Hannah Cohen – Child Bride
14 May 2012 | aaamusicShe looks beautiful in her record’s artwork photograph. I have never heard of her name. Hannah Cohen is a New York model (no, please, we don’t need another Carla Bruni), her mother is British, her father is a jazz … Read More
Stalking Horse – Specters
14 May 2012 | aaamusicRecently I felt I was obliged, as an avid NME reader, to try and listen to Animal Collective’s 2009 “Masterpiece” Merriweather Post Pavilion. I felt that I was missing out, that many others had gained a deeper appreciation of … Read More

Elsie – Time To Go
14 May 2012 | aaamusicElsie is a promising contender in the already busy music world of independent female 20-somethings. Our Liverpudlian ladette seemingly channels Blondie in this quirky piece of guitar-driven power pop. ‘Time To Go’ is the story of a short-lived rocky … Read More
Christa Vi – Your Heart
14 May 2012 | aaamusicYour Heart is the latest single from London based Australian/German singer-songwriter Christa Vi. The single combines dancey synth with tip-toeing piano, melodic harmonies and beautiful vocals.

The Scratch – Great Adventure
14 May 2012 | aaamusicGreat Adventure is the 4th album from St Albans band The Scratch. The album sounds distinctly retro and brings together classic ingredients: harmonies, humour and pinches of English eccentricity in short but sweet 3 minute songs. The band’s influences … Read More
