Morton Valence - Bob And Veronica Ride Again

Review by Daniel Ross

Morton Valence’s debut album is immediately reminiscent of a distinctly British strain of urban chronicling.»

Speech Debelle - Speech Therapy

Review by Daniel Ross

Dan Deacon - Bromst

Review by Daniel Ross

Dan Deacon's second official UK album Bromst is a mischievous, soulful collection of spirituals and spasms, on which the Baltimore»

Dent May And His Magnificent Ukulele - The Good Feeling Music of Dent May And His Magnificent Ukulele

Review by Daniel Ross

For an album so reflective of a certain musical style and sound, The Good Feeling Music of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele manages to contemporise itself without sounding ridiculous.»

DiS meets Angil & The Hiddntracks

In Depth by Daniel Ross

Mickaël Mottet is the brains behind one of 2008’s most bizarre yet accomplished albums - a record with no E!»

44025

K-the-I??? - Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

Review by Daniel Ross

The production, courtesy of Saul Williams collaborator Thavius Beck, owes more to frantic IDM than it does to anything the RZA ever did on this album of Kerouacian stream of consciousness, literate devil-talk and beats. »

Dark Captain Light Captain at London 100 Club, Wed 12 Nov

Review by Daniel Ross

Touring their extremely good debut LP Miracle Kicker, Dark Captain Light Captain appear to have grown not only in number (from two to six) but also in dynamic range.»

Left With Pictures - Secretly

Review by Daniel Ross

Left With Pictures are a bendy hybrid of early classical chord shapes and very pure pop melodies.»

Casiotone For The Painfully Alone - Town Topic EP

Review by Daniel Ross

Although the output of Casiotone For The Painfully Alone has largely been an aesthetic exercise in the power of quiet harshness and the conflicts therein, one might expect that an EP format might be a chance to experiment with sounds»

The Acorn - Glory Hope Mountain

Review by Daniel Ross

Consummate musical intelligence, clarity of expression, fun and satisfying nuance and a distinctive drama run throughout The Acorn's Glory Hope Mountain»

DiScover: David Karsten Daniels

In Depth by Daniel Ross

After releasing one of 2008’s most overlooked albums, Fear Of Flying, many-placed musician David Karsten Daniels has been getting about a bit»

Cornelius at London Shepherds Bush Empire, Sun 03 Aug

Review by Daniel Ross

Cornelius is an engaging presence. The notion of synaesthesia is one discussed in reference to other artists, but Keigo Oyamada is a step up»

Acid Mothers Temple And The Cosmic Inferno at London Corsica Studios, Thu 31 Jul

Review by Daniel Ross

Novelty-lovers beware – an army of evidence supports Acid Mothers Temple’s claim to psychedelic divinity tonight as they perform as ...& The Cosmic Inferno»

Stereolab - Chemical Chords

Review by Daniel Ross

While it doesn’t touch on the epic dimensions Stereolab have been capable of in the past, Chemical Chords is still substantially satisfying»

39559

Nicole Atkins - Neptune City

Review by Daniel Ross

You do begin to wonder where this trend emerged from. Young girl, post-Tori Amos, connects with own emotions, discovers she can hammer away with mediocre precision the odd song from Parachutes on her mum’s piano»

38808

Peter Morén - The Last Tycoon

Review by Daniel Ross

Peter Morén, from Peter Bjorn & John and flying solo here, is a man to whom life’s apparent intricacies are no real challenge»

Stereolab at London Brixton The Windmill, Tue 10 Jun

Review by Daniel Ross

Stereolab? In the Brixton Windmill? But that’s tiny! Indeed, but it turns out to be to the band's credit as they deliver a series of fan favourites»

38415

Shearwater - Rook

Review by Daniel Ross

That Shearwater haven’t forgotten to drop in the occasional plop of pop excellence, the odd instrumental flourish, is to their complete credit»

38233

I Am Kloot - I Am Kloot Play Moolah Rouge

Review by Daniel Ross

In which career never-quites I Am Kloot assert themselves as clever and well-read pains, slightly numbing with age but not enough to make them a lost cause in any way at all»

37817

Sebadoh - Bubble And Scrape (Expanded)

Review by Daniel Ross

Sebadoh fans after something to expand their genetic knowledge of 1994's Bubble And Scrape should definitely explore this expanded edition»

37174

Dawn Kinnard - The Courtesy Fall

Review by Daniel Ross

The Courtesy Fall is caught in a relaxing limbo, neither mainstream enough to warrant a slot at Wireless nor backwater enough to make Will Oldham fans gob into a spittoon»

36833

Tindersticks at London Royal Festival Hall, Sat 03 May

Review by Daniel Ross

The spooked 'Introduction' begins a complete playing of Tindersticks' new record, The Hungry Saw. The majority of this, it must be said, is fantastic»

Frightened Rabbit at London Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes, Thu 01 May

Review by Daniel Ross

Frightened Rabbit - the most earnestly smacked band in Scotland at the moment - are really bright and a real hope for the coming years, but the night lets them down»

Muscles - Guns, Babes, Lemonade

Review by Daniel Ross

Sophisticated Australian dance fellow Muscles' brashly titled debut album certainly isn't. Luckily, though, it is quite entertaining and sweetly heartfelt at times, which helps dull the record's harder musical slaps»

David Karsten Daniels - Fear Of Flying

Review by Daniel Ross

David Karsten Daniels' latest full-length oozes poise and beauty, and while such terms seem hackneyed with Fear Of Flying the right adjectives are immensely difficult to pluck and place, everything here indicative of a sublime musical mind»

Frank Turner - Love Ire & Song

Review by Daniel Ross

Frank Turner's fans will care little that anyone has a bad word to say against him, and this record will sell enough for him to make another. Idiots will always win, then, but Love Ire And Song is pointless»
