Albums
Moving Units - Hexes for Exes (Metropolis)
“What’s the point of it all?” asks Moving Units’ Blake Miller in the opening track of their second album.
The Pyramids - The Pyramids (Domino)
Basically the Archie Bronson Outfit but with bassist Dorian missing.
Anthony Reynolds - British Ballads (Spinney)
A grand and substantial record that at first seems poe-faced but reveals deep humour and class the more you hang out with it.
Spank Rock and Benny Blanco - Bangers & Cash (Downtown)
Spank Rock recently said this five-track EP isn’t just about pussy and ass. What? The tracks are called ‘Shake That’, ‘B-O-O-T-A-Y’, ‘Loose’, ‘Pu$$y’ and ‘Bitch!’.
Various Artists - Box of Dub 2 (Soul Jazz)
Far more than a round up of what’s going on in dubstep because, as with its predecessor, every track is an exclusive to the album.
VietNam - S/T (Kemado)
Outta Brooklyn and hyped. I know, another one. But VietNam don’t do scratchy art punk for hipsters.
The Warlocks - Heavy Deavy Skull Lover (Tee Pee)
Fuzzy, dark, intense, distorted, trippy. It sounds like the last Warlocks record! Sweet!
Republic of Loose - Aaagh! (Loaded Dice)
Republic of Loose are an oddity: a bunch of rough-looking piss heads from Ireland who love smooth R&B.
