A few years ago (maybe 2005…) PM went mental for Precious Fathers, an instrumental bunch from Vancouver. They were a slow-burning affair, both musically and progressively, culminating in them taking a good four years to release to their excellent self-titled debut (thanks to stints in other bands, including Destroyer ferchrissakes). Alluvial Fan is coming out [...]

How’s Your Week? – Malcolm Middleton
Malcolm Middleton. Rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? PM is honoured to have a few words from the ex-Arab Strap-ee and truly excellent solo artist. Despite what you may have read, he’s not disappearing.
In a word, how’s your week?
Not good. Ups & downs. I’ve been rehearsing with my band and I find these things stressful, [...]

How’s Your Week? – Steve Abel
This week, the escalating-in-excellence Steve Abel has a go. His latest album is really good, and you’d buy it if you knew about how good it was. Here’s how good it is. Anyway, recovering from the torrential water attacks from nature which habitually bombard our fair capital, here’s Steve.
In a word, how’s your week?
Bustling.
What did [...]

How’s Your Week? – Morton Valence
This time, PM has managed to pin down Rob from Morton Valence and ask him our usual pertinent posers. This could well be the first subject where the final question is answered with one statement. Then again, on hearing Morton Valence’s latest album, it comes as no surprise. Bitterness and loveliness all bundled up like [...]

How’s Your Week? – One Day International
Matt from One Day International gives us an insight to what lies in store for those who wade in the tempestuous seas of rock, those who scoff in the very, pristine face of Eoghan Quigg, those who cast off the shackles of employment only to have them intermittently wrapped around their ever-gnarling and vein-clustered wrists and arms [...]

How’s Your Week? – Seeland
This week, loyal lovers of music that swoons, we speak to Timothy Felton from Seeland, whose delicious debut album Tomorrow Today is reviewed by PM here. As you can see from his succinct answers, brevity used correctly can make for still-more intriguing additions to an already-enveloping musical world. The album, though, you should buy. Kind of like [...]

How’s Your Week? – Official Secrets Act
Popular music has its edges tweaked and caressed by the Official Secrets Act continually. They make it sound easy. This maxim, gleanable from this review of their last single, is what makes them interesting. It is PM’s sincere hope that they listen to the work of Magoo, and in Magoo find solace, and one of these [...]

How’s Your Week? – The Long Lost
The Long Lost are just lovely (read our review of their debut LP here), and Albert and Laura were kind enough to answer our silly questions. Also, this is the second week in a row someone’s used a ‘-tic’ word to sum up their week. Good one Dent May! Next week, Bono describes his week as, [...]

How’s Your Week? – Dent May
Dent May, along with his trusty ukulele, is an utterly worthy step on a tightrope between cabaret and heartbreak, but when your rope’s made of Serge Gainsbourg’s chest hair. For a more serious summation, have a look at PM’s review of his newly-released debut LP, here. After that, learn about Dent’s week below!
In a word, [...]

How’s Your Week? – Left With Pictures
This week (well, last week really, did you see the snow?!), we had quick word with Stuart Barter from Left With Pictures, whose sublime Secretly EP is reviewed here. PM interviewed the band once here, as well. Look how brainy! Sounds like the band have had a cracking week, and Stuart was all eager to impart…
In a [...]
