A Scholar & A Physician – She’s A Witch

April 13, 2009 Reviews, Single No Comments
A Scholar & A Physician

A Scholar & A Physician

Coming on like a combination of Young Knives and Klaxons, A Scholar & A Physician’s title track is a high octane love ode to the Wicked Witch of The West it seems, with tongues firmly planted in electro-boy cheeks of course. A great single to usher in British Summer Time with from the Abingdon/London duo, who are also the production team behind a lot of the upcoming Chicks On Speed album.

Track two, ‘Not Normal’, is a shouty wee number that owes a little to Faith No More’s ‘Be Aggressive’ in the chorus department. The third track, ‘Shouldn’t Dwell’, nods meaningfully towards Air circa 10′000Hz Legend with its blissed out relaxed vocals over an increasingly strident backing track.

On the strength of these tunes I’d say they’re a good bet for meteoric rise over the summer months but have my doubts about future sustainability. Junior/Senior spring to mind in that respect.

Capsula – Rising Mountains

Other than selected single tracks here and there from long-dead sixties bands I don’t reckon I’ve heard much by Argentinian rock groups.

Glasgow has needed a festival like this for ages.

Sonic Youth – The Eternal

May 31, 2009

If anything, new album The Eternal is even more direct and straight-rocking than its predecessor: it’s what 1992’s Dirty might have sounded like without Butch Vig’s polished production.

Deerhunter – Rainwater Cassette Exchange EP

May 31, 2009

Varied, but not disjointed. Concise, but not half-formed.
