At day two of The Great Escape in Brighton, it being Friday meant that the crowds were growing, the lines getting longer, and thankfully some sunshine came along with it. Day two also brought with it a headlining spot from Australia’s own The Temper Trap , who continue to go gangbusters around the world as the push their new self-titled record, which will see them back in Australia later this month. The first artist I caught today was Canada’s Donovan Woods at the Festival Hub, who we spoke to earlier this month . The solo singer songwriter, with an acoustic ...

I Feel Love has to feature on any playlist of Donna Summer's music, but here are also some more classics by which to remember her ... Love to Love You Baby (1975) This was the song that introduced Summer, producer Giorgio Moroder and disco itself to Middle America. The full-length version was 17 minutes of Summer in paroxysms of arousal, accompanied by a hypnotic synth/percussion arrangement. The radio edit chopped out the X-rated segments, but left listeners in no doubt that Summer, her voice a languid conduit for Moroder's insinuating keyboard washes, was working herself up to the ...

leider ist es etwas ruhig geworden um die all girl summer fun band , die zuletzt im jahr 2008 eine veröffentlichung anzupreisen hatte. es war das "looking into it" getaufte album des mädeldreiers, der ihnen vor also vier jahren zur ehe gereichte. schon damals tat sich kim baxter als aufnahmeleiterin hervor. in ihren heimischen räumen recordete man den nachfolger vom selftitled debut aus 2001 (k records) und "2" aus 2003 (ebenfalls k) sowie diversen singles und einer ep. angesichts der tatsache, dass man solche kaliber wie kathy foster oder jen sbragia in seinen reihen weiß, die bei the thermals bzw. bei ...

If extra terrestrials landed in the UK they could be forgiven for believing that in the nineties people only took Screamadelica off the stereo to listen to Blur or Oasis. By contrast, touching down in Oslo’s Telenor Arena recently would have left a rather different impression of the decade’s music. Billed as We Love the ‘90s, the lineup included Haddaway, Culture Beat and “special guests” The Vengaboys, as well as quite a few more who whose charms failed to reach these shores. Among them was Captain Jack, a duo fronted by about a dozen different people and whose ...

Optimistically touted the 'first major festival of the summer', with the Saturday of this year's Camden Crawl quite factually cooler than Christmas the notorious bank holiday blowout gets off to a somewhat slow and strangely tepid start. Three Trapped Tigers bemuse with virtuoso, if exquisitely accomplished aspirational unpleasantness that's ultimately as insipid as an infinity wired into Xfm, whilst Samuel Manville's Hymns breed a reedy unholiness in the grim depths of The Underworld. Its newly snazzed exterior belies its inner filth, just as Manville et al. negate any originality through the assimilation of the loud/quiet dynamics ...

Oft previously dubbed "Camden Queue", it takes until Sunday evening for anything of the sort to snake through the 'Town's cracks and cobbles. A rather greater few seem to prefer to – at least figuratively – belatedly wake up, rather than shack up for the night with Baxter Dury although whether he and his band have indulged in even so much as a second's shuteye remains inconclusive. Enrobed in the exact same clothes as they were the night before, Dury contrives to tailor the exact same setlist too. In vain attempt of some vaguely redundant compare and contrast, the lighting ...

Sometimes there's an album that really sneaks up on you. You pop it in without any expectations and you slowly but surely fall for its the charms. That's definitely the case with Toronto-based, Calgary-born folk singer/songwriter Grant Tilly's forthcoming record The World Keeps Passing By. It's the songwriting that stands out with Tilly. His lyrics are thoughtful and unpretentious. He's honest without being sappy or laden down with self-pity. This alone sets him apart in the all-too earnest world of folk music. A dash of humour adds to the charm. After all, who can ...
