Guillemots -
Trains To Brazil
new single 11 Sept
The Guillemots somewhat surprisingly tackle the security issues facing us all today with nonchalance and spirit. A joyous carnival type sound carried along with a big bass drum beat at 168bpm, Fyfe Dangerfield's lazy philosophical vocal captivates and at 3'40" this is without doubt one of the best records of the year. A glorious celebration of life, to quote Fyfe "and it's got sleighbells in it!". XXXXx guillemots.com (Posted 6 Sept)


Colours Are Brighter -
Various new album 16 October
I never thought I'd ever hear Ricky Wilde's 1972 miss 'I Am An Astronaught' again. Yes Ricky, son of Marty, sister of Kim ... well low and behold here it is sung by Snow Patrol ... wonders never cease. A fun and very worthy compilation, highlights from The Kooks, Four Tet, franz Ferdinand and The Divine Comedy's 'megamix'. moneys raised go to Save The Children.

Razorlight -
America new single 2 October
Johnny Borrell has written another classic pop song here, a melancholic observation about 'panicky' thangs Stateside ... plenty of them ... see Razorlight on their Autumn tour starting in Aberdeen AECC on 20th Oct, then Hull 21st, Sheffield Arena 22nd, Nottingham, Swindon, Plymouth, Cardiff Arena on the 28th, Brighton 31st and London Wembley Arena on November 1.

Imogen Heap -

The Long Blondes -
Once And Never Again new single 23 October
The Long Blondes debut album 'Someone To drive You Home' will is due on November 6th. The taster single 'Once And Never Again' is a perky little pop tune which received singalong status at Leeds and Reading, and should easily follow their debut hit 'Weekend Without Makeup' into the Top 30.

The Human Value -
Give Me new single 18 September
Johnny Depp's Viper Rooms favourites have just relocated from their native LA to London in search of chart success. Their single debut comes with 'Give Me' a track mixed by Neal Pogue of Outkast/Transplants/Pink fame. this dark little number stands out a little, so with a little luck it should raise a few eyebrows ... earlobes ... you know.

Archie Bronson Outfit -
Cherry Lips new single 9 Oct
These guys are trying something different and are well worth catching at Cardiff Barfly on Friday 29th september. There's a rough and ready feel to a stomping rhythm track with all their material and 'Cherry lips' is probably more than a little rude. Their album 'Derdang Derdang' was recorded in Nashville 2005 with Jaquire King of Tom Waits & Kings Of Leon fame. V. worthy and could catch on. XXXX archiebronsonoutfit.co.uk (Posted 6 Sept)
Khoma -
Stop Making Speeches
new single 2 October
This 24 carat Swedish rock group can be characterised with their thoughtful, yet aggressive, and yet powerful sensitive vocal harmoies. 'Stop Making Speeches', a great title, a fine record KKKKK from Kerrang and from us XXXX khoma.net (Posted 6 Sept)
James Yorkston -
Year Of the Leopard
new album 25 September
James Yorkston provides a beautiful, relaxing accoustic listen here. Reminiscent of Nick Drake, alternative country it maybe, but subtle and gentle it is definately. Opening with the mellow 'Summer Song', 'Year Of the Leopard' is produced by former Talk Talk member Paul Webb and makes an excellent addition to the oblique side of your collection.
