Stick it on my Swede

February 18, 2010 New Music

A bit of swedish pop infused disco to brighten a cold February evening.  I’ve got to say I’m enjoying a lot of stuff coming out of Sweden at the moment and this track from Lo-Fi-Fnk has a great little groove to it, even if the lyrics are a tad rudimentary.  The track bounces along and [...]

Debruit – Spatio Temporel EP (Civil Music)

February 18, 2010 New Music

Live Review: Wave Machines @ Festevol – O2 Academy, Liverpool

September 28, 2009 Live Reviews

On the surface Wave Machines would appear to be a band that like to have fun with their music and don’t take themselves too seriously; rocking pastel coloured shirts and dorky(cool) schoolteacher style tweed suits, not to mention their captivating face masks carrying portrait images of their own physiognomy.
