Lisa-Kainde and Naomi Diaz are back with a brilliant new single and as ever, their music is at once ethereal and earthy, made for hearts and dancefloor alike. ‘Moshpit’ comes from the most recent album, ‘Offering’. They go from strength to strength, giving us steely beats, but so heavenly in harmonies. http://www.ibeyimusic.com

Sunday Hymn: The Avalanches- Frontier Psychiatrist
The Avalanches’ debut ‘Since I Left You’ is still an absolute doozy. I like this track very much. You have to admire a band who can fuse old western soundtracks with kitschy jazz and Francine Fishpaw (Divine) from ‘Polyester’ It’s an absolute banger. I worked in retail in Glasgow for a long time, and toContinue reading “Sunday Hymn: The Avalanches- Frontier Psychiatrist”
Five Perfect Pavement Songs
I woke up with Spit On A Stranger this morning as an earworm and it’s both caustic and beautiful, so here’s that very song along with four other beauties. Don’t say I’m not good to you.
Peaches Is Back!!!
And she seems to be tackling the effects of menopause in this video. Ha ha! I always thought she was a superhero and this proves it. Excellent video, catchy track too.
Should’ve Been A Hit: Addis Black Widow- Innocent
There was a period in the mid-nineties when De La Soul’s positive hip hop permeated through to other artists. There was the cheesy but loving (Arrested Development, Dream Warriors’ later era) and the more credible (Jurassic 5). They mined the sunnier side of funk jams and yet the lyrics were still spicy. So it wasContinue reading “Should’ve Been A Hit: Addis Black Widow- Innocent”
Lost In Music : Holy Motors – Hellishly Hot
The recent single from the Estonian indie band is a slinky little minx, with shimmering Cure-esque synth, Eliann Tulve’s typically yearning vocals and twangy guitar. It’s atmospheric and sleepy, but there’s a current of unease, like night sweats. “Hellishly Hot”, indeed. A new album, full of sadness and tarnished dreams, is forthcoming, for warmth throughoutContinue reading “Lost In Music : Holy Motors – Hellishly Hot”
Five Cure Gems
I should really be at The Cure Summer Session show in Edinburgh today, but wondered if they’d live up to how I imagine them. I’ve been into the band since around 1984, so it’d be partially nostalgia. Saying that, the last album is wonderful too. £85 for two bands I’d like to see isn’t reallyContinue reading “Five Cure Gems”
Kate Bush’s Influences
Pics of Kate Bush: John Carder Bush J W Waterhouse, ‘The Lady of Shallot’. Kate Bush was always upfront in her literary and artistic influences. She essayed The Brontes of course, but also Tennyson, Shakespeare and John William Waterhouse. Her Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic was unique in a time of punk, prog and so on, but theContinue reading “Kate Bush’s Influences”
Sunday Hymn
Image: Magnet Katie Jane Garside in her Ophelia prime is like my sister from another mister. This video and song is my current Sunday hymn. Even Beavis on ‘Beavis and Butthead’ said of her, “I think this chick could relate to me”. He was wrong, but how adorable. Enjoy.
Lost In Music: Bauhaus- Largatija Nick
With bonus ‘Antonin Artaud ‘ and an extremely unresponsive “too cool for school” audience live at the ‘Oxford Road Show ‘, this is Bauhaus at their most feral. Who else could reference The Theatre of Cruelty, the Devil, and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch? Compare and contrast with the conceptual, very eighties video and ask yourself, whyContinue reading “Lost In Music: Bauhaus- Largatija Nick”
