Yeah, it’s a cracker: bits of NIN, bits of Goldfrapp, even a touch of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Garbage too (probably just put a lot of people off with that last one). I also really like the way that, while it’s got some catchier/poppier numbers, they haven’t front-loaded the album with them.

BTW, I get all my music info from print sources: can someone please let me know if it’s E. M. A. or EM(M)A? (comedy answers welcome)

Fresh have their debut album out this week and it’s going to be phenomenal.

Also this Converge news has me v excited

well the second part of this has happened pretty swiftly!

Well for starters, Paul Draper’s solo album has just been released, in case the DiS reviewers didn’t know.

#71

We’re not covering it as I manage one of the co-writers (The Anchoress). Same reason we didn’t review the Ed Harcourt album and records he’s had a hand in writing/producing.

Oi! I helped put that together.

That’s interesting. Is it a DiS policy or a rule across the board? I’d never considered things like this before.

Bollocks. Susanne Sundfør’s new album release has been put back to 8th September. I was looking forward to the big hitters’ releases this Friday including hers.

Just started on new protomartyr and mogwai, former is awesome, latter is good but nothing new

#76

Todd Terje is the one I am most excited by.

Actually it was pretty “rapid” in that there’s no fannnying about, got to the point fairly quickly for them
