On SAiNT’s previous two reviews on AN, we had a coincidental tendency to publish both of them on the 1st day of their respective calendar months. Today we break with that random tradition and look upon this booming re-rub that … Continue reading →

Bringing things back in a visual sense – and in typical Nadia Oh / Space Cowboy fine-looking fashion, the music video for ‘Slapper’ (Ayye) has just dropped onto the WWW. For even more on Nadia Oh, be sure to click … Continue reading →

One reader offers us a relentlessly pop-tastic selection of songs. Think you can do better? Get in touch Each week, we invite a reader to share a playlist they've been listening to recently. This week it's the turn of Scott Mildenhall, who blogs at In at Number 40 . Follow him on Twitter here . Loreen – Euphoria Euphoria, Sweden's entry to this year's Eurovision, is the best kind of melodramatic nonsense: wrought declarations of love in the verses leading into - yes - euphoric house chords in the chorus. The live performance is probably better than the record itself, with ...

( Teil 1 ) ( Teil 2 ) ( Teil 3 ) ( Teil 4 ) ( Teil 5 ) ( Teil 6 ) ( Teil 8 ) Platz 12 Iceage - New Brigade Auch nach fast einem Jahr bin ich hin und weg von der kalten Macht dieses Albums. Rostmetallisch schaben die Gitarren mit postpunkiger Kantigkeit in lichtlose Kellerräume hinein, doch die Energie, mit der sie und die Rhythmussektion zu hoffnungsarm monochromem Gesang durch die Finsternis rauschen, ist eine rastlos punkige. Und doch sind es ein ums andere Mal nicht Atmosphäre und Impetus, sondern die simpel eingängigen Melodien, die einen so mitreißen und diese knappen Kleinode in einem kalten Rausch hindurchziehen lassen.

You've seen our top 50 albums of the year . But what did Guardian critics' individual lists look like? Here's the full list of votes from our critics. We asked them for their top 10 albums and tracks of 2011. Then we tallied up their votes, awarding 10 points for first place, nine points for second place and so on, ending with a solitary point for any albums in 10th place. The total number of points were counted and any ties were decided by who got the most first-place votes. Adam Boult Albums 1. Cloud Nothings - Cloud Nothings 2 ...

Contrary to David Cameron's retreat from Europe, club sounds from the continent dominated the UK charts this year It's an institution appreciated by the bulk of Europe but endlessly divisive in the UK. Critics point to its arcane voting structures, its cliques and its perceived anti-British agenda. The tabloids call for withdrawal altogether – "see how they get on without our money", being a common cry. Occasionally an alternative alignment is proposed – a transatlantic forum taking in reliable North American cousins and, perhaps, a couple of Scandinavian neighbours if they behave themselves. Eurovision or the EU, it doesn't ...

Leave it up to our favorite beat hustler DJ Skeet Skeet to serve up a groovy, genre-busting dance-pop brew that explodes onto the scene with some major chart potential. Check out his debut artist single, aptly-titled "I Like It Loud,"...

Absolutely unusual & positively peculiar in every bit of its stream (whilst not without sounding like these were the instrumentals left over from a one-time n’ rare Twilight Zone-brainstorming-session with Lady Gaga, M.I.A. and the ambiguous, behind the scenes producer of Nadia Oh all combined..) Al Ripken Jr makes the world an offer that they cannot refuse and hires [...]

Providing more S&M; coverage than the back end of Rihanna’s pert backside, SAiNT drop a blatant, no-novelty-business, royal-wedding-afterparty- attack of Nadia Oh’s, shocker of-the-moment-title… Kate Middleton. SAiNT’s own self-titled terms of War House, B-More, LA Hard House and Tropical Bass sum up their fever pitch sound, which sounds as amazing as Arsenal FC’s win was [...]

There's a royal wedding on, apparently, but how best to soundtrack this great event? With an album about a fox marrying a phantom cat-bride, set to a reggae beat, of course ... The royal wedding has prompted many musical tributes, from the balladeering of Blake to Taking Over the Dancefloor by Nadia Oh , who, presumably unlike Carol Ann Duffy , rhymes "Kate Middleton" with a popular tequila brand. But best of all is Moon Wiring Club's Somewhere a Fox Is Getting Married, which refracts the already odd pomp and ceremony into a parallel dimension where "greedy, wryly unwholesome, non-paying animal-faced ...

A substantial portion of the British population is already sick of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and the build up has only just begun. So imagine our joy at the news someone (Nadia Oh) has written a pop song called ‘Kate Middleton’. The thing is, this isn’t some saccharine, Taylor Swift praise, but an off kilter dance track that repeats ‘We’re gonna take your money.’ Okay, so the music sounds like the sort of thing the Black Eyed Peas would reject for being too naff, but just wait until the Daily Mail hears it.   Nadia ...
