A bit of a break with traditional reading patterns this time: a biography - indeed, an auto biography. For reasons I can't entirely pin down, I've never been interested in reading anything beyond fiction or popular treatments of science, etc. Although I've enjoyed the occasional biographical asides in the latter, and the veiled hint that the former are partially biography, I've not felt the need to...

London trio the Golden Silvers made their first trek to the States this week for CMJ. They're buzzing overseas (did Jools Holland, won Glastonbury's New Talent competition in '08, playing the festival in '09, features in NME , etc.), but so far things are quieter Stateside.

You might be expecting some raw garage-rock band but ‘Candy Girl’ (No Pain in Pop 7”, red vinyl) is slow and expectant shoegazing, full of reverb and echoey vocals. It’s like early My Bloody Valentine or the JAMC on high dosage diazepam. It creates a beautifully woozy atmosphere with a very...
