LCD Soundsystem tour in May
After months in the studio working on a new record as well as releases on his label DFA, LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy will be back on the road in May. Although just one date in Bristol on 2nd May has been announced so far, this is likely to form part of a more extensive UK tour.
In a recent interview with NME, Murphy has suggested that LCD Soundsystem’s forthcoming album will be his last under this moniker.
Crossfire favourites Manchester Orchestra have spawned a new musical permutation in the form of guitarist Robert McDowell’s Gobotron.
His debut album On Your Mark, Get Set… will be released digitally on Favorite Gentlemen Recordings on 19th January.
The album began as somewhat of a secret during time off from Robert’s dayjob of Manchester Orchestra. He started playing around with a few ideas on his own, influenced by acts from the Beach Boys through to Ben Kweller, and didn’t really divulge information of what he was doing until it was actually done.

Dessa
It’s easy to get carried away when you finally get to hear an album you’ve been waiting on for literally years. You build up the hype in your head for so long that invariably you get let down by the final product and then you spiral into a whirlwind of disappointment. Well, maybe not that far, but you get the drift. Thankfully, that isn’t the case with A Badly Broken Code. In fact, quite the opposite – we might only be in the third week of the year, but I can safely say if there’s an album that tops Dessa‘s debut full-length, it will be perfect.
Having a plethora of talent on the production boards – MK Larada, Paper Tiger, Cecil Otter and Lazerbeak from her Doomtree crew as well as Big Jess – ensures the beats are the perfect bedfellow for her delivery, a delivery which flits from beautiful melancholic singing on Poor Atlas to her own unique rapping style on The Bullpen.
Throughout the album her poetic lyrics weave intruiging stories taking in relationships, family and the love of her crew whilst never seeming contrived or overly wordy. The album is bound to appeal to many people [it’s been given the thumbs up by Mama Abjekt] because it has so many facets in its make up. But what stands out amongst everything, is the overall feel of the album – it flows seemlessly from one song to the next, never dipping in quality.
Below is a track from the album, Dixon’s Girl, which showcases the talent on offer. Absolutely brilliant.

15 Year’s of Leo Sharp‘s amazing photography exhibition was greeted in London’s Orange Dot gallery last night. It was a great turn out with skaters from all over checking out his including the likes of a hobbling Carl Wilson, Dan Cates, Ben Reamers, Ollie Todd with new chin hedge and the free booze went way to quickly.
Leo was mobbed with people wanting to talk to him and a pub session followed once the doors of the launch were closed. The exhibition can be found at The Orange Dot Gallery, 2 Sutton Lane, EC1M 5PU until Friday 29th January, go check it out and treat yourself to some of his prints for sale here.
