Live Review
It’s a brilliant show, from a brilliant band, doing brilliant things.

Enough ennui to scare a French philosopher.
5th October 2013, 1:02pm
Admirable, but lacking personality.

Calvi proves she’s no one-trick pony on this triumph of a second record.
3rd October 2013, 10:21am
Sometimes gloriously messy, sometimes just simply glorious.
11th September 2013, 12:13pm
A definite step in a positive direction.

The common thread throughout, perhaps unsurprisingly, is Danilova’s voice.

Live Review
Austra would be better, in live mode at least, if they were just a little bit more mysterious.
20th June 2013, 12:18pm
A bit warmer, a bit lusher and a bit less lonely.

‘From The Hills Below The City’ is quite a sunny album. But quite sunny won’t set your hair on fire.
3rd June 2013, 8:07am
A simply great album.

Individually these would be two good albums. But as a complimentary pair they become much more.

‘English Little League’, like many of its GBV brethren, is a scattergun, busy thing, full of ideas but with a tendency to leave some of them as skeletal as an atopic squirrel.

In many ways, it’s not awful. Except lyrically. Lyrically it is definitely awful.

Live Review
Fragile, beautiful and more than a little bit strange.
12th April 2013, 1:42pm
For all the vast amounts of atmosphere it creates, nothing much happens.
5th April 2013, 12:03pm
Somewhere ‘betwixt Alex Turner’s skilful vignettes, Pulp’s skilful vignettes and well, Morrissey’s skilful vignettes. Basically, there’s a lot of vignetting.

For all the odd moments where it clicks, the overriding impression this album gives is one of a band going through the motions.
17th March 2013, 12:15pm
Her recklessness momentum is forever tinged with a hint of shyness.
14th March 2013, 2:11pm
An album that makes you long for a beard, a porch, a shotgun and the onset of dusk.
3rd March 2013, 1:28pm
It’s a dark and contemplative morning after the night before for the band’s fifteenth.
13th February 2013, 12:44pm
A stark, sparse, brief lament through troubles. Of the heart, the soul, and the sea.

Live Review
Ragged, romantic and tremendously exciting.
13th January 2013, 4:15pm
With Bob Vylan, St Vincent, girl in red, Lizzy McAlpine and more.
