Photo by Scott J FarrellI can already hear the cries, “Jackson Browne, a bad album – what heresy is this.” After a moment, though, those same voices say more reflectively, “Well, there is his recent output,” or “Well, there was that time in the 80s; that decade wasn’t kind to many people”. Then they would, as you are doing, wait for me to put clarity and arguments together, and then disagree with me totally. And I expect it.I am going to start with that cliché that leads this feature on many occasions; Jackson Browne has not actually made a bad…

Ahead of their Main Stage gig at Download this weekend, unpeople have announced that their debut album, we are unpeople, will drop on October 9 via SharpTone. To celebrate, The Midlands riff machine have also released a new single, the heavy friends, which singer/guitarist Jake Crawford explains is about love, and being worried about it. “It’s essentially a love song from the perspective of someone who is wholly sceptical about the very concept of love and what it’s come to mean in a modern context” he says. “I am essentially saying I am going to kill the very concept of…

The director of such memorable chills’n’thrills classics as Halloween, The Thing, Assault On Precinct 13, They Live, Escape From New York, Escape From LA and Village Of The Damned, John Carpenter surely needs no introduction. In recent years, Carpenter has focused more on music-making than film-making, expanding upon his pioneering synth-driven soundtracks for most of the above movies to create a fascinating catalogue of new electronic music in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and his godson Daniel Davies (son of The Kinks’ Dave). At 78, he’s about to add another new string to his bow: Carpenter has just announced…

Boualili’s lineage is clear; early nights spent obsessing over the sharp flows of Lauryn Hill and the rhythmic storytelling of Tupac haven’t vanished. They inform the phrasing and the conversational delivery that define much of the record’s pacing. The inclusion of a stripped back cover of “Isn’t She Lovely” could have been a standard, obligatory nod to her inspirations, but in Boualili’s hands, it feels like a necessary grounding, a quiet, singular moment of gratitude amidst the static of self-definition.What I Didn’t Know Thenis, ultimately, a record about the luxury of reflection. It is not merely a collection of songs;…
Jimi Hendrix, session guitarist turned solo superstar, was primed to explode when he landed smack in the middle of London’s burgeoning psychedelic rock scene in September 1966. Former Animals bassist Chas Chandler had imported Hendrix into Britain, impressed with his performances in New York, and it had been decided that his first single would be Hey Joe, a traditional song of uncertain origin made famous by folkie Tim Rose.The following month, Chandler took Hendrix and his swiftly assembled band – completed by bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell – into De Lane Lea studios in Holborn, with a newly…
The fashion industry’s sustainability problem is well documented, but one corner of the market rarely gets the scrutiny it deserves: bridal party dressing.Every year, bridesmaids and maids of honour buy dresses they may wear once, store indefinitely, and eventually donate or discard. The environmental cost sits in the fabric production, dyeing, shipping, packaging, and waste attached to garments designed for a single afternoon.It does not have to work this way. With smarter choices at the shopping stage, a maid of honour dress can become one of the most versatile pieces in a wardrobe rather than a guilt-inducing reminder at the…
