Live Review: CAAN @ Dingwalls

CAAN live at Dingwalls, London (31 May '12) // Words: Saam Das

Arriving at Dingwalls in Camden (which, compared to the bustling recent Camden Crawl, proved a much more pleasant experience!) evoked fond memories of our little Joe Bloggers gig around about a year ago. If we were helping out with the same thing now, we may well have asked CAAN to play. And, on this evidence, it would be a wise decision.

Singles: October 2011

Words: Saam Das

I've listened to at least 100 tracks to compile this list of my top ten singles of October. I could have saved myself the bother and simply declared Lana Del Rey the winner for her widely acclaimed 'Video Games' single. Except we were emailed about her last May and didn't think she was particularly amazing. And still don't. Yet. So instead check out ten other artists who we think are more worthy of your time below.

Surfacing: Caan

Words: Saam Das

Ou Est Le Swimming Pool tragically and abruptly came to an end last year, following frontman Charles Haddon's suicide. Aside from the smashing single 'Dance The Way I Feel', I never quite got into their brand of synth-pop. Caan is the new project of former Ou Est Le Swimming Pool member Caan Copan, unveiling a more serene synth-pop sound. Listen to the gloriously hypnotic new single 'Now Hear This My Friends' below.
