BMX Bandits – In Space

No Comments

Scottish indie legends BMX Bandits has a new album out on Elefant Records. BMX Bandits in Space came out last week on october 29th. I’m just listening to it for the first time on Spotify and it sounds sweet and beautiful. Marvellous stuff, but I knew that even before hitting the play button. I have to do some record shopping as soon as possible. There’s also a new music video presenting a great song and cooler than cool Duglas. This one is entitled Listen to Some Music.

Neil Halstead – Palindrome Hunches

No Comments

Neil Halstead has a new album Palindrome Hunches out on Brushfire Records. That’s far more exciting than any kind of Slowdive reunion. Slowdive was a really good band, but Neil has become even better since those days. Mojave 3 was like the best band ever and also solo-Neil ranks above Slowdive in my world. New solo album Palindrome Hunches is again filled with hauntingly beautiful folk songs. This is the opener Digging Shelters. I could just listen to that warm voice all day long.

The Lieblings – Romance Kills

No Comments

Finally the first The Lieblings song is out in the public. I’ve been really looking forward to this since I heard that Sam Shingler (Montevideo, The Pansies), Andy J. Prinkkilä (The Sugarrush), Timo Silvennoinen, (The Sugarrush) and Katja Tolonen (The Wrecking Queens) formed a new fuzz pop band together. A younger version of me would have already travelled to Helsinki to see their concert, but the lazy current version of me have only been impatiently waiting on the home sofa. Anyway, they recorded an album last summer and just posted a “live in studio” video from the album sessions. I have no idea when exactly the album is supposed to hit our hearts, but based on this video I can tell it won’t miss the target when it does come out. Hopefully it takes a little less time than The Sugarrush’s third has taken. This is Romance Kills by The Lieblings.
