So the NME has finally given up and will no longer be printed..... Can't say that I'm in any way upset by that. The snobbish indie ink rags had no appeal to me even as a student and derided most of what I enjoyed (metal, goth, etc.).
The Levellers summed up how I felt in the lyrics to 100 years of solitude:
"The NME was nothing to you,
And the Maker well the maker of who?"

I can fairly well guarantee you won't hear another album like this all year.... The first album from Gwenno was sung all in Welsh and now for the follow up, Le Kov, it's all sung in Cornish
The strangeness of lyrics makes it all a bit other worldly and the woozy psychedelic atmosphere of the music heightens that feeling
The vocals on the opener are all breathless and seductive, almost dragging you in. Track 4, Eus Keus? is what would have happened if Kraftwerk had grown up in Truro
It all gets weirder as it goes along - Daromes y'n Howl is a sort of kosmiche rag time
It's a very hard album to review and will probably be one you love or hate but early indications are it will be the former
