Review: Tex Perkins - The Dark Horses/The Ba ..Australian rock icon Tex Perkins plays it safe on new albums with The Dark Horses and The Band Of Gold, writes DOUG WALLEN . Two albums cut in different studios with different players (save shared bassist Steve Hadley). One all originals, the other all covers. Yet these new works from lifer Tex Perkins don’t present reverse sides of the man so much as confirm where he’s at right now: a dark crooner and reflective songwriter who’s long since graduated from dive bars to swank theatres. Well-mannered and soft of step, these twin outings may be best absorbed after ...Mess and Noise28 August 2011

A Letter From... Scotland #1Broad of accent and fuzzy of beard, Glasgow’s Admiral Fallow are kicking up a royal fuss on the city’s folk scene. And all of its other scenes besides. Their debut ‘Boots Met My Face’ was recently re-released to a flush of praise from the most hallowed of corners. Produced by Paul Savage, this glorious noise set frontman Louis Abbot’s lovelorn lyrics against a backdrop of enough multi-instrumentation to make Fire">Arcade Fire want to pull their socks up. They’ve continued to develop as one of Scotland’s finest live bands. Influenced by sounds from Midlake to ...Clash Music24 August 2011

I Break Horses: HeartsIt's still summer, but for some reason the ClashMusic office has taken on a wintery atmosphere of late. Perhaps it's due to Swedish duo I Break Horses . Eschewing the Scandinavian reputation for wholesome indie pop, the duo instead aim for something rather more ethereal. Debut album 'Hearts' layers effect upon effect, with I Break Horses crafting vast swathes of sound. In essence a shoegaze album, in reality the Swedish group have far more going on than any genre tag could describe. Out now on Bella Union, the album is an ambitious, involving piece of work which never allows ...Clash Music22 August 2011

Film Review: Attack the Block (Dir. Joe Corn ..Attack the Block Dir. Joe Cornish [Big Talk Productions; 2011] by Andrew Eastwick Rating: Don’t be surprised if a modest British import wins more love (if not money) than those costly 3D robots and alien-fighting cowboys and becomes the sci-fi thriller of the summer. Despite its drab title, Attack the Block may also be the summer movie of the summer — the witty, inventive, jump-out-of-your-seat popcorn pic Hollywood frequently promises but rarely delivers. Amid the fireworks of Guy Fawkes Night in South London, a strange creature falls out of the sky, interrupting the mugging of a nurse (Jodie Whittaker) by ...Tiny Mix Tapes4 August 2011

Global Gathering 2011Global is reliably one of the friendlier festivals out there, whether its the chemicals, music or the diverse demographic present, and this year was no exception. Right from the off the tripped out bonhomie on display was a joy, complemented with fantastic beats from the most surprising of sources. Unfortunately too often this was despite, rather than because, the efforts of festival organisers. The key challenge was the Main Stage. Dance music is born of the clubs, and the outdoor stage has always struggled here. There was some effort made to rectify the obvious problems – the sound system was massive ...Clash Music2 August 2011

We Aeronauts - Chalon Valley [EP]There have been a few bands over the past decade or so who have adopted the motto of "the more the merrier." Broken Social Scene were once nineteen members strong, Polyphonic Spree boast twenty-one, I’m From Barcelona take it to the extreme with a staggering twenty-nine (although I’m sceptical about the input of at least two-thirds of those guys, surely tambourine doesn’t count!). We Aeronauts don’t quite achieve double figures in terms of personnel, but the spirit of their music is very resonant to those aforementioned bands who would rather share the enjoyment of making music ...The 4057 July 2011

We were there to catch their NXNE show in Toronto last week, and on Monday they joined us in Boston, at the Brighton Music Hall, with support from Georgia's Reptar . Given that I've seen Art Brut before, Reptar were a surprisingly different band to choose for their support slot. Though full of energy like the bigger band, Raptor played more ...Ryan's Smashing Life27 June 2011
