On album number three there’s a sense that Editors wanted to create a career defining album. The question is, have they done it? Shawn Murtough reviews.
Reviews Mogwai
Strike The Colours – Seven Roads
‘Seven Roads’ is a refined and reflective set of songs that captivate in their own, largely subdued way. Andrew Dowdall reviews the second album from Strike The Colours.
Invada Invasion (Mogwai, Zu, Crippled Black Phoenix) – Colston Hall, Bristol 26/09/09
If you leave a show with a smile on your face even though you’ve just damaged your ears beyond redemption, you can probably count it as a success.
There Will Be Fireworks – There Will Be Fireworks
There Will Be Fireworks are the latest band to well up from the fertile Scottish plains, and we suspect, come the end of 2009, they’re going to be near the top of that ragged heap, if not at the very top…
Bloc Party – Intimacy Remixed
Bloc Party’s frustratingly ill-realised third album Intimacy needed an overhaul, but Intimacy Remixed is not the overhaul it needed as Andy Johnson dissapointingly discovers.
Plus/Minus – Xs on Your Eyes
Chris Marling can’t quite put his finger on WHY this is such a great album, all he knows is that it IS a great album.
Mogwai – The Hawk is Howling
Rich Hughes reviews Mogwai’s latest post-rock opus. The question is, after over 10 years making records, can they still keep it interesting?
Vessels – White Fields and Open Devices
Marc Higgins reviews one of the freshest and impressive slices of post/experimental rock to be released for quite some time.
