Leonard Cohen – Old Ideas: exclusive album s ..Be among the first to hear Leonard Cohen's new album On Friday we ran Dorian Lynskey's brilliant Leonard Cohen interview , in which the legendary singer discussed the songwriting process, Hallelujah cover versions and more. Because we're big teases we promised you an album stream on Monday. And because we're true to our word, here it is. In her review for the Observer , Kitty Empire said: "Old Ideas is not all about death, betrayal and God, juicy as these are. As the title suggests, it is more of the stuff that has made Cohen indispensable for six ...Guardian music24 January 2012

Best albums of 2011, No 1: PJ Harvey - Let E ..England did indeed shake this year to the sound of riots, protests and distant wars. No wonder, then, that PJ Harvey's raw yet meticulously researched record hit a nerve Depicting war has always been an overwhelmingly male concern, even though it tears up lives indiscriminately. Last spring, not too long after the release of Let England Shake, an exhibition called Women War Artists opened at London's Imperial War Museum. Only a few pieces came within smelling distance of the grotesqueness of conflict. There was Doris Zinkeisen's Belsen painting, in which the wasted bodies of detainees are washed ...Guardian music16 December 2011

Wild Beasts and Spiritualized at Other Voice ..Following our live stream of Wild Beasts and Spiritualized at the Other voices festival, have a chat about the show with Observer pop critic Kitty Empire Over the past few days, the Other Voices festival has beamed its wildly varied programme of music onto pub TV screens in the small town of Dingle, Co Kerry , so that revellers not lucky enough to be among the 80 seated in St James's church could still enjoy the acts. Tonight the festival reaches its climax with Wild Beasts and Spiritualized taking the stage, and we're going one step further by beaming ...Guardian music5 December 2011

Our favourite albums: your opinionsAs the My favourite album series concludes, we look back at the highlights and see what readers had to say about our choices As the My favourite album series closes with Peter Robinson on Now That's What I Call Music 11 , it seemed like a good opportunity to pick some of the highlights you might have missed. The series began in August with Alexis Petridis on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack , which proved divisive: Alexis said: "The Bee Gees had an innate understanding of disco's complex emotional dynamic, the undertow of melancholy lurking beneath the dancefloor euphoria."

Morrissey's World: The Strange Story of a Bl ..The whole thing brings to mind one word: solipsism. To begin: in a show review, the Guardian makes mention of the mysterious blog: The show in this plush old music hall theatre opens with the words “Welcome to my world”. This is either a wry reference to Justin Bieber (who opens his own shows with those words) or to a new blog, morrisseysworld.blogspot.com, written in a highly amusing parody of Morrissey’s style. Is it him? Is it super-fan Russell Brand? From closely-tied fan site True To You , Morrissey’s denial: Morrissey would like it known that the ...The Daily Swarm29 September 2011

Mercury prize 2010: A dozen of the best to s ..Kitty Empire picks the albums she thinks should make the shortlist How slowly a year passes. It seems like only, ooh, 12 months ago that rapper Speech Debelle was first spotted on the 2009 Mercury prize shortlist. She went on to clinch the prize last September. Before her win, all that customary teeth-sucking talk about the Mercury curse (where the winners' careers subsequently jump off a cliff) had even begun to subside a little, thanks to the warm, fuzzy "Elbow effect".

Julian Casablancas, 'Phrazes For The Young' ..Listen to the Julian Casablancas album So what do you think of 'Phrazes For The Young'? NME's own Barry Nicolson gave it 8 out of 10, praising Julian's "halogenic synth-pop swagger" and "cheekily subversive" take on Obama-era America. Kitty Empire in The Observer was equally effusive, calling the record "joyous" and concluding: "There is a new Strokes record in the pipeline, but it will struggle to be as much fun as this one."
