"As the title would suggest, this is a very spacey sounding album. They have a similar style to fellow Australian band Tame Impala but they are not on the same level as them. A solid effort though"  Reply

"Some filler, but the best songs are really good, making this a very solid addition to Costello's catalogue.

As someone who cut his musical teeth in the period from 1979-1984, Japan stood out for me as being exactly what I was looking for in a band: they were extremely talented musicians, they (mostly) ploughed their own furrow, and they looked gorgeous! They got a lot of criticism at the ..."  [+]  Reply

"Actress is the moniker under which DJ Darren Cunningham works under. This album, “R.I.P." is his first full-length studio album, previously he’s done some work with Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and also with Gorillaz front-man Damon Albarn, but now Cunningham has decided to work on his own.

"It was only recently I learned of the sad passing of FOW founding member Adam Schlesinger in April 2020 of COVID related complications so I’ve going back over the FOW catalogue I so adored through the 90’s and early 2000’s. The 3 peat of ‘Fountains of Wayne’ (1996), ‘Utopia Parkway’ (1999) and ‘W..."  [+]  Reply
