In the last month or so I have fallen deeply in love with Meadowlark. From listening to their album ready for review, to travelling to Guildford for a live show, my thoughts on this band have gone from "yeah they're cool" to "omg I just can't stop talking about them". Having been sent their Nocturnes … Continue reading Meadowlark || VH Reviews
I was lucky enough to get press for Common People festival again this year, and much like last time, my favourite part of the day was The Uncommon Stage.

Read the full review here: http://vulturehound.co.uk/2017/06/common-people-2017-southampton-festival-review/ My top three acts … Continue reading COMMON PEOPLE 2017 || VH Festival Review
If you read my post about the Tashaki Miyaki album, you might remember that I mentioned another dream pop album that I received on the same day. Well, I can finally share it with you!

It is a single that spoke … Continue reading Meadowlark – Postcards || VH Track of the Day
It has been a while since I've connected to an album as strongly as I did with Tashaki Miyaki's debut LP, The Dream. As soon as this album was put forward to the Vulture Hound team for review, I just had to take it. Dream pop? Shoegaze? Yes please. That's my thing. Even one of … Continue reading Tashaki Miyaki – The Dream || VH Album Review
Just a few days ago I was introduced to Bruno Major, a songwriter with smooth vocals and brooding rhythms. I was immediately captivated and knew I had to feature him on Vulture Hound straight away.

Following my review of Leif Vollebekk's latest album, Stay Loose PR asked me to check out another band on their roster. This time it was Bristol based duo Meadowlark with their latest EP, Nocturnes.

I recently wrote a retrospective review of Kings of Leon's third album Because of the Times, as part of Vulture Hound's 10 Albums at 10 series.
