Joseph Arthur and I have a complicated relationship. Once upon a time, I would have cited Jo as my favourite artist. But times change, as do people, and we grew apart… bar the odd exception or two. But I’ve just got through listening to his new album, The Graduation Ceremony (out today) and I think […]
Can someone else let me know what you think of the whole Odd Future thing? Because, seriously… I’ve never been as conflicted about music as I have been by these dudes. I don’t know which way to turn, but I know I can’t turn away. It’s some of the most prodigious talent I’ve seen in… […]
I have to admit, I just never really got into The Antlers hype. There was just something about them that didn’t connect with me, which is weird as the fans I speak to seem to get this completely deep and meaningful connection with their tunes.

As recently hinted at, I’m quite excited about the new Bon Iver album. And this first single, “Calgary,” has left me no less excited. It hints at the new direction that Justin and Co. are heading in (and in fact recalls some of the older DeYarmond Edison sounds for me, actually)… and is the perfect […]
