Corduroy. - Single Review: I'm So Bored
03 Dec 2020 // A review by Bethany Mountford
I’m So Bored is the first single release from Corduroy.’s upcoming EP Poor Man’s Velvet.
As the first release of the EP, it shows a crisp, vibrant progression from previous releases which builds excitement for what's still to come. With a jangly guitar tone, an excellent anticipatory drum intro and a sweet bassline too, this song just sort of makes sense.
The song frames false promises made to yourself in a way that isn’t guilt inducing, just a part of life. It’s light, uplifting and what’s more is that the lyrics come with the implication that dancing is the answer, which is a philosophy I can totally get behind. It’s fun, poppy, bedroom dancing music.
Definitely don’t miss Corduroy. on their 10 stop tour this season! It will sound like summer personified.
The full EP is to be release late February, so stay tuned.

EP Review: Bluey Green
08 Jul 2021 // by Bethany Mountford
July 9, 2021, sees the first ever release of Bluey Green – the self-titled EP. As I sometimes do with reviews, I dived right into this EP before reading about, or even having heard of Bluey Green, and nothing could have been a more fitting description than the wavering, reflective shine of the ocean that the name alone evokes.

21 Jun 2021 // by Bethany Mountford
Everything Is As It Shouldn’t Be is the latest release from Daniel Armstrong & The Monsoons, and boy it is a wild ride. The album takes self-proclaimed inspiration from “Bob-Dylan, Talking Heads, Claude Debussy, Velvet Underground and Radiohead,” so I went in with eclectic expectations.

Gig Review: Oh Sweet Nothings @ Valhalla, Wellington - 06/06/2021
09 Jun 2021 // by Bethany Mountford
I’m not sure what I expected, but last Sunday’s Oh Sweet Nothings album release party painted a very interesting scene at Valhalla. The following day, Monday, was to be Queen’s birthday bank holiday and town was consequently busier than the usual Sunday, littered with drunkards and litter.

Fanfickk - Single Review: Everything's On Fire (Feat Wellie)
20 Mar 2021 // by Bethany Mountford
Everything’s on Fire is a fresh, synth-heavy, cynically futuristic track – new from Fanfickk and featuring Korean rapper Wellie. The song itself is immediately engaging, but it has proved to only get more interesting the more I listen to and read about it.

MCK - EP Review: Hot Sounds
10 Mar 2021 // by Bethany Mountford
Hot Sounds brings a sinuous step up from MCK’s Confessions EP released last year. The new four track EP keeps the silky lo-fi base, which has foregrounded previous tracks, and builds on it with a new energy.
