Caravan Palace // Panic

Pavlis has to apologise for a long delayed review of a scorcher of an EP.

A magnificent debut album from a band that has been on Pavlis’ radar for a good while now.

Here is a collection of songs to feast on, a taster menu of all that Eliza and her pals offer, one artfully window dressed in poignant lyricism, of love and longing and loss.

Two arguably unrecognised classics get the rerelease treatment and are well worth checking out.

Support local talent. Buy this album. And watch Kitewing soar.

It’s a brilliant debut with all the flavours and buzz of that very special gig.

“The Whiskey, The Liar, The Thief” serves itself perfectly as a point of view for this review, since the entire evening can be summarised by the three subjects in the song’s title.

Embrace have succeeded in creating a giant, glittering pot of gold out of loads of ingredients

"We travel around in pairs. That doesn’t mean we’re playing the same set everywhere around the world at the same time though, we just turn up and play to the crowd.”

Smoky, classic 70s rock, influenced by bluesy lyrics and pace, with some good ol’ country to boot.

"If Little Matador is going to be fucking massive, does that mean that Snow Patrol is going to be seen as a side project? D’you see what I mean? It’s just another band."

“touring and life’s unexpected events! We have the privilege of doing many things all around the world. We never know what’s around the corner, and that’s where we get our inspiration from, I guess.”
