The Hoosiers
 Blown away, 2010-08-24
There's not a lot of modern pop that I "get", but this album is a corker. As with earlier things from the Hoosiers there's an eclectic mix of introspection and full-blown fun. There's a wry sense of humour to proceedings. Although they evidently take their (superbly crafted) songs seriously they don't take themselves seriously at all. It makes them hugely endearing.
There are shades of The Beatles, Pet shop boys, sometimes even Blondie or ABBA spring to mind, in a dark twisted sort of way. But ultimately what you hear is the Hoosiers. Stand out tracks: Who said anything; Made to Measure; Glorious. Little Brutes is pretty bleak as a finale... and that's what I like. just when you are enjoying yourself the rug gets pulled from under you. A bit like real life - in a mad surreal sort of way. I would say this is top quality stuff: catchy, melodic, sinister, touching, sing-along songs that refuse to leave your head. I loved it!

 Hopeful, 2010-08-23
If the single 'Slow' is anything to go by, all fans of Karen Carpenter will not be disappointed. Not only does this lovely lady have her voice, but the arrangement is to die for. I know it's bad to make comparisons, but someone who can bring the magic of karen back into the lives of fans old and new will make a lot of people seriously happy.

Amazing voice, 2010-09-02
I love everything about this album. It's simply brilliant. She has such a wonderful voice. I love the quirkiness of the lyrics and the catchiness of the tunes. This is the best album I've bought in a very long time.

Foals
Foals, suggests Total Life Forever, are thinkers. Whereas most bands seem comfortable dropping a second album that sounds a lot like the first one but recorded a bit quicker, this Oxfordshire quintet have done their utmost to reinvent themselves as every turn. Largely gone is the furious dance-punk that powered their earlier singles, already beginning to fade as they dropped their 2008 debut Antidotes. Replacing it on Total Life Forever is a broader musical canvas that is becoming becomes increasingly hard to pigeonhole. Recorded with producer Luke Smith, formerly of Clor, songs like "After Glow" and "This Orient" are voluminous, heavily textured exer...

Simply an amazing album, 2010-07-08
i had recently found it difficult to come across new exciting "indie" music, but this album simply is amazing, it fulfilled everything i have been looking for. Always like this, Evening/Morning & Dust on the Ground are the standout songs for me on this. I can never get bored of this album it really is simply amazing the only album that could have fulfilled this would be the xx.

Arcade Fire
"Wake Up," a track from, Funeral, the debut full-length by Montreal's Arcade Fire, builds from a midtempo strum into a "You Can't Hurry Love" gallop, which singer Win Butler interrupts with a yell: "You better look out below!" Somehow, none of this hits the ear as over-emotional. Throughout Funeral, the band augments its five-piece line-up with string sections, weaving a near-cinematic, folk-influenced chamber pop that slots in somewhere between Belle and Sebastian's delicacy and the robust classicism of '80s New Zealand bands such as the Chills and the Verlaines. The album drips with enough romanticism to rival Jeff Buckley's Grace, from the dreamsca...
Its called Funeral..., 2010-08-23
And that's for a reason, during the time the album was being pieced together the band member's experienced some deaths in their families. The sound of the album is completely alive though. The emotion that is poured into the album is really very raw and real, the accompanying music is also astoundingly gritty yet complex and beautiful. The album is full of love, (Win and Regine were married also mid recording) sadness, death and family. It's about finding new starts and coping with loss, it tells stories and teaches lessons: "if you want something, dont ask for nothing". The ecclecticness of the music and vocals (some in french) all come together so well and uniquely that the album really must be considered a masterpiece. There isn't any sound like it and it manages to be very truthful and sensitive ("My family tree/is losing all it's leaves") without being too emotional to deal with. It may not click with some at first but anyone with an appreciation for real depth will surely get it sooner or later.
