Given that Supergrass split two years ago citing "musical differences," I approached Gaz Coombes ' debut solo album with caution. After all, the one thing that’s been consistent throughout Coombes' career is his knack of crafting big pop hooks and catchy choruses, and my worry was that these might have been jettisoned in a bid to leave his past behind, and reinvent himself as a serious solo artist. Pleasingly, this is not the case as Coombes seems very much aware of what his audience wants to hear, and on Here Come The Bombs he seems to be happy to give ...

It's been five years since we last heard from Brooklyn rapper/producer El-P , well, in his capacity as a solo artist anyway.  Now he's back with a highly-anticipated new album Cancer for Cure . El-P pulls out all the stops on this record.  It's an intense experience that hardly lets up from beginning to end. The in-your-face "The Full Retard" reaches way way down for a deep groove.  One can't help but feel almost physically threatened by "The Jig Is Up", while "Oh Hail No" is a simple smashmouth 'fuck you'.

“Monday, Monday,” cried The Mamas & The Papas, mournfully. Yes they did. Alas, the very beginning of the week is here and it is weighing rather heavily on this writer because I just want to go home! But I can’t and thusly I need comfort. I gave Spektor">Regina Spektor’s  What We Saw From The Cheap Seats  a gander but found myself disengaged.

Bee Gees' singer Robin Gibb has passed away following a lengthy battle with cancer. With global sales of more than 200 million units, the Bee Gees are easily one of the most successful pop groups Britain has ever produced. Moving from 60s pop to psychedelia to country-folk inflections, the band's initial period saw them flirt with both pop stardom and cult obscurity. Lauded for their beautiful harmonies and mature songwriting, a shift towards disco turned the Bee Gees into global stars. Never looking back, the band's career ended with the death of Maurice Gibb in 2003. Later touring ...

It’s been nigh on five years since rapper/producer/my total bro-dog Aesop Rock has done the whole “make an album and tour on it” thing as a solo artist. Maybe that’s because doing all of that stuff totally sucks and the music industry is a soul-crushing, creativity-vaporizing, family-and-friends-alienating sham-machine whose sharp, rusty, metal implements are oiled by the hot blood of a declasse group of bound and gagged musical pack mules and all that stuff. Or maybe it’s just because he’s been busy working with other artists and chillaxing with some kombucha. Personally, I don ...
