Review: Beach House gets in on this year's Record Store Day hype with The Become EP, which is a collection of five songs from the Once Twice Melody sessions. Say the band, "We didn't think they fit in the world of OTM, but later realized they all fit in a little world of their own.' As such they are presented here with their own scuzzy and spacious sound and special capturing of live playing spirit. The tunes are outliers for where the band is generally headed right now but still offer plenty of fans old and new to enjoy.

Review: · Hot on the heels of acclaim from Pitchfork,
Stereogum and various other dot-com entities,
Toronto two-piece Memoryhouse make their Sub
Pop debut with ‘The Years’, a mini album
containing their 2010 digital-only, self-released EP
fully re-recorded, remixed and remastered, plus
the new tracks ‘Modern, Normal’ and ‘Quiet

gorgeous, ethereal synth-pop songs, all of which
are seeing their first release on CD or LP.
· ‘The Years’ was re-recorded and mixed by Evan
Abeele with the help of Daniel Gray in Toronto.
· Memoryhouse will also be releasing a new fulllength
in 2012.

Review: Taking its name from the band's two favourite guitar effects pedals - the Univox Super-Fuzz and the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, both credited with producing a 'dirty sound' - it's safe to say Mudhoney came up with one of the finest double entendre titles with their 1988 debut EP. Arriving through the seminal Sub Pop, the record would fail to grab the attention of the masses, or the nascent grunge underground bubbling beneath the streets of their native Seattle at the time, but now we know just how wrong people can be. Skip forward to today, and Mudhoney's first spawn is recognised as one of the seminal outings in the early Pacific Northwestern alternative guitar scene that would go on to dominate the world, albeit for a relatively brief time. Praised for being "sexy, smart, humorous and hard", hearing the tracks today affords an opportunity to draw direct lines between the heavy rock that came before, and what was being born.
