Gig review: Caribou & Four Tet, Metro Theatre, 17/2/2011

Posted on February 18, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

There was something so right about the combination of Caribou and Four Tet on one lineup. Despite creating distinctly different soundscapes, their names have become synonymous with the electronic elite, and thus the sold out crowd who came to witness … Continue reading →

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

It’s all about family and fans when Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet puts down the baby and gets on the phone. I’m talking to Kieran Hebden (also known as Four Tet) from London, and it’s a little difficult to understand what … Continue reading →

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

New York you saucy minx, you really know how to breed your bands, don’t you? If it wasn’t enough to have Brooklyn melancholic indie peddlers The Antlers on the lineup, you gave us your psych dance trio Bear In Heaven … Continue reading →

Record review: Bright Eyes, The People’s Key

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

It’s become a Bright Eyes tradition to start their records with a sound collage; Cassadaga opens with a woman speaking of the occult, Fevers and Mirrors opens with a little boy reading, and this record begins with Denny Brewer, a … Continue reading →

Gig review: Foals, Enmore Theatre, 9/2/2011

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

Last year Foals played to a sold out Manning Bar crowd, six months later they’ve managed to pack out a venue twice the size with no new music to their name. They are the band whose reputation exceeds them, especially … Continue reading →

Gig review: Warpaint, Oxford Art Factory, 8/2/2011

Posted on February 14, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

It’s rare that a support band is perfectly suited to the night in question yet not a carbon copy of the headliner. Richard In Your Mind were a joy to watch live, with upbeat beachy, summer tunes that had party … Continue reading →

Gig review: Menomena, Factory Theatre, 7/2/2011

Posted on February 8, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

I’m going to be honest with you, there was a lot of man love in the room for Menomena. I’m talking the sort of dude on dude excitement that is as embarrassing as it is endearing. Not to suggest that … Continue reading →

Record review: Ghoul, Dunks

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

I dragged about seven of my friends to see Ghoul at Spectrum in 2009, when they were still playing tunes off of A Mouthful of Gold. None of my friends had heard them before, but by the end of their … Continue reading →

Interview: Bear In Heaven & The Antlers

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

I had the pleasure of interviewing Adam Wills of Bear In Heaven and The Antlers‘ Peter Silberman in a delightful (if not at first confunding) conference call just before Christmas. The feature article has since been published, but here is … Continue reading →

Gig review: Primal Scream, Selina’s Coogee Bay Hotel, 29/1/11

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Sevana Ohandjanian

Screamadelica being performed in full is many a Primal Scream fans dream. It had the potential to be a hackneyed affair, but the luck lies in the uplifting 1991 album, still a completely unique record brimming with good vibes. From … Continue reading →
