Things I missed in April that you should know about



What with sunshine, holidays and, yes, work getting in the way of blogging I missed out a few things which I wanted to cover in April. So, here's a quick roundup below:


In new album news, TV On The Radio produced their most upbeat and funky record to date with the excellent Nine Types of Light. It also stands as a fitting tribute to their late bassist, Gerard Smith, who tragically died of cancer at the impossibly young age of 36. You can also check out a film made to accompany the record here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B5GP0AiQMc


Low returned with C'mon, which was not quite vintage stuff from the slowcore three-piece, but served well as a collection of the various guises of the band.


Finally, following my interview with Guillermo Scott Herren, aka Prefuse 73, his new record The Only She Chapters was released in April and proved to be a marvellous little modern classical/fuzzy/trippy experience.


That's all for now, but let's hope May gets us back on track at 78sDW!
