Ghostpoet is a humble man. Despite the huge success of his Mercury nominated debut Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam back in 2011, he's firmly remained himself. His simple, stripped back and honest approach is unlike any other artist around, making his second album Some Say I So I Say Light a very anticipated release indeed. »
Hello. Welcome to Drowned In Sound's weekly digest of the best tracks to be released over the past seven days. On Friday, I was feeling a bit sorry for all the bands who weren't Daft Punk and had recently shoved out a song for you to listen to. Then I realised that Savages, Snakehips, Big Deal and several others had also unveiled some sublime offerings. Obviously, Daft Punk got Single of the Week but it was a close-run thing.»
It’s that time of year again. The time of year when we all get up especially early on a Saturday morning and try to nab our favourite exclusive releases before the ebay-nit-pickers do; the time of year when indie record shops rejoice at their profits bu»
DiS spent three days last week attending three shows in venues of varying sizes and locations, watching bands with very little in common.»
Sky Ferreira of 'Everything Is Embarrassing' fame talks about that massive track, her forthcoming album and tarantulas...»
DiS' Krystina Nellis got 20 minutes to chat with half of Phoenix, right at the start of the whirlwind of mayhem that is their campaign for Bankrupt!, aka. The Follow-Up To DiS' Album of 2009 Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Except it's probably not going to feel anything like that when you hear it - at least, not if the band themselves have anything to do with it. »
Hello and welcome to a brand spanking new edition of DiS Does Singles. It's been a busy seven days for track releases with Jessie Ware, The National, Bibio and several significant others all vying for 'Single Of The Week' status. A word of warning about the Cat Power video: have a pack of Kleenex to hand before pressing play. It will slay you.»
So awards season has come and gone for another year, culminating in Adele winning at Oscar. (I am biased, but those lights tho?) And Jennifer Lawrence winning whatever Adele left over, between doing what I guarantee we would all do if our name was calle»
When the first Tramlines festival was held in 2009, I didn’t go. I was on holiday in Europe, desperately trying to find ATMs that still had cash in them. You see, this was at the start of the biggest worldwide financial crisis since the Great Depression, and the banks had run out of money. Now when I think about that, and think about the fact that back home, Sheffield’s music community had decided to organise a giant free music festival on the eve of the biggest age of austerity any of us have ever experienced, it’s tempting to ask whether they might have timed it better.»
Savage Pixels sits down with BioShock's creator Ken Levine to discuss the original game and the newly released BioShock Infinite...»
Hello and thanks for tuning in to another dazzling edition of the Drowned In Sound singles column. We've got synth-pop a plenty from Cold Cave and Big Black Delta, sombre indie from Cat Power and Woman's Hour, plus a new Deerhunter song that's appropriately shambolic. Please, dig in...»
