Albums
The Raveonettes - Lust Lust Lust (Fierce Panda)
This third LP from Denmarkâs Raveonettes marks a return to the fuzzy racket they made on their 2003 full-length debut, The Chain Gang of Love, half at the expense of the sweet pop they tried on their last record, Pretty In Black.
Blitzen Trapper - Wild Mountain Nation (Sub Pop)
Short at half an hour but packed full of crunchy, fun surprises - a Mariachi horn here, a clumsy abstract rhythm there.
Dimension X - Dimension X (KML)
Absolutely crackers record that sees three mad noise freaks marry excerpts of stories broadcast on cult fifties radio show Dimension X with a barrage of drums, guitars and spooky electronic effects.
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.
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.
