Album Review: Lo Moon – Lo Moon

by Chloë Edwards

At a time where alternative and indie acts are in abundance, Los Angeles trio Lo Moon are one who attempt to stand out from the others with their dreamy, cinematic 80s pop vibes. Blending the artistry of a variety of influential predecessors and at times America’s answer to the likes of Oh Wonder and London Grammar […]

Album Review: Rhye – Blood

by Emily Pirie

They are back with a sensual, silky and sexy bang. It has been five years since the Canadian R&B duo graced our ears with their 2013 album, Woman; five years of pining for the dulcet and smooth tones of Michael Molish that has taken us on a wistful journey of elegant harmonies and rhythmic beats […]

Exeposé Music’s Best Albums of 2017: #10-1

by Music

10. Loyle Carner      Yesterday’s Gone “You’ve got to go for being sexist. You’ve got to go,” Loyle Carner said, as he kicked out a fan from his recent Norwich gig, “I’m sorry man, you’ve got to learn a lesson, my young man. Sorry.” His tour, (which included Exeter’s Phoenix), carried the same name as his […]

The 2017 Mercury Prize Result Response

by Tom Murphy

Following last year and the shock of Skepta’s beating Bowie, grabbing grime’s second Mercury and shaking the British music scene, this years award appeared anyone’s for the taking. Kate Tempest’s genre bending Let Them Eat Chaos was packed with sharp bars and social commentary. Indie behemoths and previous winners alt-J and The xx seemed poised […]

Oh Britannia…: Is British Music Still Cool?

by Chloë Edwards

Two decades ago, the end of year album charts for 1997 painted a clear picture of the British music scene at the height of its Britpop era. The top ten alone included Oasis’s third album Be Here Now, after the success of its 1994 and 1995 predecessors, plus magnum opus Urban Hymns from The Verve, […]

Album Review: The xx – I See You

by Chloë Edwards

Few chart-topping groups today are fronted by a duo of male and female vocals. Even fewer of these duos and fellow band members, I suspect, have been close friends since secondary school – and beyond. And yet this seems to be an appropriate history for a group as intimate as The xx, who this week […]

Liked That? Try This: The xx – I See You

by Music

Liked That? Try This is a fortnightly column: I pick a trending album and recommend three others based on their shared musical ideas, aesthetics or approaches. This week’s album choice is The xx’s ‘I See You’, released on 13th January and perhaps the first major release event of 2017. Marking a shift toward the pulsing […]

What to listen to when… You’re hungover

by Helen Payne

We’ve all been there: you slowly enter consciousness after a heavy night out, little by little remembering exactly what happened to get you in this state. You open your eyes, tucked safely in bed sheets that smell slightly of stale vodka. It makes you gag. The room is a blur and the ceiling won’t stop […]
