If you are able to imagine a much mellower and ever-so-slightly more cheerful Eels, then you are partway towards understanding what ‘The Errant Charm’, the latest album from US folk band Vetiver, may sound like. It is in fact the fifth offering from Vetiver – a project fronted by Devendra Banhart collaborator Andy Cabic, who was once a member of indie band The Raymond Brake before moving to San Francisco to form Vetiver.

Asthma Attacks, from someone who has witnessed a fair few, are potentially deadly, frightening and far too frequent for comforts sake. Therefore, this song is the exact opposite of one, which is good. I’d hate to be struggling for breath as a result of listening to a song about someone who seems to have Stockholm Syndrome for good old London Town.

With their fourth and latest record ‘Union Black’ released earlier this year, Skindred have had time to gauge the fantastic response prior to their return to the UK festival circuit. Having taken Sonisphere by storm in 2010, the Welsh foursome rocked up to Donington to not only dominate the mainstage, but treat fans of ragga-metal to a smaller acoustic set. Prior to this, Benji and Ayra took a little time to chat. You’ll learn a lot about what Skindred stand for, and you’ll also learn never to tell Benji you’re scared of spiders.

Six years is a long time. When Incubus emerged with their last musical offering ‘Light Grenades’ in 2006, George Bush was still the US President, John Terry was known just for his football skills and Wyclef Jean was too busy singing about Shakira’s honest hips to be worrying about Haitian politics.

So I guess we need a little background on the Apartments. First up, this Australian group don’t exist anymore, and haven’t done since 2007, and even that was for a series of gigs rather than a release or anything new. In fact, since the late 1970s, this group have formed and split no less than three times, and have had 22 different members. Some of their work is critically acclaimed, and some of it is guff. This one, sadly, is guff.

I remember reviewing an album a few weeks ago where I was harping on about how no-one knows how to write an album anymore. There are loads of collections of “songs” but little flow between them. The Sounds ignore this completely and start this one off with a beautiful little slow burner that pricks under your skin just a little bit, wiggling around almost unnoticed as the thumping bass drum gets a little more forceful. You’re locked in now. You can’t escape. The hi-hat trills gently as the trance synth fades in, followed by the repetitive, but needfully so lyrics. “It’s so easy when you know how it’s done. You’ve got to seize the moment before it’s gone” This “moment”, or “album” as most should call it, is 41 minutes long, and it’s not far from being the longest, and greatest moment ever.
