Hervé - Pick Me Up, Sort Me Out, Calm Me Dow ..An overactive imagination can be both irritating and intriguing to its owner. It is from the depths of my subconscious I arrived at the conclusion that the latest offering from Hervé would be the perfect soundtrack to a video of Noel Fielding guzzling LSD whilst prancing around the aircraft hangars of Sonar Festival in some sort of sequinned cape. If the thought of such an experience seems a little off-putting, then Pick Me Up, Sort Me Out, Calm Me Down probably isn't the record for you. Not one to sit still for too long, Hervé doesn't seem to ...The 40524 May 2012

AMBULANCES Feelin' Sick / Shine On My Shoes ..Living and recording in the shadow of mutually assured destruction (Rosyth the now de-commissioned nuclear submarine base) and with the sad death of a band member last year, you could forgive Ambulances for being overly obsessed with life cruelly foreshortened. And this is before you get to their name, the fact there last album was called “The Future That Was” and that the cover of this double A-sided single features a propeller airplane coming out of a tail-spin. ‘Feelin’ Sick’, despite its title and this backdrop, actually feels quite alive, optimistic and on a steady course in its opening moments ...Folly of Youth9 April 2012

Sole Stars - HerveOur Lacoste artist spotlight series returns, and sights are firmly fixed on the impending explosion of electro tycoon, Hervé. Joshua Harvey, or Hervé, has been roving the electronic circuit for years, leading a vagabond kind of life, a finger in every pie, and each with a different flavour. He’s penned gnarly club anthems as The Count, championed new talent through his Cheap Thrills label, and now he’s on the cusp of releasing his full debut album. With a single through side-project Machines Don’t Care out this month, it’s hard to see where he finds the juice ...Clash Music4 April 2012

SATURDAY'S SCOTTISH SINGLE (Part 17)From wiki:- The Beta Band formed in 1996 around St Andrews musicians Steve Mason (vocals, guitar) and Gordon Anderson. The two had plans to call their group The Pigeons but later changed their minds. As they pulled together songs for their debut EP, Champion Versions, they added Robin Jones (drums) and John Maclean (DJ, sampler, keyboards). Steve Duffield was the original bassist but quit the band soon after recording Champion Versions. Not long after they were signed to Regal/Parlophone, Anderson became ill and decided to quit the band. He would later produce recordings under the name Lone Pigeon.

Jape - Ocean of FrequencyJape began in Dublin as the side project of Redneck Manifesto bassist Richie Egan, but they have been established as a band in their own right for many years now. Whereas the Redneck Manifesto play intriguing instrumental rock, Jape is an entirely different concern, preferring to concentrate on melodic synth-based pop songs. Their third album Ritual won the Choice Music Prize in 2008 – basically Ireland's version of the Mercury – and this is the long-awaited follow-up. The three year gap puzzled many people, but it seems that Jape have spent the time refining their songs and whilst they have made ...The 40518 October 2011

STEVE MASON & DENNIS BOVELL – Ghosts Outside ..(Domino/EMI) Former Beta Band frontman’s Boys Outside album reimagined by dub veteran Though by no means a dub record, last year’s Boys Outside album from Steve Mason contained beautifully mournful electro-pop with a sense of spacious minimalism providing a wealth of sonic opportunities for a dub producer. And there are few more ideal dub producers to work with Mason than Dennis Bovell, a Jamaican-born, London-raised musician and studio whiz who has worked with artists as disparate as The Pop ...Rave Magazine4 October 2011

Bestival 2011 - open thread: how was it for ..Returned from the Isle of Wight yet? Then share with us your highlights of the last big festival of the summer … So, it's back to work and a more monochrome existence, now that Bestival – the last major festival of the summer – has ended. This feebly exhausted reveller actually scarpered from the site yesterday, catching the last ferry back from the Isle of Wight to the mainland, but by then I felt I'd done and seen enough to last me until at least next spring … Mark Beaumont covered the whole shebang – from Friday through Saturday to Sunday – but personal ...Guardian music13 September 2011

Festival AlertWHISKY NOT WELLIES Combining two of our favourite things - a love of sweet music and our penchant for a nice tipple, Pure Festivals have come up with a fantastic way to celebrate and mash together two well-gelling worlds. The best part, the line up is pretty decent too. Here are a couple we are looking forward to seeing: The Raveonettes The band have recently been to the Grand Canyon to record the video to their new track, 'Recharge and Revolt', off their latest album Raven in the Grave. Pop Blimp is still very much obsessed with 'Last Dance'. Its been ...Pop Blimp11 September 2011
