This week we couldn’t quite catch up with all the new music, but here are two albums we enjoyed. More is coming next week. Albert Hammond Jr. – Momentary Masters Albert Hammond Jr.’s second album sounds much like the Strokes but Julian Casablancas’ baritone and snarl is dearly missed. (Apple[…]
Out this week Evvol – Eternalism Evvol is a Berlin-based duo whose music is difficult to classify, even more on their second album than on their first one, which they recorded as Kool Thing. Dark synth pop maybe comes closest, but better give it a listen yourself on Apple Music[…]
This weeks releases include Tame Impala, Highly Suspect, Clairity, MS MR and The Chemical Brothers.

The Nashville band Bully is preparing a highly anticipated release this June and front woman Alicia Bognanno visited our favorite record store Rough Trade to select some records (apparently she didn’t have to buy them in the end). It’s finally here: since SXSW Elke and I have been anticipating Mackenzie[…]
Gazelle Twin, who released the best album of 2014 according to me and The Quietus, is in real life very different from the spooky character she created for her album. In this video she talks about her art in bright sunshine. Jukely, who wants to establish a subscription service for[…]
