Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (Black Vinyl) folk The basement grime and dirty

The basement grime and dirty tape-head sound of their previous work now make space for digital luster and shimmering production values

'Constant Connection' is the new album from Perth-based duo Erasers

it’s less interested in pile-driving and more willing to dwell in liminal spaces

the next stop on Brown’s journey and one that solidifies his reputation as an innovator and hip-hop’s favourite curiosity

good and bad

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (Black Vinyl) folk The basement grime and dirtyFrom the start, Heaven is simply fantastic: on Cherry Coloured Funk, Guthrie's inimitable guitar work chimes leading a low key but forceful rhythm, while Raymonde's grand bass work fleshes it out. Fraser simply captivates; her vocals are the clearest, most direct they've ever been, purring with energy and life. There are many moments of sheer Cocteaus beauty and power, including the title track, with its great chorus. A near perfect album.
