It’s that time of year again – how bloody exciting is it? Checking weather forecasts every ten minutes and hearing everything from localised flooding to heatwave… It could only be Electric Picnic week. Now, despite the line-up weighing a little heavily on the Saturday, there is plenty to see across all the days. Here a […]

Last week, James Blake alluded to a collaboration with Bon Iver. The track, “Fall Creek Boys Choir”, surfaced earlier. Make your own minds up… Mainstream press has always had the problem of latching onto an act and then struggling to let go, even when it’s plainly obvious that they have taken a step awry. In […]

Malian desert rock (a term more apt here than for QOTSA, I reckon) release their new album on August 30th. This is the first track to be taken from it, and it features Kyp Malone and Tunde Adebimpe from TV on the Radio. Famed the world over for the bleached out, trance infused desert rock, […]

Now in its 15th year, the Cork Midsummer Festival passes unnoticed under some people’s radars, but for the rest of us it as an eclectic, varied and exhilarating myriad of culture. This post will look at the musical events on offer this year, though there is plenty more to check out. The Midsummer Festival runs from June […]
