• PWR BTTM review – queer culture, sequins and sly wit

  04-12-2016 15:06
  
  West Hill Hall, Brighton
  Garage punk and gender politics come together, if a little shambolically, in an LGBTQ amalgam of beards, biceps and big hair If queer punk finds its commercial feet in 2017, it will be largely thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of PWR BTTM. On their debut UK tour, Ben Hopkins and Liv Bruce, whose interest in drag culture and garage rock brought them together while students in New York, turn gender politics into a something-for-everyone parfait. On the one hand, inclusive

• Skepta review – visceral thrills and one giant leap for grime

  04-12-2016 14:50
  
  Alexandra Palace, London
  After a hugely successful 2016, Skepta unleashes his virulent strain of grime to a vast arena, prowling the stage with brooding menace and spitting bileReceived wisdom has long held that grime, the attitudinal amalgam of garage, jungle, rap and electro that ripped out of east London’s sink estates at the turn of the millennium, is primarily a niche concern, too edgy and parochial to cross over to the mainstream. In 2016, Skepta has prompted a major rethink of this

  Cinema requires the suspension of disbelief to operate. Music, by contrast, often needs a suspension of cynicism in order to provide its serotonin hit.You might argue that the Rolling Stones have long been a gimlet-eyed heritage operation, with Messrs Jagger, Richards, Watts and Wood shareholders in a profitable legend that pumps out product and tours to a moneyed audience of heavily co-investe

  Scotland’s indie veterans play nice, as ever. But you can’t help wishing for just a little Teenage angst…You wouldn’t know it to look at the five unassuming men on stage, but they are defying the laws of rock physics. Two-thirds of the way through a sold-out UK tour celebrating Teenage Fanclub’s 10th album, the Scottish band’s three singer-songwriters – lead guitarist Raymond McGinley, rhythm guitarist Norman Blake and bassist Ge

• Peter Doherty: Hamburg Demonstrations review – genuine ragged charm

  04-12-2016 09:00
  
  (BMG/Clouds Hill)A cynic might look at the tracklisting for Peter Doherty’s first solo album in seven years and conclude that he was washed up as a creative force. Among its 11 tracks are one he wrote 15 years ago, a rerecorded version of last year’s tribute to Amy Winehouse and two versions of recent single I Don’t Love Anyone (But You’re Not Just Anyone). And yet there’s a genuine ragged charm to the likes of playful, Brighton Rock-referencing opener Kolly Kibber

  (Fellside)Making common cause between antique songs and present circumstances is one of the grails of modern folk, one this young duo pull off impressively on their second album, with old ballads like The Grazier Tribe and Bonny Bunch of Roses fitting snugly alongside originals such as Moved On and Night Hours. The former concerns the battle to secure social housing in east London (the celebrated Focus E15), the latter the hardships of the nightshift. Boo Hewerdine’s Harvest Gypsies and th

• Django Reinhardt with the Glenn Miller’s All Stars: Paris 1945 review – immaculate

  (Milan)Glenn Miller died in a plane crash in December 1944, but his US army air force band, now based in newly liberated Paris, kept going. These 12 tracks, recorded there in January 1945, feature the band’s swing stars, including pianist Mel Powell, clarinettist/saxophonist Peanuts Hucko and drummer Ray McKinley. On four numbers they jam along with France’s jazz hero, guitarist Django Reinhardt. Although not entirely forbidden by the Nazis, jazz had been kept under wraps during the

• Childish Gambino: Awaken, My Love! review – unimpeachable funk

  04-12-2016 09:00
  
  (Caroline International)Not content with adding the young Lando Calrissian to his acting CV (in a future Star Wars film), the Renaissance actor/TV writer/rapper born Donald Glover has also taken his former hip-hop alias – Childish Gambino – into new realms: retro-futurist funk. His target on Awaken, My Love! is the sense of stack-heeled possibility that imbued the early 70s, cut through with the squelch of fear (Zombies), the bittersweetness of non-custodial fatherhood (Baby Boy) and

• Angelina: Vagabond Saint review – sumptuous southern mythology

  04-12-2016 09:00
  
  (Wonderful Sound)Rural England has never been short of dusty country and blues singers, born in the wrong place and time. But there’s an unusually strong double-take quality to the debut by Isle of Wight-raised Angelina; you might think she came from the Mississippi delta if her passport didn’t say otherwise. Part of what convinces about this record is her love for the mythology of the south: never mind that her lyrics are a little overstuffed with preachers, runaways and graveyard t

• Gabriella Cohen: Full Closure and No Details review – slow-burn breakup songs

  04-12-2016 08:59
  
  (Dot Dash)Given that it was made in a mere 10 days, Full Closure and No Details never once sounds rushed. Cohen, a Melbourne-based singer-songwriter and the frontwoman of garage band the Furrs, possesses a sleepy, dispassionate voice and a fondness for narcotic rock. Seductive, broody and occasionally sinister, her debut dissects a failed relationship, the languid music twinned with sentiments that range from regretful to venomous (“My love came quickly/ Was he there at all?” runs th

His enthusiasm for ridiculing the new abstract maths was evident in the knots and riddles, never explained, in Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

• Scriabin: The Complete Piano Sonatas CD review – Peter Donohoe is a masterly guide

  04-12-2016 08:24
  
  Peter Donohoe (piano)(Somm) (2 CDs)Scriabin (1872-1915) was a close contemporary of Rachmaninov but died nearly 30 years earlier. His 10 piano sonatas span the whole of his relatively short adulthood. Accordingly they range stylistically from straightforward, often Rachmaninov-like passion (sonatas 1 and 2) to the more fantastical landscapes familiar from Scriabin’s distinctive orchestral works such as The Poem of Ecstasy. Formal structures give way to organically shaped single movements,
