Having long ago transcended their lo-fi bedroom project roots in favour of lush soundscapes and dreamy atmospherics, 2014 has been a huge year for The Antlers who in June released their fifth studio album, Familiars, to not unexpected fanfare.

Sinead O’Connor – ‘I’m not bossy, I’m the Boss’ Australian Tour 2015
Recently returning with an album that is both one of the artistic high points of her storied career and a worthy successor to 2012’s rapturously received How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?

Bob Dylan: The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration Album Review
Helping to celebrate Dylan’s then 30 years in the recording business was a collection of powerhouse friends as well as a few artists somewhat new to the scene. The line-up was also not so genre specific, so Country legends Johnny and June Carter Cash, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson shared the stage with newbie’s (at the time) like Eddie Vedder, Sinead O’Connor and Tracy Chapman. The common denominator was the songs by Bob Dylan.
Well-known tracks are everywhere but along side ...
