The Chap "Surgery" - There are people who have to cut into people's bodies every day. It's their job, and it's ultimately sort of mundane. They go inside of bodies, see things that may only be viewed one time by the naked eye, but it's all very impersonal despite the ...

The Childballads "Stewart Hassle" (Live in session for Fair Game) - Stewart Lupton has a new strategy: He's writing new lyrics upon the foundations of respected classics, which is both supremely ballsy, and in line with the folk tradition.

The Long Blondes "Guilt" - In the world of the Long Blondes, infidelity is an entirely inevitable by-product of all romantic and sexual relationships. There's no trust and no illusions; just a steady belief that people are only loyal when they have no options, and that they will bolt or ...
Black Francis "The Seus" - It's such a pleasure to hear Black Francis indulge in his weirder impulses and vocal tics. He never gets up to a full scream in "The Seus," but he he definitely sounds a bit unhinged in parts, particularly when he interrupts his own hook to ...

They are fantasists, and on their album, they've built a familiar and incredibly inviting alternate universe built from the scraps of teen movies, young adult novels, WB/CW tv shows, and several generations of pop hits. ...
Wild Beasts "Assembly" - Hayden Thorpe has one of the most bewildering voices in contemporary music, in part because he himself sounds utterly bewildered each time he opens his mouth. He comes across like a person who has somehow crossed over into a better, more romantic version of the world ...
