Interview: Ambling the Overgrown Path, Chris Cohen.

…o be yet another trivialisation of greatness manifested in his live unspectacular: his is all about the music, man, and when the music consistently hits such nonpareil psych heights, the result is a direct and concise smash to the lobes. His is that most special of reserves which is portrayed according to an utmost restrai…So on & so forth…

Interview: Stick Up For Yourself, Son. Yeasayer.

…under fumbled exhalations, and Tuton’s drawn-out crackle chases its own tail off into the dim wildernesses of silence. It’s a stark punctuation mark in our conversation. No more lyrical focus; let’s face the music. That’s what I’d hankered so long for in the buildup to the release of Fragrant World, harassing fellow acolytes across the planes of social media and so forth. And the record thereby served as a punctuatio…So on & so forth…

Q&A: The Intricate Specifics of Antoni Maiovvi.

…/ noise rock nut Anton Maiof. Here’s some inquisitive stuff fired off in his general direction… Dots: The ATP brand certainly seems to hold not only an impactive but also quite influential sway on much independent music. Do you feel as though you’ve acquired much advantage through your now-inherent affiliation with the festival? Antoni Maiovvi: So far, not really: I’ve had some contact from some people in the ‘higher…So on & so forth…

…ooking lines, or gesture of a nearby baby smearing exorbitant pastries across still setting features, though he snaps into concerted attention as and whenever required of him. It’s a directness reflected not only in the music itself, but so too in the band’s rapid ascent to a wider prominence – each of the three shows aforesaid sold out long ago, while their début full-length Light Up Gold is to be afforded an international release in…So on & so forth…

I think it can be more potent and with it interesting to use a familiar world (here being pop…So on & so forth…

Interview: Warming Up, Frida Sundemo.

…ho is Frida Sundemo – the self-styled po-mo pop star: ‘Frida Sundemo is not from outer space. Didn’t have a broken childhood. Has not wasted all her savings on drugs’, it reads. It affords her, or rather her music the opportunity to lucidly speak for itself, though how would she be best introduced to the heathens? “I think I’d like to keep an air of mystery about me, and I wouldn’t choose to give too much away….So on & so forth…

Interview: Crackle & Spit, Ludovico Einaudi.

I sit shaking on the end of the phone, belated springtime rays trickling in through the tentatively agape window beside me. A couple repetitions of a particularly enervating dial tone refrain later, and I’m talking to the one and only maestro of contemporary classical, Ludovico Einaudi. If he and his highly idiosyncratic music had compelled me to quiver two evenings previous, then I’m rubbing if not my eyes then my ears in disbelief…So on & so forth…

Interview: Movin’ On Up, Toro Y Moi.

…n a gently self-effacing tone. The sun then recedes behind the horizon, a toy-like London reduced to nothing but a nitty mesh of teeny silhouettes. It’s this sort of tranquil, and irrefutably sightly vista for which his music was made. Though today’s latest does nothing to dispel Bundick’s fervid zeal for shifting the genres he employs, and more often than not engineers, in order to shape his sound. His every work has a distinct…So on & so forth…

…nto tourbus window: “The people there have pretty wide ears. Or broad ears? Broad. How’s that?” Perfect. Or preferable, if you happen to be one such broad-eared individual. But for such an esoteric strand of music, I don’t doubt it being right up there in Stewart’s interests to seek out likeminded types who get what he’s up to, so to speak. A tricky task, if ever there were: “Based on the decreasing numbe…So on & so forth…

Dashes: Do you feel that the records you’ve fallen in love with have inspired the music you create today as well as that previously conjured up as one half of The Knife? KDA: I don’t really know but I think Cyndi Lauper was certainly a very positive artist for a young girl. She expressed herself in an ext…So on & so forth…
