Ronderlin – Reflected
This blog moves ever closer to exhausting the list of artists on the Labrador label in which to feature. The Ronderlin camp from Gothenberg have been very quiet of late although they did resurface on Tomt recordings back in January […]
Isolee – My Hi-Matic
Fancy being bludgeoned over the head by the bluntest of instruments? Then you’ve come to the right place because Isolee’s ‘My Hi-Matic’ is so densely packed with gurgling organs it could have you in a tizzy. Not that it’s faceless […]
Air – Ce Matin La
Hard to believe it’s almost a decade since this French duo’s proper debut arrived like a breath of freshness. Their subsequent albums have revealed a turkey and a near return to form as well a successful foray into movie soundtrack […]
Stars of Track and Field – With You
While a collection of words that includes track, stars, field will forever be synonymous with the opening scene’s of Belle & Sebastian’s unapproachable ‘If You’re Feeling Sinister’ album you should bear a thought for the band of the same name. […]
Rocketship – I Love You Like The Way I Used To
What a way to wake up this morning. Swap your cereal for a bowl of hammond, switch that croissant for a blend of summery riffs and substitute your Columbian for a splendid river of driving harmonies. Yep, every morning should […]
Low – Broadway (So Many People)
Hardly surprising that the makers of one of the best Christmas albums (have musical instruments ever been played in such a hushed manner?) have the eternal capacity to turn out low slung classics such as ‘Broadway (So Many People)’. Lifted […]
Gamba – Zimone
No surprise then that it was an email from South Ambulance that pointed the way to their countrymen Gamba. Cut from the same cloth as Labrador’s finest purveyors of wispy dreampop Gamba only formed late last year but already have […]
Port O'Brien – Five And Dime
It seems that the one-dimensional acoustic warble is back in vigour again. The trick with these things in really hooking the listener is to produce something that lifts the drama above its constituent parts. Thankfully, Port O’Brien seem to have […]
All Change Round These Parts
On the celebrious occasion of mp3hugger’s 286th post I am pleased to announce that from now on you will not have to endure the awful spectre of the numbered post (#***). As this is unlikely to upset anyone apart from […]
#285 Hockey Night – Who We Are
If you are into thrills that come completely free (and more importantly in mp3 format) then you’ve got to head over to Daytrotter. You see each week the lads over there have guests that come in and record a session […]
Damn The Lion – You Don't Love Me Like You Used To
I came across this song (getecho) and it is so perfectly suited to a crisp and chilly summer morning (it’s Ireland after all) that it seemed appropriate just now. ‘You Don’t Love Me Like You Used To’ is minimalistic but […]
