FROM THE ARCHIVE: Originally posted Feb 9th 2007... So there’s me, in bed, still in that delightful state of being neither fully awake nor out cold, and the girlfriend’s leaping about and the curtains are open and it’s all “snow snow snow” and the radio newsreader’s telling me not to travel unless I really have to and I’m desperate to drift off again but before I know it the duvet’s off and I’m marched to the kitchen window to gaze at a garden smothered with six inches of the stuff...»

Festival fever starts early in 2008 as DiS heads south... further... bingo... for the annual Big Day Out festival in Australia. Our man on the Gold Coast takes in Arcade Fire and Björk while dodging questionable domestic rock acts and wrestling rugger thugs. Spirits are high and rising»

Harnessing the energy of a rare minute in which a disparate range of artists from the past and present can look to the future and plausibly congregate on the same bill, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California has steadily become world renowned as the proverbial melting pot, tripping over itself with cultural icons both obscure and ubiquitous...»

Volta finds Björk taking a few steps backwards in order to leap forward – the new album, out on May 7, possesses its fair share of Vespertine and Homogenic echoes but manages to feel entirely fresh at the same time. Propulsive, attention-grabbing songs sit shoulder-to-shoulder with tracks that are so soft and delicate the slightest surge in volume could shatter them irreparably...»
