The Waves is a purposeful and direct debut that knows exactly what it is, and what it wants to be.
Ou Est Le Swimming Pool – The Golden Year
It’s too early to contemplate whether Ou Est Le Swimming Pool can, or will, continue. Their potential was immense. But the loss of a band pales in comparison compared to the sorrow that will be carried by the loved ones in Charles’ life.

Salem – King Night
Who are these Gen X throwbacks and why are they suddenly, suddenly, demanding such a high amount of attention when, and this is the key, nobody can really quite describe what their music sounds like? Jen Long gives it a go…
The Isles – Outside Beauty
“Scatterbrained” is an apt one-word description of The Isles’ latest offering, projecting itself like the product of a two-week drink and drugs bender.
Dinosaur Pile-Up – Growing Pains
The Leeds new-grunge trio Dinosaur Pile-Up pick the wrong Nirvana member to emulate and have produced an album that’s got the muscle and the brain, but little of the heart or soul.

Ducktails + Spectrals – Trof NQ, Manchester 22/09/10
The clash of the hipster titans it may have been, but with their laid back groove and swinging riffs, Spectrals themselves should’ve been the perfect fit for Ducktails’ expansive soundscapes. But any enjoyment has to be lined with regret says Matthew Britton.
