Lovelock – Burning Feeling
May 14, 2012 By
What would you get if you take Neon Indian or Washed Out and leave out all the obligatory loops, samples and hazy Glo-fi elements. The answer to this question is provided by a multi-talented producer/musician from New York who goes by many aliases. His given name is Steven Moore. Moore is the bass player and [...]
Breton’s credible audio attack
April 24, 2012 By
Album and concertreview Breton at Paradiso, April 19th 2012 - Breton are four cutting-edge sound (and video) designers with a Britpop attitude that could easily have made them into an insufferable symbiosis of Blur and James Blake. Fortunately, Breton do not utilize their Cockney wit by prancing about like a bunch of smart alecs, trying to [...]
Manou’s take on 2011 ‘live’
January 3, 2012 By
The atmosphere of every live-experience depends on so many little things, like the day of the week, the weather, the tourschedule, the beer and so on. So, a top ten of concerts is more like a list of moments that were important for me personally, than an attempt to rank the best live-bands of 2011: 1 [...]
Time For A Rewind: The Fuzzbabe Looks Back On 2011
January 1, 2012 By
The time of year has come – time to take a look back to appreciate it all before making the new list of things to do and see in 2012. The fuzzbabe has reflected and made note of all the super and not so super music of 2011… or at least in my opinion. I [...]
Fenech-Soler: Champions of their own league
October 10, 2011 By
When someone accused me of being a ‘droogkloot’ last Saturday night during the performance of British Nu-disco act Fenech-Soler in Bitterzoet, I didn’t protest. What is a ‘droogkloot’ you wonder? Several online dictionaries have attempted to translate this Dutch phrase and failed miserably. The funniest translation I found is ‘dry fuck’, but the literal translation [...]
Fenech-Soler to play Bitterzoet in October
July 22, 2011 By
One of our favourite live and studio-acts of 2010 will play in Amsterdam for the first time on the 8th of October. British nu-disco outfit Fenech-Soler delivered one the best dance-pop album in recent history, containing excellent dancefloor hits like Lies and Demons. On top of that their live performances are totally uplifting. Should summer [...]
Friendly Fires – Pala
May 22, 2011 By
Album & concertreview, Friendly Fires, May 20th 2011, Melkweg Old Room. The best thing about Friday night’s concert are the stage lights. Not that the indie-dance outfit Friendly Fires aren’t giving a great performance, its just that the lighting equipment they brought along is awesome, if perhaps a bit oversized for the Melkweg’s old room. We feel like sitting in one of those [...]

Indiefuzz staff list: 21 best cd’s of 2010: no. 10 to 7
December 28, 2010 By
10. Wild Nothing – Gemini ‘Wild Nothing masters the art of constructing splenetic lullabies out of – in itself – heartening and sunny elements.’ 9. Fenech Soler – Fenech Soler ‘Three outstanding singles were the harbingers for a timeless dance album that many a-lists artists would commit bloody murder for. Fenech-Soler combine the euphoric qualities of house music, with the snug glamour [...]
