Glen Campbell - Meet Glen Campbell
Tuesday 14 February 2012
Het is misschien raar om één van de laatste albums die je uitbrengt Meet Glen Campbell te noemen, maar in zeker opzicht is dit album als een introductie voor een jongere doelgroep te beschouwen. Vandaar de covers van Foo Fighters, Travis en U2.

Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Friday 17 June 2011
One of 2011’s most absorbing, affecting and downright brilliant LPs.
Whatever maudlin magic musician Justin Vernon found in the remoteness of rural Wisconsin come the close of 2006 and the dawn of 2007 – made devastatingly real on his debut LP as Bon Iver, For Emma, Forever Ago – it’s something that many another artist has been trying to conjure since. Dispatch a band into isolation today, to cajole those creative juices, and inevitably some plucky press type will label them as "doing a Bon Iver". The album’s impact on today’s indie-folk scene, and beyond, was powerful, and global commercial success was the unlikely culmination of Vernon’s catharsis following the break-up of both his previous band and a relationship.

Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Thursday 16 June 2011
Het gelijknamige album van Bon Iver is de opvolger van het debuut van de band. Wie Calgary, de eerste single van de plaat, hoort, weet direct: dit album zou in geen enkele platenkast mogen ontbreken.

Tweak Bird - Tweak Bird
Tuesday 17 August 2010
Leaves you mentally exhausted yet unable to wipe a goonish grin from your face.
One of massive marijuana intake’s side effects – short-term memory loss – has helped ensure that stoner rock has latterly come to resemble something of a played-out genre, outside a few notable exceptions not rehashing past glories. Nobody told perma-touring Illinois brothers Tweak Bird, though, whose self-titled debut full-length sticks hipster spectacles on the whole decibel-kissed shebang and takes it for a serotonin-stimulating joyride.
