La Roux: Supervision – Album Review
Grammy-winning, BRIT and Mercury-Prize-nominated artist La Roux (Elly Jackson) has brought us a brand new album with Supervision, her first since 2014’s Trouble In Paradise.

Jeads: Under the Veneer – Review
Ambient electronic artist Jeads creates a complex, wintery soundscape with an intriguingly layered outlook on new record Under the Veneer. The way Jeads throws himself into his music is both commendable and imposing. As seen on previous record Nocturnal Signal, the artist bases his music around personally collected samples which he then builds soundscapes around to unfold … [Read more...] about Jeads: Under the Veneer – Review
