Dry Cleaning - Stumpwork

Thursday, September 8th 2022

.....just read the review

Goo Goo Dolls - Chaos in Bloom

Tuesday, August 30th 2022

A great album from start to finish – every song on it could justifiably argue a case for inclusion on a GGD 'Best Of'' compilation

RAD PITT – PITT HAPPENS

Thursday, August 18th 2022

THOUGHTCRIMES – ALTERED PASTS

Thursday, August 18th 2022

Pale Waves: Unwanted

Sunday, August 7th 2022

Black Midi- Hellfire

Wednesday, July 27th 2022

MOOR MOTHER – JAZZ CODES

Wednesday, July 27th 2022

This is an intriguing, exciting album. Challenging in places, it is less confrontational, less jarring, less experimental noise than earlier material such as debut LP Fetish Bones.

Eliza Delf - Into The Wilderness

Tuesday, July 19th 2022

Norfolk Singer-Songwriter releases her stunning debut album Into The Wilderness

MARC VALENTINE – FUTURE OBSCURE

Saturday, July 9th 2022

Look, I know I am biased but this album is an instant classic. Buy it. Better yet, go see Marc and band, supported by the very marvellous Carol Hodge, at Voodoo Daddy’s on 16th July then buy it. You will not be disappointed.

The Kooks – Echo in the Dark

Wednesday, June 22nd 2022

Beabadoobee - 'Beatopia'

Friday, June 17th 2022

Destined to be one of the standout albums of 2022, make sure you catch Beabadoobee at Reading and Leeds Festival this summer, or at the Nick Rayns LCR here in Norwich on October 8th. This is going to be the year of Beatopia.

MILLIE MANDERS AND THE SHUTUP – SWEET MELODY

Friday, June 17th 2022

Liam Gallagher - Down By The River Thames

Wednesday, June 15th 2022

Just Mustard - Heart Under

Monday, May 30th 2022

Although the intention of the album was to feel the experience of driving through a tunnel, Heart Under takes you to so many other places (some of which you’d rather keep locked away). It’s a terrific second album.

PETROL GIRLS - BABY

Friday, May 27th 2022

Liam Gallagher - C'mon You Know

Wednesday, May 25th 2022

C’mon You Know is Gallagher's best album thus far

Peach Pit - From 2 to 3

Wednesday, May 18th 2022

By the end of my first listen to ‘From 2 to 3’, it became clear that the band have crafted a soundscape that is uniquely theirs.

Florence + The Machine- Dance Fever

Saturday, May 14th 2022

I implore you to explore this album for yourself and become immersed in this new fairytale world Welch has created with this Dance Fever character. I for one don’t see myself leaving it anytime soon.

PEANESS – WORLD FULL OF WORRY

Friday, May 13th 2022

On this album, Peaness don’t do many thing particularly new but by heck they do it well and the songwriting is of an exceptional standard.

Sharon Van Etten - We've Been Going About This All Wrong

Wednesday, May 11th 2022

The singer-songwriter’s sixth album is an immersive collection of songs, wrestling with trauma both collective and personal in an increasingly destabilising world and will be the greatest record you’ll hear this year.

Tess Parks - And Those Who Were Seen Dancing

Friday, May 6th 2022

The album closes with a piano and the sound of rain in 'Saint Michael'. Retrospective and atmospheric rather than apostolic in its tone,

EAT YOUR OWN HEAD – NECK-DEEP IN THE BLYTH

Thursday, May 5th 2022

These guys can play – hell, these guys can play – but, like the very best math-rock, prog and jazz, technique never takes precedence over the song.

Loose Fit - Social Graces

Wednesday, May 4th 2022

From start to finish this is an absolute peach of an album, a juicy slice of post-punk, pop perfection.

Sta Prest - Shadow Boy

Wednesday, April 27th 2022

Susanna - Elevation

Sunday, April 24th 2022

If you are not already familiar with the work of Susanna Wallumrød (or, come to that, Charles Baudelaire) I would implore you to give 'Elevation' a listen. It is most certainly an album that is all that I cannot leave behind.

C Duncan - Alluvium

Monday, April 11th 2022

Alluvium's sense of fluidity and pace continues in the cinematic harpsichord-led title track, whilst 'Earth' creates a distinctly retro revisitation of Colin Blunstone on a 1970's Alan Parsons concept album

Wallows - Tell Me That It’s Over

Saturday, April 9th 2022

Wet Leg - Wet Leg

Friday, April 8th 2022

The day is finally here…Isle of Wight’s most of exciting new band have delivered an album that does not fall short of expectations.

ROMERO – TURN IT ON!

Thursday, April 7th 2022

CROWS – BEWARE BELIEVERS

Wednesday, April 6th 2022

Another cracking album and I can’t wait to see ‘em blast it out live.

Ho99o9 - Skin

Thursday, March 31st 2022

Nilufer Yanya - Painless

Monday, March 28th 2022

Placebo – Never Let Me Go

Monday, March 21st 2022

Finn Doherty - You're Still in My Dreams

Friday, March 18th 2022

Zakoor - Life Cycle

Wednesday, March 16th 2022

The Ninth Wave - Heavy Like A Headache

Monday, March 14th 2022

WIDOWSPEAK – THE JACKET

Thursday, March 10th 2022

Samana - All One Breath

Friday, February 25th 2022

it is almost as though the listener has been taken on their own enlightening journey of discovery as well.

OH HIROSHIMA – MYRIAD

Thursday, February 24th 2022

....have created a sound that is wholly their own and it is IMMENSE.

Stereophonics - Oochya!
