DRESSES (LP + CD + 180GR)
12 Inch LP 29.04.13
so, here we are at loch lomonds fourth album, dresses, and its a spectacular, moving piece of work. employing piano, cello, flugelhorn, vibraphone, dulcimer, banjo, belle plates and, perhaps most affectingly of all, some dazzling choral arrangements, dresses can be remarkably understated for an album flushed with so many orchestral characteristics

AUTOPILOT EP
12 Inch 30.10.12
the second single to come from miaoux miaouxs acclaimed >light of the north< album, the limited >autopilot< e.p brings us the original track backed with a heavy-duty line-up remixing select tracks from the album. the original title-track is a glittering synth-fuelled hymn to heartbreak, which incorporates elements of bass and hip-hop, while recalling the stylistic flourishes of boards of canada. reworking >hey sound!<, glasgows very own auntie flo and esa bring their exotic stomp to the table: a percussive journey soaked in dubwise holy water. tom furses remix of >stop the clocks< is almost like a reigned-in, beat driven version of john elliots outer space project, thick cosmic ritual elixir bubbling over the sides. already having made his name on skreams disfigured dubz, echo park takes on >autopilot<, turning the original into a cast-iron lesson in militant rhythm. echo parks real talent however lies with integrating elements of the original seamlessly with his own punishing sound palette.

HUMAN DON T BE ANGRY (LP + CD)
12" LP + CD 24.04.12
hinter dem namen human dont be angry steckt mit malcolm middleton ein altbekannter schotte - ob auf solopfaden oder gemeinsam mit aidan moffat als arab strap. auf seinem gleichnamigen album finden sich neun tracks. insgesamt erwarten den hörer knappe 47 minuten pure brillianz, was sonst ist zu erwarten? ob man dabei von einem instrumental-album mit gelegentlichen vocal-tracks oder von einem vocal-album mit gelegentlichen instrumental-songs sprechen soll, bleibt jedem selbst überlassen. was wir aber mit sicherheit wissen, ist, dass malcolm selber von einer kreuzung aus jan hammer und iron maiden spricht.

NO SELFISH HEART (LP, 180GR + CD)
12 Inch LP + CD 14.03.13
schaut man sich die stilistische vielfalt und ungebundenheit der phantom band an, erwartet man regelrecht, dass mindestens einer der sechs mitglieder noch ein alter ego (oder auch zwei) besitzt. im falle von rick anthony, dessen rick redbeard-doppelgänger sich seit dem 2009er debüt der phantom band eher im hintergrund versteckt hielt, ist man trotzdem zunächst überrascht von den ruhigen und introvertierten songs des schotten. *no selfish heart* ist eine warme und ergreifend düstere sammlung, die von universellen themen wie der liebe, der gegenwart und dem vergehen der zeit handelt.
limitierte pressung auf schwerem 180 gramm vinyl, cd-version des albums inklusive.

IF THEN NOT WHEN (180G LP + CD
12" LP + CD 13.12.11
the ghost stories, murder ballads, and grimoires on the new full length album >if then not when< by louisville, kys kings daughters & sons are haunting, spare and at times explosively un settling, part william faulkner, part led zeppelin. informed by, but not beholden to the history of its members (shipping news, rachels, the for carnation, shannon wright), their songs are singular, thoughtful and best heard on very large speakers.
heavyweight vinyl lp, including cd-version of the whole album.

EVERYTHING`S GETTING OLDER (3X12 INCH + CD)
3x12 Inch 24.05.11
so here it is then, everything s getting older : aidan moffat s first full length collaboration with bill wells and it is, in a nutshell, one of the best albums of his career. we ve long been harping on about aidan s skill as a lyricist but with this piece of work you get a real sense that he s really hit his stride: in the youth-obsessed bear pit that is the music industry nowadays, who better to ruminate on the ups and downs of approaching forty than aidan who delivers a set of songs that are as funny, poignant, filthy and insightful as anything he s ever written.

SEASON OF THE SPARKS (CD)
CD 27.11.09
recording as lord cut-glass, alun woodward, formerly of the delgados, releases his first album since the delgados universal audio in 2004. extraordinarily ambitious, >lord cut glass< was written, arranged and in large part performed by woodward, recalling the orchestral grandeur of his former band whilst forging a style of acerbic, sardonic songwriting all of his own. lord cut glass features galloping percussion, waltzes, marches and promenades of male and female harmony: delicate and serene creations punctuated by casual profanity and shot through with brazenly hilarious words-to-the-wise.

PREVENTION (LP)
12 Inch LP 07.08.09
for those of us fortunate enough to be acquainted with de rosas 2006 debut >mend<, the wait for album number two has been arduous and seemingly interminable, thirty months is a long time by anyone?s standards but given their lead singer?s aspirations, it was unlikely that the album was going to be rushed. finally complete and packaged with original artwork by glasgow?s literary titan alasdair gray, ?prevention? builds on the promise of their debut and goes some way towards establishing de rosa as one of the most accomplished and (dare we say it) cerebral bands writing today. it?s certainly been a long wait, but for many, ?prevention? will be one of the anticipated releases of 2009.
de rosa?s strengths lie in their ability to fashion unforgettable melodies from unconventional song structures, henry?s contemplative, vivid lyrics - often referencing local areas from his native lanarkshire ? tend to linger in the memory long after the music has faded, which, given the scarcity of genuinely affecting music nowadays, ought to elevate de rosa to the ranks of scotland?s finest songwriters. following the critical acclaim heaped on their debut (one of mojo?s albums of 2006), and the drafting in of an additional member, the band set about perfecting their unique blend of urban, parochial folk and angular, twisted guitar lines, enhanced considerably this time round with layers of keyboards and electronica.

CHECKMATE SAVAGE
12 Inch 17.03.09
the debut album by the phantom band has finally been completed and it emphatically surpasses every conceivable expectation chemikal underground harboured after signing them. a nine track, nearly one hour long mash up of krautrock, swamp rock and beefheart oddness, violent femmes, nick cave and the beta band. the album was recorded in the bands adopted home city of glasgow, beginning at chemikal undergrounds chem 19 and finishing at franz ferdinands own facility at an old town hall in govan. paul savage of cult glasgow band the delgados served as producer, engineer and guiding force. the recording sessions were like their early jams: long, meandering and experimental, the band beating out rhythms on broken wood blocks and organist andys shelvaphones, a home made instrument created from metal shelf brackets.
