Life Of Leisure is a record that resembles a woozy Technicolor frolic through a field of opiates. Give it a listen - you know you want to...

Hendrick Weber's first release for Rough Trade dissapointingly throws a few spanners in the works.

Gotta love a band whose name implies alcoholism...

A mix of folk and electronica is all well and good - but what happens when you don't have the tunes?

Odd Blood's peaks simply can't compensate for its valleys.

It's no "Shock The Monkey".   It's not even "In Your Eyes". 

The Montreal sextet's epic new album ups the ante by expanding their psychedelic tendencies to a  grand scale.

Ted Leo's latest full length is a sloppy and uneven disappointment.

Toro Y Moi releases his debut full-length amid two peaks, the popular reign and critical boredom of still-infant subgenre chillwave.  Or was that glo-fi?  And what about shit-gaze?  Seriously, I read an album-review classified as shit-gaze yesterday...  Anyway, well after Causers Of This is finished and released, Toro Y Moi has his work cut out for him.

Weathervanes is too lacking in substance to make it more than an occasional indulgence (like a fried Twinkie) or a novelty album for snugglin'.
