Molek FMPenguin Prison: Penguin Prison
First spin and it’s yet another act on the ’80s NYC/Euro synth-disco bandwagon. A second listen yields comparisons with Frankmusik, Holy Ghost!, a less cheesy Calvin Harris, and even George Michael.
Algodón Egipcio: ‘Los Temas Turbios’
What in the name of all things JUICE are we doing writing about a Venezuelan artist? You must be wondering. Suddenly, we can speak fluent Spanish? We understand the language beyond the words “Si”, “No hablo Espanyol” and “Me Gusta”? To be really honest, we have no clue what this guy is saying, but we […]
The Black Keys: El Camino
In the fickle times that today’s music industry exists within, it’s all too easy for a single LP to be the high point of a band’s career. Yet having reached their seventh album, Ohio rock outfit The Black Keys have perfected their sound, and against all odds, proved they’re here to stay. Admittedly there’s a […]
The Roots: Undun
Undun is The Roots most ambitious and shortest record to date. Clocking in at only 39 minutes, the Sufjan Stevens-inspired album nevertheless tells an urban tale of the unmentioned death of a street thug told in reverse. Here band leader ?uestlove, mistakenly thinking he was Gaspar Noé and Charles Burnett (just look at the Killer […]
Amy Winehouse: Lioness: Hidden Treasures
Gauging the success of a posthumous release is an exercise in diplomatic and controlled criticism. It’s not that as reviewers we fear reader backlash, rather it’s a natural reaction to commenting on what could be the last few materials your favourite recently deceased artist has left you with. Amy Winehouse was a prodigious talent whose […]
Love Me Butch: Worldwide Transgression
Formed in 1997, Love Me Butch is one band that refuses to be labelled as a one hit wonder. Instead of sitting on the fame they had gained with their 2005 single ‘Hollywood Holiday’, the quartet strived for regional acclamation by touring most of Southeast Asia. The band has since opened for international bands like […]
Jabèplastik: Britrock Wisdom
Hafiz Rafar has been involved in the music scene for the past 15 years, evolving from one genre to another and at one point the drummer of afternoon tea before deciding to pursue his own career. Now based in the UK and known as Jabèplastik, he’s busy dabbling in electronic instruments, channeling them through tunes […]
Marionexxes: Sexy Indie Pop
‘Harimau Malaya’ might be the song they are best known for commercially but it was ‘Marilyn Monroe’ that cemented their presence to us. Their brand of subversive pop punk mixed with transcendental Engrish lyrics (this is not snark, honest) on the latter track is heightened to great effect on ‘Pop’, the first single off their […]
Celldweller: ‘Frozen’
Imagine Marilyn Manson, deadmau5 and Vannila Ice (post-’Ice Ice Baby’) all rolled into one! Here’s electronic rock mastermind Celldweller’s new music video…
Zee Avi: Ghostbird
Zee Avi, Malaysia’s answer to a Mandy Mapes and Norah Jones amalgam is back. After her tour of doing Malaysia proud and putting us (finally) on the international radar, she tiptoes cautiously to the expansion of her sound. On Ghostbird, she tries to reach precariously out of her comfort zone and experiment a little. This […]
