Album Review: Steering By Stars ‘Cables’

July 20, 2010 by Lachy 0 Comments

Adelaide quartet Steering By Stars are perhaps far too easily dismissed under the umbrella term of ‘post-rock’, a label which will immediately divide music fans before they have even heard the artist in question.

Album Review: Jónsi ‘Go’

I find I’m having less and less time for album reviews lately unfortunately. I’m very busy at the moment and album reviews are definitely the most time consuming posts I write on Pluck– I only feel comfortable writing a review after repeated listens of the album, and even then it can be hard to accurately […]
