“Our Song,” respectively.To make life even sweeter, Swift also has this week’s highest vaulting new single, “Picture to Burn,” which bows at No. 52. The only other first-time songs [...]

Dean Owens - Whisky Hearts
|
In many ways, Dean Owens’s third solo album is very old fashioned. That isn’t meant as a criticism - musically it references huge slabs of Springsteen (especially the opener, Years Ago, one of those slyly political songs with its ripe rip of sax, and the gloriously uplifting Hallelujah) and in its more relaxed moments the [...]

Tom Baxter - Skybound
|
It’s been three years since we heard anything from Tom Baxter. His 2004 release Feather and Stone, especially its opening track My Declaration, was a Radio Two favourite, but since then, not a sausage. Now comes Skybound, an autobiographical album, which shows off his angelic, dreamy voice with an eclectic mix of sounds and styles.A [...]

The Magnetic Fields - Distortion (Nonesuch)
|
It’s four years since the last The Magnetic Fields album, i, but Stephin Merritt has hardly been idle. Yet where 69 Love Songs showed a remarkable profligacy of songwriting, and Showtunes elicited his love of Chinese music, Distortion is a conscious step back - not just looking over its shoulder, but swiveling round for a [...]

Sara Bareilles
|
As a gifted singer and a versatile pianist with no formal training, Sara Bareilles burst onto the pop scene with a naturally skilled voice ranging from powerful and
soulful to sweet and gentle, earning her instant comparisons to Fiona Apple and Norah Jones. At age 18, she left the Redwood forests of her hometown, Eureka, CA, [...]

Fogerty’s Creative Revival
|
John Fogerty’s newest, Revival, is easily his best record since Centerfield, and has some of his best material since the CCR days. Songs like Gunslinger, Creedence Song, and Long Dark Night hold their own against Creedence’s best stuff.
The album starts off with Don’t You Wish It Was True, with a beat that is similar to [...]

Tindersticks
If you like American Music Club, the Tindersticks or like artists, then this is for you. Do yourself a favor and buy the band's catalog. 6. Jim Ford, "The Sounds of Our Time" (Bear Family Records) -- This is a reissue of an album originally ... I've done so many compilations of bands that I like for friends (mainly Fall, Pavement, Tindersticks) that when a compilation finally does come out it's interesting to see what the differences are. We're probably due a Best of Pavement soon, probably ... I adored the summer holidays where I could listen to Mark & Lard (who else would play Tindersticks at 2.30pm in the afternoon?), Chris Moyles (when he was at his comedy peak), then have my tea and then Listen to Lamaq and then John Peel. Radio 1 has ... TINDERSTICKS drummer AL MACAULEY has walked out on the group's current European tour, suffering from "exhaustion". Tindersticks are currently on a European tour, which called at the London Royal Albert Hall earlier in the month, backed by local ... Tindersticks are to released expanded editions of the five studio albums they recorded for ISLAND between 1993 and 1999. 'Tindersticks' (1st), 'Tindersticks' (2nd), 'Curtains', 'Nenette Et Boni' and 'Simple Pleasure' will all feature an extra CD of ... TINDERSTICKS are to release their soundtrack to the forthcoming CLAIRE DENIS film 'TROUBLE EVERY DAY'. The film, which stars Vincent Gallo and Beatrice Dalle has already been released in Europe, where it has stirred controversy because of its scenes ... Bonnie 'Prince' Billy , Jarvis Cocker and Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian fame are to contribute to a compilation centering on the theme of childhood. Songs For The Young At Heart , which also features Cerys Matthews and The Tindersticks ... One where Hear'say don't exist and Tindersticks -stock is probably a major cultural event. And the Bad Seeds grow into the arena brilliantly, an eight strong gang of angry men, four short of a hanging jury, letting the crashing drama of the melodies ... They’re certainly linked aesthetically to the noir rock of Tindersticks and Nick Cave and such, but for me Devastations focus more on crafting their own unique tones and voice, even if it’s a subtle one. It sounds extremely cool and much more ... with hints of terrible events occurring just out of earshot: "We're grown men, we should be responsible/But the fuck with that, let's make a spectacle". With flashes of Tindersticks and early New Order, this is the hard stuff alright. Stephen Dalton
