Polar Bear: Same As You

Read "Same As You" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Polar Bear's seventh album, Same As You appears barely 12 months after album number six, In Each And Every One (Leaf Label, 2014). It's far from being a “more of the same" follow-up though--this is a softer, more-at-peace Polar Bear sound than its predecessor, a mellower vibe. There are just six tracks on the ...

Ant Law: Zero Sum World

Read "Ant Law: Zero Sum World" reviewed by Phil Barnes


The idea of the “Zero Sum Game" originates in economic game theory--in essence a situation in which gains or losses made by one participant when combined with those of all other participants sum to nil. So the cake is finite and if one person takes more, less is available to others. Guitarist and composer Ant Law ...

Blue-Eyed Hawk: Under The Moon

Read "Under The Moon" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Blue-Eyed Hawk is an exciting new band from the UK, debuting its original songs on Under The Moon. The album title is taken from the poem by W B Yeats: the band's name also comes from that poem. Such choices suggest a literate quartet, a suggestion supported by the intelligent, thoughtful, lyrics and music to be ...

Read "In Each And Every One" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Polar Bear is back. Not just with a bang, but with a whole array of other sounds, including the occasional whimper.

WorldService Project: Articulate Arsonists

Read "WorldService Project: Articulate Arsonists" reviewed by John Kelman


It's a very different time to be a musician than it was even 20 years ago, when major record labels still existed, providing tour support and money to make recordings. It's also a very different time because, with the upsurge of DIY recordings, there's more music being released every month than ever before. Add to that ...

Leafcutter John: The Forest And The Sea

Read "The Forest And The Sea" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Sono canzoni che perdono l'orientamento dentro delicate nuvole elettroniche quelle del londinese John Burton, conosciuto come Leafcutter John, narrazioni fragili in cui si intromettono bisbigli, rumori ambientali, piccole deviazioni che piegano gli arpeggi della chitarra e la malinconia della voce. Musicista che già con i precedenti dischi - in particolare The Housebound Spirit del 2003, tra ...
