Ah, so February, you are such a short month, but what you lack in length, you've more than made up for with girth. This month has been bulging with brilliant new records, and tantalising tidbits of details about yet more goodies to come later in the year. Just imagine how hard it's going to be to pick an album of the year, but don't go wishing the year away quite so quickly, especially as this quick glimpse back at what has 'dropped' over the past four weeks will hopefully remind you that there is a lot to love and spend some time listening to before you zoom onto the next best thing... »

With some of this year's biggest new names (James Blake, Anna Calvi, Trophy Wife), some DiS favourites (Frightened Rabbit, The Twilight Sad, Pulled Apart by Horses, Futureheads) and a shit-tonne of local talent (Bear Mask, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Honour Before Glory), as well as some brand new acts that DiS is nodding knowingly at their inclusion on the line-up (Star Slinger, Let's Buy Happiness, Lanterns on the Lake, Still Corners, Catherine A.D.), this year's Live at Leeds is more than a bit good.»

You could say that they've been caught Between An Exploding Earth And An Erupting Sky. In a way. But Los Campesinos! and a few other British bands of our taste have been forced to cancel shows due to the air travel restrictions in place caused by the presence of volcanic ash in the very high sky. »
