About Elli Brazzill

I’m Elli, 20 and live in Manchester. I like good music, gigs, rice krispies, 7” singles and puns. Alex G, Day Wave, Jaws, Talking Heads, Best Friends, Mac DeMarco, The Strokes, Parquet Courts and Tyler the Creator are pretty cool aren’t they. @cometobrazzill on twitter.

Discovery of the Week: Mowbird

Often the theme of an evening when you head over to “a mate’s gig” is generally their dodgy band’s first ever performance. This usually involves someone spilling their beer on a pedal board, getting punched, or general shit going down….

Discovery of the Week: Cairobi

Has anyone done psychedelic pop since the ’60s? Of course, The Beatles and The Velvet Underground were considered psychedelic and pop because they were popular at the time. But when considering more modern bands, I can think of plenty of…

Discovery of the Week: Reichenbach Falls

When Googling Reichenbach Falls, you are presented with the Swiss waterfalls (of course) and the popular Sherlock Holmes stories. Folk duo Reichenbach Falls have some work to do to get themselves to the top of that search but – after hearing…

Discovery of the Week: Mitski

Mitski is cool. Yeah she’s cool because she makes kick ass music and is signed to Double Double Whammy Records who also house the likes of Frankie Cosmos, Quarterbacks, Porches and LVL UP (their roster is one to be revered…

Discovery of the Week: Cavalry

It’s pretty tough to find some really good alt-folk at the moment. Mumford & Sons are releasing crappier music by the day, and the only other demonstrations are from up and coming duos like Hudson Taylor or the increasingly average James Bay….

Discovery of the Week: King of Cats

Music is a strange thing. The music industry will tell you that to get somewhere you’ve got to have the “right look” or the “perfect voice”. We all know that’s not what it’s about, obviously, it’s about the music. It’s…
