Albums: Braids - Native Speaker (Kanine)
Just how do you define â€œdream popâ€, a sudden title thatâ€™s been stapled to the sound of Montrealâ€™s Braids?

Live Reviews: Erland & the Carnival @ Exeter Phoenix 05.04.11
Noble Exeter sees its comers and goers lifting its pompous nose above the weak and those that leave the town so abruptly. Three dark coated travellers drive into the town (a classic choice would be a horse and cart) bearing instruments readying themselves to play a night of witchcraft tunes and mystic songs at The Phoenix.

Albums: Taraf De Haidouks and Kocani Orkestar - Band Of Gypsies II (Crammed Discs)
Mainstream Western culture has a schizophrenic attitude to gypsy culture â€“ it is fascinated by its â€œothernessâ€, yet marginalises and discriminates against it. Yet, go to most festivals over the last few years, and the gypsy bands such as Gogol Bordello attract some of the wildest, most mad-for-it crowds.

Albums: Kreidler - Tank (Bureau B)
After 15 years together, Kreidler's German foursome of Thomas Klein, Alexander Paulick, Andreas Reihse and Detlef Weinrich like to work fast and loose when it comes to recording - turning up and laying down tracks as close as possible to live performance.

Albums: Baby Dee - Regifted Light (Drag City)
Singer/pianist Baby Dee is a true one-off. A charmingly eccentric gentle giant, male but female-identified, she could only have made it in New York. And while she may move in arty circles, this most unconventional of figures produces some of the loveliest, most accessible music around.
