As current trends in electronic music become harder and harder to pin down, it feels as though the indie music scene is attempting to follow suit, leading to a sudden increase in the number of...

 Album
You like walking in bad weather? 'Stay In The Home You Love' is a great accompaniment for that. You get soaked, you get cold, then you get really pissed off at God or Probability or whatever...

 Album
It can sometimes be quite difficult to instantly connect with an artist or piece of music, probably due the sheer volume of music I listen to on a daily basis. Sometimes I hear a band once and it...
