Play It Agai

Kerala Dust’s new album, An Echo of Love, is a dynamic blend of art rock, electronica, and Americana, reflecting constant change and musical experimentation. The album’s fluidity is mirrored in both its shifting lineup - adding keyboardist Tim Gardner and drummer Pascal Karier - and its diverse recording locations, including Tuscany, Austin, Berlin, Zurich, and Rome. Lead member Edmund Kenny describes the album as capturing a state of mind, shaped by his personal experiences, especially after a tumultuous period following the band’s 2023 tour. The band blends cerebral and visceral elements, combining techno, Krautrock, and punk influences while staying true to their unique identity. Rather than focusing on a specific genre, the album reflects the band's evolving sound world, questioning if the music feels authentic to their essence. The album marks a significant point in Kerala Dust’s journey, suggesting that their transformative path is just beginning.

Efter en hyllad EP, turné med Editors, ja då tar dessa Manchester alt-rockers steget in i album världen, och som dom gör det! Elva strålande låtar producerad av Doves' producent. Det låter stort, det låter eget - det är som Phil Spector och Animal Collective gjort en platta ihop...med det<br/>är Airship!

Två bröder från Isle of Wight gör skön musik tillsammans. Litegrann som ett tidigt R.E.M. mixat med Fleet Foxes kanske, även om brödernas stor hjälte är Paul Simon. En skiva som vinner i längden...

Keaton Henson is shedding the &ldquo;quiet boy&rdquo; persona that has defined much of his career. Embracing the grunge-infused sounds of his youth on new album Parader, the elusive songwriter melds emotional darkness, melancholy, and seething frustration as he reckons with the hauntings of his past: &ldquo;I was nervous about being too loud, but then it sort of just came out.&rdquo; What unravels across Parader&rsquo;s 12 tracks is an introspective autopsy of time as it distorts and folds to inhabit the songwriter&rsquo;s present. &ldquo;There are these disjointed snapshots,&rdquo; he shares, &ldquo;memories across time popping up amongst this collection of thoughts about what it feels like to be this age and a musician.&rdquo;&nbsp;
