Album Review: Los Campesinos! ‘All’s Well That Ends’

August 19, 2010 by Lachy 3 Comments

Following their stunning album ‘Romance Is Boring’, which is well and truly in contention for my favourite album of this year, and a couple of lineup changes, Los Campesinos! have released a short four song EP, ‘All’s Well The Ends’, that is strictly fan-only.

Album Review: Arcade Fire ‘The Suburbs’

July 26, 2010 by Lachy 0 Comments

I’ve come to realise that if I constantly compare Arcade Fire’s music to their debut album, I am only ever going to be disappointed by the new music of one of my favourite ever bands. For me personally, I don’t think anything they ever do will top that stunning debut record. Therefore, I’m going to […]

Album Review: Cloud Control ‘Bliss Release’

Cloud Contol have taken their time with this debut album. I remember seeing them supporting Josh Pyke early last year, by which point they already had an EP, a hit single (Buffalo Country), and a series of acclaimed live sets under their belt. Although I definitely enjoyed their support act set, I never would have […]

Album Review: The Lucky Wonders ‘Thirteen O’Clock’

April 25, 2010 by Lachy 1 Comment

The Lucky Wonders are songwriting duo Jessie Vinitia and Emma Royle, along with Brent Calcutt on bass and Anastassijah Scales on drums. From Byron Bay, they have recently released their debut album, ‘Thirteen O’Clock’. It is unashamedly emotional folky pop music, but that’s exactly why you have to love it.
