    [MUSIC: Album Reviews] Winter People – Gallons EP

    Winter People have a real understanding of subtlety. Instead of floating around nondescript soundscapes with lack of definition, or creating hyper-bland folk accentuated by ‘alternative’ instruments, they deliver music that is tense and fulfilling, with its more overt messages veiled in well-developed metaphor and musical somethings.

    [MUSIC: Album Reviews] Damon Albarn – Dr Dee

    DAMON ALBARN Dr Dee EMI Last year, Damon Albarn collaborated on the production of Dr Dee, a stately opera about an atypical Renaissance man named John Dee. In addition to being Queen Elizabeth’s learned scientific advisor, Dee was well into the occult and spent many years certain that he was communing with angels. He even [...]
