Band of Skulls bassist and vocalist Emma Richardson launches her first solo exhibition ‘Cruisin’ for a Bruisin” today, so we thought after making the cross-over from music into the art world, she might be keen to answer some of our pressing questions about the artistic and intellectual challenges she’s faced along the way. But, and... Read more
Every man and his dog are making EPs these days, crowding the new music scene with tasters and teasers for the discerning listeners to plough through, and presenting the artists with the challenge of grabbing people’s increasingly wavering attention. So when we saw that Jay James Picton was grabbing the mutt by the nuts and... Read more
Optimism is something that sets The Big Pink’s second album ‘Future This’ apart from their debut offering ‘A Brief History of Love’. It’s an optimism that’s partly rooted in the sound – the gloomy guitar fuzz has been pushed aside in favour of a more uplifting concoction of synths and more prominent beats. It’s not just that...

It’s GOON TIME! We’ve been getting our Goon-on to this at Art Wednesday for a few days now and thought it only fair to share it with you. It is, after all, a master class in Hip-Hop DJing – sounds from all across the musical spectrum deconstructed, cut up, and then thrown back together to... Read more
‘A Place to Bury Strangers’ – a name that raises countless questions: ‘where do you bury them?’ and ‘why are you burying them in the first place?’ are just two that spring to mind. Another question though, and perhaps the most important one to ask is ‘are you listening to this band?’ and if not,... Read more
Words by Jim Pilling. Central St Martins students have got it pretty cushty at the moment – not only have they been given an amazing new building, which came with its own very special launch party, they’ve also been handed a brilliant excuse for being late or missing lectures… “Sorry… new building!” Ah student life....

We sat up and listened when we received Breton’s new mix. The whizz-kids have been holed-up at bretonLABS and mixed this special little number to celebrate the announcement of their headline tour, in support of their debut album ‘Other People’s Problems’, due for release early next year. The tour’s going to be short, but we’re... Read more
Words & photos by Jim Pilling. Despite the name strangely reminding us of our Latin classes at school – wasn’t there always an image of a dead dog in the textbooks? And a phrase that we still remember to this day: ‘Caecilius est morte’ (the character’s father, not the dog). No? Just us? Ok, we... Read more
Here at Art Wednesday we love a good one-off. That’s why when we heard about 7s-Eleven record store, we were over the moon. The shop is on today at Bloomsbury’s Orange Dot Gallery until 7pm. It’s populated by stalls for some of the most exciting independent labels in the UK, selling some of the year’s finest... Read more
There’s something a bit jazzy about an 18 minute song. Okay, so it still falls short of Miles Davies’ whopping 27 minute ‘Bitches Brew’, but the word ‘experimental’ is starting to lose its impact with the amount it’s bounded around in the music press these days. So yes, Pyramid Vritra’s 6 song debut album might... Read more
