Peter, Bjorn And John - Writer’s Block
While we could suggest stalking the drummer it’s probably best to go and buy the album. You’ll be getting a treat.

The Young Knives - Voices Of Animals And Men
In short, ‘Voices Of Animals And Men’ could easily be the most impressive album of this year — debut or otherwise.

The Dears - Gang Of Losers
Murray Lightburn is definitely one of the best songwriters of this decade so far, proving it with tracks such as ‘Ballad Of Human Kindness’ with its pop-electro-keyboard sampling beat.
4 Stars
The Sunshine Underground - Raise The Alarm
The singles are the obvious stand-outs — ‘Put You In Your Place’ as immediate in context as it is on the dancefloor, ‘I Ain’t Losing Any Sleep’ equally as infectious.
