The Lives and Tales of Mark E Smith

Mark E Smith with Austin Collings - Renegade: The Lives and Tales of Mark E Smith

(4 stars)8 May 2008

MUSIC BIOGRAPHY (Viking) The real joy of Mark E Smith and The Fall has always been expecting the unexpected. His music has always stuck to a rigid formula but is somehow never formulaic, and he’s survived every British musical subculture since punk…

Indómitos

Indómitos

(4 stars)8 May 2008

ROCK Nice’n’Sleazy, Glasgow, Sat 19 Apr From the moment they take the stage with a dry ‘goodnight, we are Indómitos’, to when they amble off the stage having delivered a pitch-perfect set of rattling, rumbling and reverb-drenched garage punk, it’s…

Jay Haze - Love

Jay Haze - Love & Beyond

(3 stars)8 May 2008

TECHNO SOUL (TurningSpork Records) Jay Haze aka Fuckpony is one of few producers providing something unique in the minimal scene besides Ricardo Villalobos. Love focuses on the sci-fi house sound ‘of the now’. The standouts on the double vinyl version…

Madonna - Hard Candy

Madonna - Hard Candy

(4 stars)8 May 2008

POP (Warner Bros) While acts much younger than her construct entire careers around trading on former glories, Madonna clearly doesn’t give two figs for nostalgia. Eleven albums on and pop’s most famous magpie and queen of reinvention is as sonically…

Parka - Attack of the Hundred Yard Hardman

Parka - Attack of the Hundred Yard Hardman

(2 stars)8 May 2008

BAGGY (Jeepster) One day, that baggy comeback is going to arrive, and will a band like Parka be leading the charge? Probably not. For all their verve and enthusiasm, the Glaswegian group (now based in London) sound just like the times they emulate…

Session A9 - Bottlenecks and Arm-Breakers

Session A9 - Bottlenecks and Arm-Breakers

(5 stars)8 May 2008

FOLK (RAJ Records) Session A9 are not the only four-fiddle ‘supergroup’ on the Scottish folk scene, but like both Blazin’ Fiddles and Fiddlers’ Bid, they have evolved their own distinctive approach to the format. That sense of individuality is down to…

Televised Crimewave

Televised Crimewave

(3 stars)8 May 2008

GARAGE ART-PUNK Fast @ the Bongo Club, Edinburgh, Fri 18 Apr No band of skinny-jean art-punk terriers wants to appear like they’re trying too hard, but that doesn’t work when your audience are simultaneously reclining away from looking like they give…

The Heavy Circles - The Heavy Circles

The Heavy Circles - The Heavy Circles

(3 stars)8 May 2008

ROCK/POP (Dynamite Child) Twenty years after the funky quirks of ‘What I Am’, Edie Brickell’s voice retains its girlish appeal: dreamy soaring, slacker tantrums and all. This time round, though, it’s her husband Paul Simon’s son Harper who is setting…

The Phantom Band

The Phantom Band

(3 stars)8 May 2008

ROCK Is This Music? @ 13th Note, Glasgow, Thu 17 Apr Back in early 2005, few people were shouting about Mother and the Addicts, ditto De Rosa in early 2006, yet both of these bands went on to promptly release cracking debut albums through Chemikal…
