Some albums I’ve listened to that I have really enjoyed
-
Midnight Machines by Lights
Over the past few years I’ve been noticing how things have more of an affect on me than they did when I was younger. Films that touch on the human condition move me more than they did; songs about a loved one have a greater affect as I imagine myself and my girlfriend in place…

Long Way Home by Låpsley
One of the first thoughts that came to me when I listened to Låpsley’s first album, “Long Way Home”, was just how ahead of her years she sounds. She has the air of an artist who has been around for over twenty years or more, when in fact she herself is less than that at…

Kicker by Zella Day
The bohemian style of artistic life has always seemed like a very romantic one to me. The idea of an artist just upping and heading to a remote place for some unknown amount of time with nothing but a journal and a guitar and just writing for themselves. In today’s world of rushing about and…

Natural Born Losers by Nicole Dollanganger
This week’s episode of “The Walking Dead” was quite an emotional one. One of the more likeable, newer characters got a good amount of screen time for some interesting character development. That was just before that person was shot in the back of the head with an arrow. When carrying her body back to the…

All I Need by Foxes
I’ve never been much of a Doctor Who fan but I do sometimes find myself watching it with my girlfriend, who likes it. One of the better episodes I have seen was one called “Mummy on the Orient Express”. It was about a Mummy that was killing off passengers in a space version of the…

This Is Acting by Sia
As soon as the opening song’s first chorus hit my eardrum, it just blew me away. The song felt familiar and yet still fresh. As I continued through the rest of the album I kept getting that same thought. It didn’t take many listens before this album quickly became one of my go-to albums when…

Art Angels by Grimes
This is the album that made me want to start trying to write about my favourite albums – both old and new. Grimes is an artist in the truest sense of the word. She reminds me of people like David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and Jack White – she uses whatever instruments or sounds fit the…

“Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful” by Paloma Faith is a belter of an album. Not one song to skip.

Priest by Priest
I’ve been on a bit of an Electronica / Synth-Pop binge recently, and Priest’s debut L.P, eponymously-titled, fits that habit like a glove. Priest, formally X priest X, is a pseudonym of singer Madeline Priest and producer David Kazyk. Their songs feel like glorious walls of electronic sound. I think I’m right in saying that…

Honeymoon by Lana Del Rey
From the moment I first heard her previous album, “Ultraviolence”, I was hooked. Honeymoon then became my most anticipated album of 2015. And I was not disappointed. From the moment the first strings on the title song began, I could feel that this was going to be another unforgettable dive into the cinematic, haunting world…

Is there anybody out there? The Wall live 1980-81. One the greatest live recordings.
