Modern Nature - Further Listening Playlist

Modern Nature - Further Listening Playlist

We're big fans of Modern Nature here, their debut, How To Live, was our 2019 album of the year and we had the great pleasure of them playing our Christmas party too. This new album, the follow up to last year's Annual, is another step up. A beguiling, free-flowing, career highlight, which takes in some of British free music luminaries such as saxophonist Evan Parker, pianist Alexander Hawkins, bassist John Edwards and violinist Alison Cotton, as well as long term collaborators Jeff Tobias and Jim Wallis. Island Of Noise is available as a limited boxset, which features an expanded instrumental version of...

Albums Of The Year 2016

Albums Of The Year 2016

It's come around again, the time to insist you pay attention to our taste in music.  2016 has been both a great and terrible year for music - tons of brilliant new albums (as you'll see below) and lots and lots of death.  This year we lost David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Sharon Jones, Colonel Abrams, David Mancuso, Pete Burns, Bobbie Vee, Prince Buster, Alan Vega, Bernie Worrell, Guy Clark, Merle Haggard, Phife Dawg, Keith Emerson, George Martin, and loads (LOADS) more.  With all that death there needed to be some good stuff to take our mind off it, and...

Ultimate Painting and Muertos

We've had a couple of in-store gigs this week, both bands that played last year.  The first was Ultimate Painting, who were here promoting their recently released third album on Trouble In Mind and we then had Muertos down to play for the release of their debut EP on Wrong Way Records. Below are a couple of videos of what you would've seen/or what you missed.   We have Saint Leonard's Horses playing on Thursday 10th November, and then The Faux, the world's only tribute to The Fall, playing on 3rd December.  Check the Events link for more info.  ...
