Bruce Peninsula – Steamroller
(from MySpace via Chromewaves)
Recreate the Bruce Peninsula sound for yourself: stand in the middle of a mountain valley, get Mark Lanegan to aim his flemmy bellow down one end and Alison Krauss and some primitive Baptists to croon down the other. Hey presto!
Justin Timberlake – Better Not Together
(from Pretty Much Amazing)
Historically, Justin deals in heartache or ballache. It's heart, not parts, this time.
Cam'ron – I Hate My Job
(from The Smoking Section)
Who better to keep recession rap solvent than an MC who was handed his P45 after making a packet in the boom years? Hard times have yet to hurt him creatively, though.
Crayon – Papercuts
(from MySpace)
No plaid, no anger, no disenfranchisement, hardly any guitars even. Someone invent another new Leeds music scene – quick!
GTRONIC – Iron Man
(from The Fast Life)
We have to step back and let The Fast Life take care of this one: "You like a bit more of the rough and solid kind? You're fucking anti-pudding? Your body won't move unless heavy metal hits heavy metal? Maybe our personal ice dealer GTRONIC from Antwerp got what you've been searching for – tracks hard and flawless like diamonds."
One day, somehow, NMOW will be rough, solid and anti-pudding.
