First published in 1960, To Kill a Mockingbird was an immediate success and has sealed its immortality by arguably being one of the greatest American novels ever written. But the most impacting element of this […]

Tame Impala – fronted by multi-instrumentalist powerhouse Kevin Parker, a modern psych-rock prophet who, rather astoundingly, writes and records the vast majority of Tame Impala’s music himself – return with their […]

Title: Crescendo

Author: Becca Fitzpatrick

What I Think So Far: As the second book in the Hush, Hush series, Crescendo is much more emotionally focused than its predecessor; some chapters even left a lump in […]

I’m thinking of Sir John Everett Millais’ painting of Ophelia, from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, as I listen to Myriads by Glaswegian singer-songwriter, Officer. I’m not sure whether it’s the album artwork, references to […]

Favela is a 22 year old Leeds-based producer and released his EP Future Visions on Soundcloud about two months ago. With no prior listening to his music, one might infer, from the names, an electronic-based, […]

‘Other Lives.’
