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.

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.

It’s always nice to get a little recognition from a PR, to the point that they come directly to you in regards to reviewing one of their artists. It’s just the kind of ego boost that every writer needs. So when Ellie from Stay Loose sent me over Leif Vollebekk’s latest album Twin Solitude, I was absolutely up for giving it a listen.

If anything is going to grab my attention when browsing for the latest albums available for review, it’s this statement:
“This must be up someone’s street…”
The debut album from Sundara Karma came out the other day and it is a massive moment for the band, definitely not one to be missed. Continue reading “Sundara Karma – Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect || VH Album Review”

Oh lord, oh my giddy aunt, Ry X, you enchanting soul. I’ve been into Ry X’s music for a little while now, however in the last year or so I may have neglected him a little. This was until I found out there was an opportunity to get guest list through Vulture Hound for his recent UK tour. I just had to go to his show at Shepherds Bush.
