Late of the Pier are on a one-way trip to all tomorrows after-parties
“There’s too much respect in music. You’ve got to stamp all over your influences to get the shards you can use to build new influences with the glue of instinct. Don’t have respect.” You’ll know this lot. They’re the ones who released 2007’s weirdest single, ‘Bathroom Gurgle’: a behemoth of sound pretty much unprecedented in mainstream...

This is a documentation of my journey through 2009 so far. Exciting,...

The Whip - Divebomb
Rarely does the US release of an already-available foreign record seem like a true second chance, but kudos to Razor & Tie for picking up The Whip’s X Marks Destination for release on March 3rd because it’s a solid album that got overlooked in oh-eight’s deluge of post-Klaxons dance bands. The Mancunian foursome do the full-band electro-house thing and do it well, drawing...
