Dark, subtle and eclectic, Danton Eeprom is a smooth operator, and a hugely talented chap to boot. Sean Bamberger reviews.

TLOBF Interview :: Hudson Mohawke
Hudson Mohawke is a musician operating purely on his own terms, a refreshing idea considering many creators of electronic hip-hop only exist to produce the next ‘crowd-slaying beat’…
Hudson Mohawke – Butter
With a hotter than hell debut album entitled Butter, Hudson Mohawke is the U.K.’s new king of the new style. A warm welcome, one and all, to the Scottish Godfather of Glitch.
Jack Penate – Everything Is New
When is too much press not a good thing? When it makes your album sound more ground-breaking than it is. Everything Is New, the latest offering from Jack Penate, is a treat of an album. But not THAT new.
Man Like Me – Man Like Me
There’s something here for everyone, wrapped up in an essentially British package and given a smooth, well produced varnish until it shines like the jewel case it’s presented in. Something for everyone, says Sean Bamberger.
Post War Years – The Greats and The Happenings
Post War Years may not be the most original band, but what they do, they do well enough to merit praise from even the most jaded of critics. Sean Bamberger tells all.
Heads We Dance – Love Technology
If you are a man who sounds like he’s trying to seduce David Bowie by doing an impression of him whilst rubbing him off, then don’t sing. Oh deary me, Sean Bamberger is NOT impressed. *Hold head in hands*
Niobe – Blackbird’s Echo
Talented producer, skilled vocalist or exceptional songcrafter, which description fits raven haired singer Niobe? Answer: All of them. Sean Bamberger reviews.
The Delta Spirit – Ode To Sunshine
Who here thinks mixing up Razorlight, Stereophonics, Turin Brakes and a myriad of other average bands together is a good idea? No? Well, The Delta Spirit do. And they want you to PAY for it.
The Balky Mule – The Length of The Rail
Packed with pretty melodies and lyrical grace and style, it’s these elements that deserve your recognition far more than the random aural fireworks which punctuate the songs contained in The Length Of The Rail.
Dan Auerbach – Keep It Hid
If, when you hear the words ‘Rhythm And Blues’, you automatically shout “Oh yeah thats like wot Kings Of Leon dus innit?”, then get the fuck off this website. Or listen to Dan Auerbach’s ‘Keep It Hid’ and get an education. Innit.
Telepathe – Dance Mother
If you’re like Sean Bamberger, and have an automatic bias against anything that is obviously “cool”, follow his footsteps and have a listen to the new Telepathe album, it may just surprise you.
Eagles Of Death Metal – Heart On
This album won’t change your life, but it’ll make a great soundtrack to the times that you let your hair down and be a man. Or a woman. Dependant on genitalia.
Melody Klyman – Sovereign
Oh deary, deary me. Sean Bamberger is NOT a happy man as he suggests Melody Klyman’s recent ‘critically acclaimed’ release is about as emotionally affecting as a sock. A grey sock.
Omar Rodríguez López – Old Money
Sean Bamberger never could really get into The Mars Volta, having recieved far too many feedback based headaches from their records. However, with ‘Old Money’, he finds that one half of the band is twice as easy to listen to. And much more enjoyable.
GSPIDER and Farah – Bruise Colour Blue E.P.
Three original tracks of slightly depressing alternative electronica. One identikit remix of the first slightly depressing electronica track. Sounds like an exciting prospect, doesn’t it? Sean Bamberger reviews.
