Teitur - Let The Dog Drive Home

It's always a magic moment to discover an artist and recognize you have found something very special. Something that will stuck with you for months ... or years.
It happened to me some weeks ago with Teitur . His new record "Let The Dog Drive Home" is so intense and versatile. It's hard to put this away.

The opener "Feel Good" is starting slowly but raising to a beautiful ballad, followed with the bass driven "God, I Have So Many Things To Tell You" and "Waverly Place" both very melodic and catchy. "Freight Train" is something between David Mead and Aqualung.
Most records show their gems in the first half, Teitur starts exactly here with my three favorite songs from the album: "Betty Hedges", "You Never Leave L.A." and "Let The Dog Drive Home" are irresistible songs.
"Let The Dog Drive Home" finishes with "All I Remember From Last Night Is You", a love song to fell in love to.

Sadly you can't buy the album in the US yet (it's just available in Germany) - listen here:

Jason Falkner - Biography & Discography

There is this kind of musician who is writing, releasing records and performing his own music for more than two decades - but misses the aim that is chart success? The one who creates stunning music and don't get any recognition by public, but by his loyal fans? One of them is Jason Falkner . To sum it up: he may be one of the most underrated musicians of the last two decades. What a pity! Falkner started his musical career with a band called The Three O'Clock but soon he joined a new band of his former bandmate (Roger Joseph Manning Jr.) - Jellyfish . After the success of the first record ( Bellybutton ) he left the band and said he'll be never again a band member again (where he was clearly wrong). His solo career started in 1996 with Presents Author Unknown , followed with the fabulous Can You Still Feel? . I recommend to listen to Can You Still Feel? from start to finish - there's no filler song, no low point. 2001 was a good year for loyal fan...

Pulp - More (new album!)

Pulp's 'More': The Return Following a 24-year break, Britpop icons Pulp return with their eighth studio album, More , set for release on June 6, 2025, via Rough Trade Records. It marks their first full-length studio project since We Love Life in 2001. The album was recorded over the course of three weeks in late 2024 at Orbb Studio in Walthamstow, London, with James Ford handling production. The Creative Process Pulp’s 2023 reunion tour rekindled their creative energy, with the spark first catching fire during soundchecks where they began working on a new track, “Hymn of the North.” This moment marked the beginning of a highly productive songwriting phase that continued throughout 2024. Interestingly, despite Jarvis Cocker’s use of AI in the video for the lead single “Spike Island,” the album itself was created entirely without the aid of artificial intelligence. Album and Track Details More comprises 11 tracks: Spike Island Tina Grown Ups Slow Jam Farm...
