More ‘Western’ than her first album ‘Alive’. Nothing wrong with that, although not all the tracks do it for me.
Check out the Paul Oakenfold remix on her website.

Maia, backing singer from Hello Saferide, has a sweet 4 track E.P. out right now.
Acoustic and calmer than her previous outing.

I have been chilling out to Emily Jane Whites second album for the last few days.
Some quite dark themes running through it but delicious.

Amys’ second album is out today, and it rocks.
Look out for the deluxe version with a full live CD.

The video for Goldfrapps first single off of the up and coming album is finally out.
Very catchy, if a bit pop.

Her best album yet.
Delicious.
I couldn’t find any videos from The Quickening, so here is a track from her previous album.

I have always liked the dark edge that Hanne has had.
And no change on her latest album.

Just recieved a little package of disks that I am slowly going through. (Thanks R).
This is one of them.
Some lovely vocals and songwriting from Allie, who has been touring and playing with Ingrid Michaelson.

A quite little album with a soft country/folk/blues edge to it.
Nice and relaxing.

A friend played me this E.P. today, the first I have heard of sisters Charley and Hattie.
I really liked the first two tracks, but the next three fell short for me.
A pair to keep your eyes on though.
