  Benjamin Clementine is a balladeer with a backstory, from Catholic schoolboy in London to homeless in Paris. On the eve of the release of his new album, he tells Kate Mossman how music gave him a voiceBenjamin Clementine looms above me, a strange but gentle presence.

  (Atlantic)
  Adam Granduciel emerges from crippling introspection and perfectionism to serve up a set of‘shimmering chrome dreams’ on his band’s fourth albumThe cover of the fourth War on Drugs album is a red herring. Alone in a windowless room, songwriter Adam Granduciel looks up from his keyboard, apparently annoyed by an intruding photographer.

  27-08-2017 09:00
