Review: The Kinks – Muswell Hillbillies (Deluxe Edition)

October 11th, 2013

It's like a mini musical of mental patients basking in the warmth of their shared suffering and ultimately making joyous light of it all.

All four Beta Band albums packaged alongside outtakes and two further bonus discs of live material and demos. Oh yes.

Reviews of One Breath by Anna Calvi, Brand New Machine by Chase & Status, and Innocents by Moby.

It's easy to be sniffy about The Fratellis, but they were always a damn sight more palatable than their peers of the 'garage rock revival'.

One part monster movie, one part Gothic fantasy, all strung together by an emotional vulnerability that often veers into hopelessness.

Kevin Barnes's most organic effort in many a year, not that it sounds much at all like The Gay Parade or The Bedside Drama.

Does a decent line in lightly psychedelic pop, but sadly not much more than that. .

The D-Plan sound more relaxed, more at ease than ever, but they still pack so much punch... A triumphant comeback.

October 2nd, 2013

A serviceable regurgitation of sultry, AOR, FM radio soft rock from the '70s and '80s... Fleetwood Mac with the tension filtered out. Dull.

A modern R&B odyssey that sounds frequently fantastic, as long as you're willing to withstand some pretty horrendous lyrics.
