Pop Profile #1 :: Jam On Bread
Pop Profile is the brand new all expense spared feature from TLOBF – each week Tom Whyman, one of the most well-connected writers in the indie scene today, gets an exclusive, intimate look at one of its most sought-after performers.
Thomas Truax – Songs From The Films Of David Lynch
This album is Thomas Truax covering a bunch of songs from the films of someone who is probably one of your favourite directors (and if he isn’t, you’re wrong). Tom Whyman reviews.
William – Slightly Delighted
There’s a reason Blur changed their name from ‘Seymour’ before they became big. It’s because band names that are just men’s first names are rubbish. Luckily for William then, that Tom Whyman has a NEW name for them.
The Field – Yesterday and Today
The Field’s debut album was a thing of joy and wonder – sampling 80s anthems and crafting something special. Does the follow-up reach the same heights? Tom Whyman reviews.
Passion Pit – Manners
Tom Whyman reviews the debut album from one of the most hyped bands in 2009. Is pop music still in rude health or has the mainstream taken control?
Junior Boys – Begone Dull Care
The world’s premier maybe-could-have-been-in-an-alternate-reality boyband, Junior Boys, return with their third album. Can they keep up their impressive strike rate? Tom Whyman reviews.
Seal Cub Clubbing Club – Super Science Fiction
In Tom Whyman’s head, Seal Cub Clubbing Club are the greatest pop band of this most recent millennium. What does he make of them in real life though?
Dananananaykroyd – Hey Everyone!
With two hyperactive frontmen and a ‘wall of hugs’ the ‘Kroyd are almost certainly the best live band in the country at the moment…and they’re pretty amazing on record too.
The Tupolev Ghost – The Tupolev Ghost
In a desperate bid to stay relevant, Tom Whyman will be reviewing everything in ‘Twitter’ format from now on. First up to benefit from this, The Tupolev Ghost, with their new self-titled mini-album…
TLOBF Interview :: Trouble Books
This spring, dream of sleepy morning cuddles soundtracked by the new EP by Trouble Books, whose debut album was one of TLOBF’s favourite lower-key releases of last year. Tom Whyman recently fired a few questions to frontman Keith.
The Empty Set – As Neat As A New Pin
Almost certain to be the lost indie-pop classic of the year. According to Tom Whyman you literally have no excuse whatsoever for not listening to this album.
