Interview: Catching Up with Alex Calder.
…proclaims midway through one of umpteen unending email correspondences. It’s Lane who functions as his sentient alarm clock, or so I’ve been duly informed by the miracle workers and alternative pop seekers at the label and this afternoon, he’s up and at it alright. Girl done good! Though so long and winding has the road been up until this point for the pair of us – convoluted as this prolix introduction, I guess – that I almost…So on & so forth…
Interview: Chewing the Gristle with Xiu Xiu.
…keep at it or something. And Stewart’s discographic union as it were with Simon Raymonde’s Bella Union outfit itself makes for an irrefutably intriguing pairing. Of course for Xiu Xiu to find a home on any which label would be an improbable ask, given the incongruity not only of his records with regard to those of his every contemporary recording artist, but so too with reference to his each and every individual, and indeed overtly…So on & so forth…
Interview: Un tchat avec Yann Tiersen.
At the heart of a lunchtime huddle in a West London watering hole is Yann Tiersen. Starting this afternoon where he abandoned the previous soir, one spent “drinking a few beers”, he’s dragged from an impassioned discussion on the merits of Jean Michel Jarre to step outside to shiver and smoke his way through this interview, ale in hand. The very first concert I ever attended at the tender age of three happened to be one of Jarr…So on & so forth…
Interview: Travelling to Liliputt via The Lexington, Beth Jeans Houghton.
…eth Jeans Houghton as we’ve been a band for four years, and basically it’s not fair. And it stifles any plans of going solo.” The magical showing in a typically sweltering Lexington that follows our roadside interview illustrates just how intricately interwoven this band have become musically, and ought to shelve such desires for the foreseeable. “It’s lazy journalism. I am a girl. Babe”, this final word delive…So on & so forth…
Interview: Movin’ On Up, Toro Y Moi.
…funk-ridden wave Bundick is known to ride – although he says he’s “expecting it.” He’s well versed in it, even and consequently, “it’s not, like, a burden to talk about – it’s just a label which is, or was, used to describe something so it’s totally useful. It’s just that every once in a while a label comes along which sounds really silly. It’s kinda weird, but when I first heard the te…So on & so forth…

…s should be. It’s just like that, and so in some respects it’s very much built like a business.” To stick with this more vocational filament of thought, the band are currently signed to Secretly Canadian – a label to have centralised its attentions upon the envelope-pushing, off-kilt pioneering of the mid-2000s zeitgeist which was, in itself, inspired in no small part by the rich output of their homeland. Intriguingly though per…So on & so forth…
Interview: Howling at the Moon with Patrick Wolf.
Patrick Wolf has never been one for convention. Three minutes before a scheduled interview time, he’s still on the motorway skirting around the sprawling Bristol outskirts. When his blacked-out, ramshackle vehicle finally arrives, he tumbles out and shoots off, later revealing he needed to purchase a guitar for the show. Extravagant? Perhaps. Diva-esque? Certainly. But as he talks of split personas, “the best sex ever” and Little Boots, holding…So on & so forth…
