Listener’s Songs of the Week: New tracks by Teeks, Riiki Reid, The Datsuns, and more (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Following his earlier soulful paean to a new and nervous lover with My Boy comes this equally sensual celebration of desire and sexuality in anticipation of a long-overdue new album Lovers Comet (October 30). Both songs explore physical attraction and love with a frisson of danger (“drink you in ‘til I overdose”), echoed here in the disruptive string passages towards the end. Neither song has “radio hit” stamped on it but the sustained mood suggests Lovers Comet will be one for a night in when y
Oasis is back. The Gallagher brothers are, too (opens the original)

Half the world away: Liam Gallagher looms large, while the rest of Oasis huddle on stage. Photo / Getty Images In 1995, a week after Oasis’s triumphant two-night stand at London’s Earl’s Court, Noel Gallagher was sitting in a tatty room at Granby Halls, Leicester and breezily confident. They’ve secured Britain, he told me, and “concentrating more on international now – we only need to feed ’em here to keep a foothold – and to try to become a proper group, like U2. Proper world tour ’n’ that, ins
Listener’s Songs of the Week: New tracks by Drax Project, Greg Johnson with Mel Parsons, and more (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yes, everyone’s getting older, settling down, getting comfortable and having kids. At least Drax Project appear to be with this light but enjoyable celebration of fatherhood. It’s sentimental but not overly sticky with a loose story about moving closer to the folks acknowledging “same person, better than I was, comfort in my soul” and having a purpose which is better than money: “And she called me dee a dee a”. Next up something about interest rates on the mortgage? No place for cynicism, this i
Listener’s Songs of the Week: New tracks by Queens of the Stone Age, U2, and more (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This rather lovely, lovelorn, somewhat meandering and perhaps unexpectedly dialled-back song finds QOTSA winging it in the studio (this only the second take apparently) but then taking it briefly to the heights we would expect. This follows their very approachable Easy Street single, also on their forthcoming album Perfecth out October 30 which is neatly placed before their Auckland show at Spark Arena December 20. And that kids, is how you manage the career strategies. – Graham Reid As the cont
Eccentric Englishmen continue to confound with new music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Spots ’n’ specs: Robyn Hitchcock brings the quirk while, right, Vini Reilly, produces melodic algebra. Photos / Getty images Frank Zappa didn’t have a monopoly on weird song titles; Robyn Hitchcock’s post-punk Soft Boys gloried in It’s Not Just the Size of a Walnut, Have a Heart, Betty (I’m Not Fireproof), Return of the Sacred Crab, School Dinner Blues… An English eccentric with a gift for Beatlesque pop melodies, the 73-year-old Nashville-based Hitchcock isn’t slowing down. He recently publishe
