DIY Weekly, 17th February 2014 - Feat. Wild Beasts, Angel Olsen, MØ & More

The new DIY Weekly features a band finding their wild side once more - Wild Beasts.

After the smoothed out ‘Smother’ LP, they’ve returned with a bite and a bang - ‘Present Tense’ is a direct, almighty record all about how modern life is rubbish. It also happens to contain some brilliant songs.

DIY interviews Hayden Thorpe and co. in our cover feature to find out why the band felt the need to “shock and surprise” once more.

Elsewhere in our free to read Weekly edition, we speak to Angel Olsen about establishing herself as a perfect solo star through the startling new album ‘Burn Your Fire For No Witness’.

There’s also Montreal duo Solids, a pair capable of packing the sound of a twenty-piece rock’n’roll band. And there’s only two of them.

In news, MØ tells us all about why she’s ready to make a second album (already!) and Oliver Wilde remarks on the word of mouth success that’s allowed him to return with a hotly-anticipated new record.

Neu recommends the best new music from Allie X, Shivum Sharma and Yumi Zouma.

And in Reviews, the latest records from Angel Olsen, Solids, The Notwist and Bleeding Rainbow go under the spotlight.
