American Music Club at Bristol Thekla Social, Sun 03 Feb

Review by Jane Oriel

Mark Eitzel, adorned with his regular fisherman's beard, whisks though the crowd, head lowered as if against the weather. He looks for all the world like a Baltic merchant seaman in his black beanie and seaworthy overcoat, hands thrust deeply into pockets»

Fram - This Is How We Live Now

Review by Jane Oriel

Fram are five guys from in and around Glasgow who wouldn't particularly care to see their faces plastered on billboards by way of plugging their wares. They're not much interested in press days either, or being obliged to chum it up with A-listers. Not that they're reclusive mind»

American Music Club - The Golden Age

Review by Jane Oriel

A new release by American Music Club, or a solo outing from their writer and inspiration Mark Eitzel, is always an event, not least as there's often a hint that is may be their last. The Golden Age can stand confidently beside AMC's classics, and it stands alone as another distinct chapter in the life of this band»

Six Nation State - Six Nation State

Review by Jane Oriel

It's just over two years since Six Nation State's eponymous demo EP landed on DiS's desk. In the meantime, they've launched further infectious and excitable singles but can their album keep up the momentum...»

Cardiff Calling at Cardiff Coopers Field, Sat 25 Aug

Review by Jane Oriel

The Automatic soon make their presence felt. Although he must have bust the same moves a thousand times before, Pennie looks as convincingly deranged as when I first saw them several years ago...»

Keith Tippett Tapestry Orchestra - Live At Le Mans

Review by Jane Oriel

For some, this (finally released) live double-album of a legendary gig from 1998 is a longed-for treat, a godsend. To others, it might well be a bafflement; a world to be entered by means of password if one wishes to comprehend more than the bare musical notes...»

Arctic Monkeys at Cardiff International Arena, Wed 20 Jun

Review by Jane Oriel

It's normal to expect a band to edge into a performance but starting with the perfect introduction to all things, 'The View From The Afternoon', followed by 'Brianstorm', right from the get-go Arctic Monkeys are perfection on a stick...»

North Sea Radio Orchestra - The End Of Chimes

Glow at Newport Le Pub, Fri 25 May

Review by Jane Oriel

Glow give all their music away for free. That's a no-brainer if you're crap but if your sonic fruits are as lustrous and beguiling as theirs, this act of generosity is either genius, folly or both.»

Culprit One - Running In Order

Review by Jane Oriel

Culprit One has crafted a symphonic masterwork that's variously at ease blasting from a street cruiser's rolled down window, pumping on a sweaty club's dance floor, or even feet-up and perusing at home...»

Review by Jane Oriel

Marissa Nadler - Songs III: Bird On The Water

Goldenhorse - Goldenhorse

Review by Jane Oriel
