SOTD #88 // Tame Impala: ‘Solitude Is Bliss (Mickey Moonlight remix)’
For all the bland rock that Australia has been responsible for over the years, Tame Impala consistently make up for it with their tuneful, almost bluesy take on expansive, experimental rock.
Martha Wainwright – Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, A Paris: Martha Wainwright’s Piaf Record
Martha Wainwright’s dedication to the French cultural icon Edith Piaf is a emotional melodramatic performance, flitting between fervent rebellious anger and sighing regret that, despite its awe inspiring composition, is rather grandiose for repeat listens.
Joanna Chapman-Smith – Contraries
There’s a stellar record waiting to break forth from Joanna Chapman-Smith, and if she cuts the concept, she may well succeed. Tiffany Daniels reviews.

Sebastien Dehesdin is at this years Sonar Festival in Barcelona – a three day event that focuses on “advanced music and multimedia art”. Which translates to: a bunch of music-types fly out to Spain once a year, get completely wasted whilst listening to amazing dance music in the sunshine. Sounds good to us…
Drawing Mountains – Ventures
Self releasing an album is all the rage… But is the content any good? Matthew Haddrill investigates with the debut LP by Drawing Mountains finding it an album showcasing great ambition and a range of talents most bands would die for.

SOTD #87 // Pao Pao: ‘Liberia (ft. Prizes)’
If summer ends up anywhere as brilliant as this effort by Pao Pao makes it seem like it could be, then we’re all in for something truly special. And if not, at least we can all have a little dance to this whilst it rains outside.
