Mazzy Star fans have been waiting a long, long time for a new album. The next best thing came along in 2001, when Hope Sandoval put out Bavarian Fruit Bread, her solo debut with the Warm Inventions (which is, for all intents and purposes, My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig). It had some impressive [...]

When we meditated on Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally's gorgeous sophomore album Devotion we had the following to say: [Y]ou can't fall back on Mazzy Star or Galaxie 500 references because they've pushed themselves into their own, unique solar system. Victoria's voice and woozy after-hours organ tones are more assured, Alex has lost the beard but gained more inventive, atmospheric guitar lines. For...

The idea of the band This Mortal Coil is quite ingenious, really. Ivo Watts-Russell, who founded the label 4AD Records (probably past, present or future home of some of your favorite bands) started a band in the early 80s whose original purpose seems to have been to promote his label. The band featured [...]

Warpaint are Emily Kokal, Jen Lindberg, Theresa Wayman and Josh Kilghoffer. They hail from LA and have been together for a number of years, slowly evolving with various line up changes. Warpaint produce a translucent hypnotic sound that colours mellow, fuzzy pictures. If we were to frame these pictures they would probably find a space alongside Mazzy Star and Cat Power. Dreamy vocals, hazy guitars,...

Girls @ the Black Cat. Photo by Holly Le. You'd be forgiven for thinking that the Real Estate / Girls show Tuesday night at the Black Cat was an extended tribute to The Clean, an open-mic homage to the under-known but influential Kiwi punk band. Hell, the show might have been a two-set-long cover act, the way both bands indulge in heavy chorus pedal and simple chord progressions and fancy-free songs...
