The Beets has grown from being a band I liked, but didn’t listen much to, into a band I love and listen a lot to. I am not completely sure what did this, but I think their album combined with long walks and lots of sunshine has something to do with it. The band have recently signed to Hardly Art and have a new album, “Let The Poison Out”, ready for release on October 24th. Here’s a taster from the … →
The duo Big Deal have recently released one of my favourite albums this year, “Lights Out” (MUTE). It’s one of those I can’t find anything wrong with, – just an album that is very close to perfect in my book.

Laura is also a member of another favourite band … →

I think I need to listen to this a few times before I can say if I like it or not, but I am definitely fascinated by the sound and the style. The video is made in collaboration with Alex Southam. The band will go on a small tour for the next months, and you can go to their website to see … →
