Major Organ and the Adding Machine prove just how barmy they really are with the extended version of their 2001 self-titled debut. Tiffany Daniels tries explain the unexplainable.
Sweet Baboo – I’m A Dancer / Songs About Sleepin’
Sweet Baboo sounds like what Noah and the Whale would sound like if Charlie Fink stopped taking himself way too seriously and started acting more like those jobbing comedians you always used to see on Comedy Central @ Jongleurs a few years ago.
Floored By Four – Floored By Four

Russ Chimes – Midnight Club EP
Russ Chimes has produced an EP with a cohesive narrative and, despite the disco-friendly bombast of three really excellent tunes, a sense of restraint as well. A classy debut EP according to Danny Wadeson.

SOTD #154 // Rhosyn: ‘Glass’
Like a beaming Austen heroine running through the British countryside: ‘Glass’ is gloriously fun, elegantly, uniquely structured, and just absurdly beautiful. Another gem is unearthed from Oxford’s fledgling Blessing Force scene.
Photos // Carl Barat – Haymakers, Cambridge 16/10/2010
Valerio Berdini braved the crowds, and the red lights, to bring us photos from Carl Barat’s intimate show at Cambridge’s Haymakers.

Warp veterans take us dancing awkwardly to sawtooths.
