CD reviews
-
Graham Coxon, A+E (EMI) ****
THANKFULLY, it doesn’t signal a renewal of the hostilities which made the Blur v Oasis circus so tiresome 17 years ago, but the solo work of the driving forces behind those two warring bands still illustrates how they occupied markedly different territories. read more

Ian Anderson, Thick As A Brick 2 (Chrysalis) ****
TO MARK the 40th anniversary of Aqualung, Jethro Tull released a lavish remix. But to honour four decades of Thick As A Brick, frontman Ian Anderson has gone one better with a sequel. read more
-
Simone Felice, Simone Felice (Reveal Records) ****
IT can be hard keeping up with Simone Felice. First he was the drummer and sometime singer in The Felice Brothers. read more

Lightships, Electric Cables (Domino) ***
A HAZY, often lovely record from the good eggs at Domino. Gerard Love is the bass player and one of the key songwriters for cult band Teenage Fanclub. read more

Counting Crows, Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did On Our Summer Vacation) (Cooking Vinyl) ***

Lostprophets, Weapons (Epic) HHH
WELSH sextet Lostprophets have had a bang on the head and regained consciousness as Green Day. Always flirting round the mainstream, their fifth studio album continues the crowd-pleasing, rock-by-numbers approach that has worked for so many of their American contemporaries. read more

Ellen And The Escapades, All The Crooked Scenes (Branch Out Records) ****; The Dunwells, Blind Sighted Faith (Playing In Traffic) ***
LEEDS five-piece Ellen And The Escapades mix folk, pop and catchy rhythms. All The Crooked Scenes is a great ride, with Ellen Smith’s throaty vocals blending perfectly with slower numbers, as in opener Run, or faster, fun tracks such as Without You, reminiscent of a folky Can’t Stand Me Now by The Libertines. read more
-
Alabama Shakes, Boys & Girls (Rough Trade) ****
AH, for once the grapevine speaks true. A flurry of hype as preceded the release of this album from a band so fresh they have only just given up the day jobs. read more
