Maybe this has only been a clearing of the throat, a shaking off of the cobwebs, a necessary step into the harsh daylight of everyday existence. Maybe there is more to come.
A.R. Kane – The Complete Singles Collection (One Little Indian)
The missing link between Robert Wyatt and Disco Inferno, A. R. Kane sounded equally at home in the club as in the bedroom, under the stars and in the studio.
Bat For Lashes – Haunted Man (Capitol)
This half-assed Paula Cole bullshit bores the crap out of me. Its Enya-esque sonic soundscapes make me wretch.
Song of the day – 499: Fabulous Diamonds
If this band were from Brisbane they wouldn’t be so darn nonchalant.
Micachu And The Shapes – Never (Rough Trade)
This is what it feels like to be alive in 2012 — connected to everything and more isolated than ever.
Constants – Pasiflora (The Mylene Sheath)
