Featured Album Of The Week
Kate Bush – Hounds Of Love
“Most people’s knowledge of Kate Bush comes from either the Futureheads’ ace cover of this album’s title track, or her biggest hit, ‘Wuthering Heights’, and ends there. This is a complete travesty, as anyone who discovers this album for the first time will come to realise.”
“As you would expect from Britain’s most underrated and eccentric daughter, there’s no radio-friendly pop here. She might not have the most angelic voice, but Kate Bush pushes the boundaries more than any artist dares to nowadays. From breath-taking opener ‘Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)’ to the beautiful ‘Under The Ivy’ via the chilling ‘Under Ice’, this LP comes from every angle with subtlety and brilliance. They say there’s a thin line between genius and madness, and somehow both sides of that line are covered here.”
“It might not be particularly ‘cool’ to like her, but fashion is fleeting and true talent is timeless. I love her, and this album fills my boots.” HP
