Chronicles: Honey Cocaine – 90’s Gold

We love to blame music platforms for enthusing a dangerously fast-spinning carousel of hype and short-lived careers by the use of the cyberspace and its social networks. One thing we shouldn’t forget is that we’re part of a special era as the music industry is changing right in front of our eyes. We live in […]

Recommended: Shawn O’Sullivan – Free Flight

If the necessity of record shops is lost on you, then let this be testament to why they are still around in 2012. Thanks to some digging and a strange watercolour pelican on the label we discovered Shawn O’Sullivan’s “Free Flight” on W.T. Records. It was released in January and just reached our ears this […]

We wish it was possible to package up whatever it is about California that’s been steady bringing out some of our favourite American music as of late.
