A couple of reviews to warm your cockles on a chilly November morn.

Kling Klang - The Esthetik of Destruction
As debut albums go, this is something of an oddity - a collection of all Kling Klang’s official recordings from 1999 to 2005. Whilst this may suggest that they’ve not be able to come up with something new recently, The Esthetik of Destruction contains enough highs to make you hope for something more. Full review.

Day Action Band - Right On Dairyland
Discovering new music is still a thrill. Once you’ve lost that, you’re practically dead. No matter how you discover “your new favourite band”, be it radio, internet or good ‘ole fashioned mix tapes that your mates made for you, I still get excited when I’ve found something new. I became aware of the Day Action Band whilst clicking, randomly, through Myspace friends, their songs loaded instantly and as the dreamy intro to All Comes Down To This echoed through my tinny computer speakers my ears perked up, there was something here, something special about the songs that I’d not come across for a while. A couple of clicks and a few days later, through my letter box pops Right On Dairyland, a lovingly written and recorded album full of witty lyrics and delicate music. Full review.
