Re: What are you listening to?

I've been listening to the new Oasis album, Dig Out Your Soul, and actually rather enjoying it. I've always been put off by the swagger, the vocal exaggerations and the almost Cranberries level of simplicity in their lyrics, so I really wasn't expecting much, but actually, it was very good. They still shove in too many Beatles pastiches, but they're more restrained than they used to be, and in the extra space there are touches of everything from glam to psychedelia and even a whisper of Americana in places. Its so much more interesting and varied than I've come to expect of Oasis.

Although perhaps it's just that nothing else can seem derivative after reviewing The Metros.

GHQ - Square Growth Sessions (Sloow Tapes Cassette)



One of my favorite releases from the GHQ people. Mainly due to the tracks being sufficiently extended to allow some development of the music, unlike their "high profile" releases, though excellent, mostly are annoyingly truncated. Featuring some lovely long drones, released last year in a ridiculously limited edition of 150 copies.

Lisa Knapp - wild And Undaunted.

Beautiful and accessible folk. If you can do Nick Drake you can do this. Not twee.

Good hifi can send a shiver down your spine. You can get much the same effect by dropping an ice cube down the back of your shirt.
