FKA TWIGS - LP1 - ALBUM REVIEW

September 14, 2014

In her two previous records, the rather prosaically titled EP1 and EP2, the London-based singer and dancer Tahliah Barnett has more than hinted at the potential to release a monster debut album under her moniker of FKA Twigs. In LP1 the promise is signed, sealed and delivered. Here comes one of those artists brimming with such confidence and verve that you wonder how so one so young can be blessed with such talent.

MANIPULATOR - TY SEGALL - ALBUM REVIEW

September 13, 2014

The charms of this prolific lo-fi San Francisco garage rocker and his "wall of fuzz" largely eluded this reviewer until he released the acoustic album "Sleeper" which literally camped in the CD. Part of the problem is the scale of Segall's musical abundance and prolific output which is off putting in terms of keeping up with his musical twists and turns.

ROBERT PLANT - LULLABY AND... THE CEASELESS ROAR - ALBUM REVIEW

September 13, 2014

Ten solo albums in, and the "Robert Plant can do no wrong" school of thought receives yet another thumping affirmation with his new album "lullaby and ...The Ceaseless Roar". While it might have been the musical Americana of his collaboration with Alison Krauss that gave his career a significant bounce this new album picks up on the more eclectic nature of 2010's "Band of Joy". Having listened to it for a week on the NPR stream it is one of his finest offerings.

RYAN ADAMS - SELF TITLED - ALBUM REVIEW

September 13, 2014

Ryan Adams self titled 14th album is further evidence that the South Carolina troubadour has not entirely managed to resolve some of the erratic quality issues which have plagued the more substance dependent phases of his career. It appears that Adams was on course to release what was essentially "Ashes & Fire Part II" an album produced by Glyn Johns that he scrapped at the eleventh hour as "too sad to release".

AVI BUFFALO - AT BEST CUCKOLD - ALBUM REVIEW

September 12, 2014

Avi Buffalo's singer songwriter Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg seems unable to write songs without including dangerous hints of melody and hooks so big they should be hanging in the local butcher. This reviewer fell in love with the heartwarming summer fun of the bands debut four long years ago and has been checking on progress for a new record ever since.
