We saw it coming, Panda Bear‘s Person Pitch is the big cd this week. Old samples and loops swirling on and on and on with reverb heavy vocals done in that old school Beach Boys manner. The hype surrounding the album on blogs and forums at the moment may be rather heavy but that is [...]

Apples in Stereo‘s new album New Magnetic Wonder is very well recorded. Parts of the album have so many layers and different instruments you almost wonder how they can fit that many little instruments into such a tiny CD, but they pulled it off quite well. All in all the album gets the thumbs up [...]

I wish i could say the same for Bloc Party‘s A Weekend In The City. I’m not too sure what exactly has happened since the release of Silent Alarm but what ever happened it wasn’t good. Their new album is boring and dull. The instrumentation gets the silver medal if Silent Alarm got the gold. [...]

Bloc Party has a new secret song, streaming from a Canadian website. Interestingly enough, the song happens to be titled secret as well.
