Eagles Co-op Live, Manchester, June 7
For a band synonymous with California sunshine rock, overcast Manchester may seem an unlikely place for the Eagles to bow out. However, it’s here that they have chosen to play their last ever shows on British soil, as their Long Goodbye tour draws to a close. JONI MITCHELL IS ON THE COVER OF THE NEW UNCUT – ORDER YOUR COPY HERE! After a rocky start, with several of its opening shows having to be moved or postponed due to issues with the building, the Co-op Live arena is now in full swing. The Eagles are a good advert for...

The Decemberists As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again
It’s a bold statement, 24 years into your career, to label an album your band’s best, as Colin Meloy, the songwriter behind The Decemberists, has described As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again. Assembled with the vinyl revival in mind – fitting across four “sides”, each with a distinct sonic feel – it’s an album that riffs on over two decades’ worth of operatic literary references, shape-shifting indie-folk whimsy and prog-rock experimentation, offering sonic easter eggs to long-term fans while both charming and bamboozling newcomers to their world.

BOB DYLAN Advertisement Highway 61 Revisited COLUMBIA, 1965 My grandparents had these neighbours who were getting rid of a ton of records, which are still among some of my most cherished albums. On the same day, I got Out Of Our Heads by the Stones, Wild Honey by The Beach Boys, and some others. But of those, Highway 61 Revisited has just been a constant for me....
Einstürzende Neubauten Rampen (apm: alien pop music)
In their own peculiar way, Einstürzende Neubauten have always been ruthlessly efficient. In their early days, they smelted completely new music from the ruins of West Berlin, scavenging everyday and industrial objects due to the necessity of poverty, to transmute, alchemically, into musical manna. In 2023, that practicality manifested differently. Ready to record a new album, but with limited time on the schedule, the group decided to use their ‘rampen’ – in-concert improvisations – as base material for the 15 songs that constitute Rampen (apm: alien pop music). JONI MITCHELL IS ON THE COVER OF THE NEW UNCUT –...

Gastr Del Sol We Have Dozens Of Titles
David Grubbs has been thinking about this release from the moment Gastr Del Sol ceased, but a few things had to happen in the ensuing 26 years. For one, Grubbs and Jim O’Rourke had to reconnect in person in Tokyo back in 2016. Then, an excellent live recording of the band’s final performance was unearthed from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation archives, captured in 1997 at the Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville in rural Quebec.

Willie Nelson The Border
It is already beyond serious argument that the string of tremendous albums issued by Willie Nelson during his eighties established a formidable benchmark in the admittedly little-contested field of octogenarian discographies. Having blown out 90 candles in April 2023, Nelson is now setting a daunting standard for future nonagenarians who fancy taking him on. JONI MITCHELL IS ON THE COVER OF THE NEW UNCUT – ORDER YOUR COPY HERE! Just as last year’s Bluegrass was a deft reworking of a dozen of his own classics to make them sound even more like traditional standards than they already did, The...Recent Posts
