Out This Week

Yep, it's pissing it down again, but that didn't stop another batch of records making it to the shelves. So which of this week's deluge had us singing in the rain and which had us running for cover...

Voxtrot 'Blood Red Blood' (Playlouder)
Can you really get away with indie guitars and sweeping orchestration in this day and age? Mais oui! Just ask these fellas. You can expect to feel you've been on a rather beauteous journey after listening to Voxtrot's new single. These Texan whippersnappers really throw everything in here, and that's a good thing. Squeaky sax, lush strings, appealingly shaky vocals from Ramesh Srivastava and a healthy dollop of euphoria make up this joyous indie nugget which grows in pace and energy without being maddening.




Mutya 'Real Girl'
Former Sugababe delivers a musical two-fingered salute.
The Cribs 'Men's Needs'
The video to this song was so raunchy it got banned.
Biffy Clyro 'Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies'
The Scottish rockers have gone all Flash Gordon on us.
Remi Nicole 'Fed Up' / 'Go With The Flow'
Where does she come on a scale of Kate Nash to Lily Allen?
Maroon 5 'Makes Me Wonder'
Sunny Californian pop-funk with added frug agogo...
The Stills 'Destroyer'
It's actually much better than its ominous title suggests.
Wiley '50/50' / Bow E3'
The East London grime merchant makes us want to lie down, in a good way.
The Mitchell Brothers 'Sole Mate'
Mike Skinner's pals have fallen in love with, err, their daps.
Adjagas 'Lihkolas'
They may be 'yoik', but these Norwegians still make beautiful music...
