Record Reviews

Reviews of releases by musicians and bands from Brighton & beyond.

Brighton music review Smallprint
  Smallprint Records classes itself as  a “future ambient” label, which is actually a perfect description for this compilation. The imperfect but slightly longer description is below. Listening will instantly transport you on to a starship, lazily drifting through a bright nebula, the viewing platforms large windows allowing you to see a […]

Smallprint Vol. 1 (Compilation)

Gallivan band Brighton music
  There is something fun about this EP. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Something that reminds me of a circus side show. It’s the kind of rock that you can jump around to. I tried jumping around to it in my room but it didn’t quite capture […]

Gallivan – I Hope This Crashes EP

Adam Wedd
  This four track recording from Surrey based singer Adam Wedd stamps his authority on folk music. This is an EP you will want to stick on whilst  delicately running your fingers through the hair of your partner as you share an intimate kiss. A bold claim right? Well I will test […]

Them The Sky – Fall (FinJin Remix)

The Correspondents are without a doubt one of the best duos in music right now. Chucks’ production skills combined with Mr. Bruce’s flamboyant stage presence have turned them into a live act you simply must see. Don’t just take our word for it either, The Telegraph have sung their praises […]

The Correspondents – Fear & Delight

  It is strange to think that on June 23rd 2011 Them The Sky played their debut gig. The venue: Green Door Store. The event: Art Noise ‘The Glamour Issue’. It was in fact only our second event ever, and it really set the standard for the quality which we […]

Them The Sky – Echolalia EP
