Album Rankings for 2015

Another year, another list of albums with hyperlinks to ones I bothered to write about and ones that I listened to, rated and then either had no intention of reviewing or lost momentum to.

A Few Words on... Christopher Owens - Chrissybaby Forever

One can't fault the output of former Girls' frontman Christopher Owens, who, despite being involved in one of the more tragic break-ups of a band, has kept himself busy. Even after quiet release of America and hints towards more music with Selfish Feelings, I didn't expect much more but was thrilled when the news broke of a new album with sixteen tracks to boot!

A Few Words on... Christopher Owens - A New Testament

Last year; Christopher Owens proved he could survive beyond Girls' break-up with his debut album/faux soundtrack Lysandre, even if the album was a relative step down from Girls' previous near-faultless releases.

A Few Words on... Grant Nicholas - Yorktown Heights

Another week, another well established frontman goes solo with an stripped back, acoustic folk debut, this time being Feeder's Grant Nicholas, with an album that I was half tempted to copypasta my review of Charlie Simpson's album and see if anyone noticed.

Christopher Owens - Lysandre Review

One of last year’s biggest musical casualties was the break-up of Girls. No, not the TV show. No, not the gender itself. Rather, the indie-rock darlings that had the lead singer who sounds like Randy Newman and music that takes more than a fair nod from sixties and seventies’ rock and roll.
