Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters', is the Twilight Sad's debut album - an LP that more than lives up to the early promise of their critically acclaimed US-only 2006 EP. Epic in scope and equally as intense, the band are inspired by a diverse range of music from Van Dyke Parks to Phil Spector, Daniel Johnston, and beyond, although the band are as influenced by their immediate geography ('the sticks just outside Glasgow'), as they are any particular musical reference points. Recorded at Chem 19 and Ca Va studios, Glasgow, and mixed and produced by the band and Peter Katis (Interpol, Mercury Rev, Mice Parade) in Tarquin Studios, Connecticut, 'Fourteen Autumns...' is nevertheless liable to evoke a more familiar indie canon, from white-noise era Creation Records, to fellow Scots Arab Strap or Mogwai.

Tal National's dazzling follow-up album, ‘Zoy Zoy’ is a distillation of their traditional roots and tireless drive into pure joy and celebration. The songs are intense yet sophisticated, combining original numbers with new arrangements of West African folk songs. The band speaks French, but use the American expression "very rock and roll" quite seriously, implying their awareness that the loud guitars and bewildering rhythmic complexity separate them from their West African peers. Using as a backbone the sound that Tal National breathe - sheer electricity and stunning virtuosity weaving a web of melody and rhythm, the flesh of the album is a response to Tal National's growing stature at home in Niger and their exposure to audiences in other parts of the world.

Katie Gately has crafted a set of brilliantly intricate & ambitious sound pieces that exist in a borderzone between electro-acoustic composition, field recording & deconstructed pop bringing to mind the widescreen scope of Scott Walker or Julia Holter & the precise playful abstraction of Matmos & Holly Herndon. Messy, maximalist & psychedelic, Tlaotlon proffers a kind of squelchy, hyper-colorful, dislocated modern electronica that might find roots in older models like Phthalocyanine or Autechre but sharing commonalities with current producers like Pattern, Sculpture, Dalglish, Astral Social Club.
