What sound does Goat make? What does it look like? When talking about the Swedish band Goat that is, it is hard to say. It is certainly psychedelic but when Brightonsfinest did an interview with the band they said, “Psychedelia is music that is free” of any barriers, meaning…
The Growlers have built a vast musical catalogue since their inception a decade ago. Four albums, a smattering of EPs and the coining of a festival has meant the band are constantly working – you can stuff your Jack Whites and Damon Albarns, this group have slaved away into…
The latest album from local dub heavyweights Resonators comes out this Friday on Wah Wah 45s. Their third full length studio recording has been almost four years coming. During that time, they’ve played only infrequently – but far from growing rusty, they spent this time consistently writing and practising,…
Welcome to the world of Justin Vernon. It ain't no ordinary place, you see; it’s impenetrable at times, a bit dark and joyless at times, but always with a deep tenderness at heart. He made his name via the mystique-filled debut album For Emma,…

Heads Up is primarily an experimental record, one that furthers the adventurous spirit that was apparent from the beginning with songs such as the enigmatic and multi-tempoed ‘Elephants’, from their debut EP of 2008, Exquisite Corpse. Apparently recorded in pairs and by each band member alone, before they would…
The début album from The Wytches, Annabel Dream Reader, is one of the most impressive albums I've heard over the last few years and I always wondered if they would be able to follow it up with something equally as good. I'm happy to report that All Your Happy…
