Oh No Ono is a quintet from Aalborg, Denmark. The band, which was formed in 2003, release their new record, Eggs, early next year on Leaf and Friendly Fire Recordings.
White Noise / Love Without Sound A bizarre pop song. It seems to have been created in a time vacuum in a place that’s never existed. I can’t even begin to think of how extremely hard and time-consuming it must have been making music like this in the 60s. The amazing thing is how delicate and sensitive this actually sounds.
The fifth solo album of Malcolm Middleton (ex-Arab Strap), Waxing Gibbous, is the next defining statement in his journey, adorned with his usual blend of darkness and irony, humour and intimacy. The new opus is composed from years worth of scribbles in notebooks, which were ‘chiseled and connived into being songs’.
The Auteurs / Lenny Valentino I must have missed this band the first time around, but since reading Luke Haines’ autobiography, I am hooked. Anyone who can write about their own life and come across so badly gets the ‘thumbs up’ from me!
