Tuesday, 23 February 2010. New Releases 22 February 2010. This week's new album releases, including Marina and the Diamonds. And Toro Y Moi. Marina the Diamonds – Family Jewels. A fairly typical example of the hype-meets-fame-meets-success paradigm instigated by the BBC. 8217;s Sound Of poll, Marina Diamandis. Is allowed to create perfectly legitimate, enterprising pop songs. However, when it’s not so well – as on ‘Girls’, which sounds like La Roux.

Wednesday, 9 March 2011. Album Review: Bardo Pond - Bardo Pond. Bardo Pond: Transcending boundaries of meter and time. Noise-rock nearly men (and woman) return with first ear-splitting record for four years.
