Anna Calvi – Anna Calvi
With her self-titled debut, Anna Calvi has unleashed an overpowering howl of defiance, lovelorn desperation and incomparable passion on 2011. Tiffany Daniels reviews.
TLOBF Interview // Anna Calvi
Ahead of the release of her self-titled debut, Anna Calvi speaks to Tiffany Daniels about supporting Grinderman, developing a sound unlike anyone else’s, and recording in solitude.
Various Artists – Black Hole: Californian Punk 1977-1980
Jon Savage shines a light on the forgotten and fallen of the Californian Punk scene.
Win! Tickets to see Still Corners + Twin Sister in London
Twin Sister’s debut London show, promoted by our friends over at Rockfeedback, will undoubtedly sell out (if it hasn’t done so already) which means you’re only going to gain entry one of two ways: 1) Pretend you’re in one of the bands – fashion tip: corduroy trousers, vintage shop chic, slightly awkward exterior or 2) Win a pair of tickets through us. It’s your call but you’ve probably got more chance with the latter.
Twin Sister: ‘All Around and Away We Go’
Like watching a re-run of a whacked out daydream from a *very* good acid trip, the clip features possibly the most adorable dance moves known to man situated amongst some relatively fucked up imagery. A-MAZING.
TLOBF Interview // Twin Sister
Jen Long nervously accepts the chance to interview the rather mysterious Twin Sister…
Twin Sister – Color Your Life / Vampires With Dreaming Kids

She & Him – Volume 2
Volume 2 pretty much picks up where Volume 1 left off… but that’s no bad thing when She and Him are involved.
Pavement – Quarantine The Past: The Best Of
Pavement’s music was lovably lackadaisical and amusingly ambiguous, while also being simple enough that any college stoner on the couch thought they could write songs like that. This “Best Of” proves it.
Galaxie 500 – Today / On Fire / This Is Our Music
Although none of these three albums quite merit classic status, those yet to subject themselves to the Galaxie 500 experience should definitely investigate these reissues.
To Rococo Rot – Speculation
Speculation, the Berlin trio’s sixth full-length LP, is their warmest, most human album yet. Recorded in a secluded rural area of southern Germany ”like a band playing a live show”, the bucolic surroundings and more freeform dynamic are pleasingly evident.
Lightspeed Champion – Life Is Sweet! Nice To Meet You
Musically, Life Is Sweet! Nice To Meet You is a fine example of how to prolong success after a well-acclaimed debut release. Sadly, Hynes fails to move forward lyrically in the same way. Amy Pay reviews.
Pavement ready Best Of compilation
Pavement are set to release a best of compilation, and Domino have announced a special, related, competition with some amazing prizes…
