Read "Pallett" reviewed by Neil Duggan

Read "Garden City" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Mention the idea of the “garden city" to the good people of Britain and the likeliest (polite) response will be “Welwyn" or perhaps “Letchworth." Bristol, home to Eyebrow, isn't such a settlement but Garden City is the name the duo has given to its fourth album release. Pete Judge and Paul Wigens formed Eyebrow ...

The band seems to have at least some insight into the workings of magic. Its third album, Weaving The Spell, is full of relaxed, spacious, charms ...
