White Lies ‘To Lose My Life’

White Lies are usually portrayed as the earnest young men carrying the torch of Joy Division and the doom merchants that followed. I don’t get that. I think it’s just pomp rock on a shoestring budget.

Antony & The Johnsons ‘The Crying Light’

Fans of Antony’s voice are in for a treat on this quiet and intimate collection of new songs. Think Viennese cafe house orchestra and the odd powerful piano ballad and you get the picture.

Tom Jones ‘24 Hours’

The Old Believers ‘Eight Golden Greats’

Giant Sand ‘Provisions’

They are Alternative Rock’s favourite desert outlaws. Few play rock with a widescreen Western flavour with more credibility or style. This is music for endless cups of coffee at a late night diner.
