Spun Brit Murphy

Jonas Akerlund - Spun

Review by Sara Lovejoy

Spun is fast. Spun is unrelenting. Spun is dirty. In both good and bad ways. Spun spins you side ways until you fall on your bum and you no longer know your arse from your elbow.

Review by Sara Lovejoy

Imagine, if you will, a Grimm Fairy tale version of Red Riding Hood, living in the now, slightly dark and mysterious, playing her guitar in a New York bar and keeping a sultry vigil while the hungry wolf bays at the door.
Picture this and you may have an idea of the sad tinged echoes of Miss Nina Nastas»

Magnet On Your Side

Magnet - On Your Side

Review by Sara Lovejoy

‘You said you’d die for me, so why can’t you live for me’ Gently guiding us in with a melancholic guitar and a voice that could out-husk the bark of the sturdiest Chestnut Tree, 'On Your Side' - the debut album from Magnet (aka Even Johansen) - starts as it means to go on; with gorgeously-cr»

Fountains Of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers

Review by Sara Lovejoy

The Fountains of Wayne return to the sunny side of the moon this year, with an album filled to the brim with their trade mark quirky sadness. I first fell in love with FOW when I heard 'Sink To The Bottom' many years ago, and I couldn’t get the song, with all its kooky energy, out of my head f»

The Lovely Bones

Alice Sebold - The Lovely Bones

Review by Sara Lovejoy

‘My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.’ For months I’ve been picking up the same old same old books about disastrous love lives; vacant women trying to be aloof; chicks who make like Bridget Jones on speed, with a job in the medi»

Review by Sara Lovejoy

Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia.. are like the morning after an abortion, or the minutes before a one night stand - your make-up smudged, tights laddered.

Ed Harcourt

Ed Harcourt - All Your Days Are Blessed

Review by Sara Lovejoy

Dear Ed,
I like your new single.
But something is not quite right. 'All your days…' is a good song, full of your mandatory chipper, rolling, quirkiness. It's cute. But I've heard it before. Nothing here is very different from the songs on your last one ('Here Be Monsters'). There's»

Cat Power You Are Free

Cat Power - You Are Free

Review by Sara Lovejoy

Up and down the tempo goes, from unplugged to plugged in, this record gives off the feeling that it's being performed by one of your friends in the corner of your living room.
