Reviews
Icarus Line
Liars
Dead Confederate
This Immortal Coil
Unfocused-sounding fourth album from Californian experimentalist outfit, the Icarus Line
Absurd, but also approachable fifth album from New York avant-garde trio, Liars
Disorienting, but ultimately addictive combination of psychedelia, Americana and grunge on first-rate debut album from Athens, Georgia-based band, Dead Confederate
Brilliantly versatile tribute album to British-based avant garde and experimental group, Coil
Kick to Kill
Blindfold
Nightjars
Terrible Lizard
Superficial and overtly morbid latest single from Glawsow-based pseudo-gothic outfit, Kick to Kill
Euphoric and frequently compelling second album from Icelandic ambient post-rock act, Blindfold
Unimaginative and almost totally derivative debut album from Mancurian indie rock five-piece, the Nightjars
Completly unsubtle what-you-see what you-get rock from Chicago-based band Terrible Lizard, which yet proves to be not totally without appeal
Black Lips
Wildly uneven fifth album from Atlanta, Georgia punks Black Lips which has them abandoning the manic psychosis of their previous releases and thrilling, intriguing and above all confusing their audience
