The Week In Music - 6th February 2009
White Lies get the public vote on tuneraker this week. We panned their debut ‘To Lose My Life’ but these lads are popular, no doubt. Lily Allen’s new album is more fun, but it has its flaws.

If you are looking for something upbeat to drive out those January blues, then there are two albums you should consider. Animal Collective and Franz Ferdinand are both consistently ‘up’.

There’s a couple of good songs around this week. Looks like individual downloads are in order. Antony & The Johnsons’s new album is interesting but you may not warm to all of it at first listen.

The Killers win hands down with ‘Day & Age’, a camp but fun party record. Coldplay come second because of one song. Kanye West and Guns n’ Roses rely too much on the effects department.

The best album I’ve listened to this week is ‘Hurricane’ by Grace Jones. It’s in the shops on Monday. Snow Patrol and The Cure are a bit so-so. Micah P. Hinson played a storming gig on Thursday.

Gang Gang Dance are cooler than a cool thing. Well, it’s the only album that put a smile on my face this week. The Sea And Cake make a decent effort, but Kaiser Chiefs and Mercury Rev disappoint.

Yo Majesty have delivered the most striking album this week with ‘Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid’. Hold on tight for a fast paced Electro Rap romp.
