Quick observations, totally unrelated, on music ranging from the humble to the extravagant. Atlas Sound wheeze in ramshackle blues, though I prefer it when he whirls into the hypnotic, as he does, occasionally, on this lo-fi trip. Trying to avoid Kanye West is hard work and I don't want to dish the praise, he might get big-headed. But I'm still loving 808s & Heartbreak, so self-obsessed, why is it so moving? Anyhow, monumental ship arrives, fireworks shoot, super-store cash registers open. Brash stuff, and here goes, alright then, sometimes-Monster, Runaway-undeniably astonishing.
