Tune Tuesday: Prince Rama – Bahia

‘Bahia’ is the first track from Prince Rama’s new album Xtreme Now. The album is the inaugural entry into what the sisters have coined as the “Extreme Sports Genre.” Inspired to musically match the metaphysical intensity of extreme sports’ death-defying feats, Prince Rama looked to their own personal flirtations with death and time-dilation. In a […]

Jeffrey Lewis And Los Bolts: Manhattan

Featured image Jacob Blickenstaff Jeffrey Lewis is the king of US DIY music. Throughout the last ten years he has dedicated himself to crossing melancholy folk and pure garage rock doing it by himself as much as he can. Out of music Lewis passes time by writing and drawing comic books, often accompanying songs live […]

Half Moon Run: Sun Leads Me On

So, we here at Plum HQ are back for a round-2-full-on-review of Canadian indie-folk/indie-rock group Half Moon Run, following the release of their second album “Sun Leads Me On”, that came out last Friday. I am pleased to tell you that since our previous review of their single ‘I Can’t Figure Out What’s Going On’, the […]

Boogarins: Manual

How have I not heard of these guys before? They play The Old Blue Last in London at the end of the month. If I’m not mistaken that’s a FREE venue. I won’t be able to go, but there’s hope yet for you. If you’re around the capital, go. You won’t regret it.

Half Moon Run: I Can’t Figure Out What’s Going On

The first time I ever heard the Canadian ‘indie folk’ quartet, Half Moon Run, was on a rainy November day back in 2012. Their first single ‘Full Circle‘ was featuring on one of the Spotify Discover Weekly playlists, and it’s safe to say that less than a minute into the track, emotions were running pretty […]

Gengahr: Tired Eyes EP

As we enter the month of ghosts and ghouls that is October, a beautifully eerie Gengahr release surprise EP Tired Eyes– one which follows on to create deluxe version of debut album A Dream Outside. Out of the blue and into our ears flows the enchanting tunes of said four piece, an EP that seems […]

Beirut: No No No

For those already acquainted with Beirut’s distinctively bright and upbeat sound, this 9-track, stripped back album is likely to fall short of the mark. As much as you might try to overlook it, there undoubtedly seems to be an absence of the jazzed passion that singer Zach Condon expressed so eloquently in the band’s debut […]

Le Butcherettes: A Raw Youth

People, including myself, love to try and define what punk is supposed to be: “Punk is supposed to be honest!”, “Punk is supposed to be political!”. I’ve always felt like these assumptions have never come close to what it is really supposed to be. But Teri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes summed it up better […]

Mac DeMarco: Another One

Following the release of Salad Days in 2014, Mac DeMarco grabbed the attention of many with his casual guitar and synth sounds. Both as a person and through his music, Mac breathes effortlessness, and his new mini-album Another One is no different. An album embodying the self confidence of DeMarco, it is made for spontaneity.
