Plan B
Issue 18 Herman Dune / Joanna Newsom/ Danielson

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Herman Dune Swedish troubadours Herman Dune sing of crushes, cities, love, loss and the cute ghostly wonderment of life - and all in Everett True's living room.

The Monks They dressed like Benedictine brothers, worshipped guitar feedback and freaked out the teenieboppers of Sixties Germany with dissonant pop songs about war and obsession. Now the subject of documentaries, comeback tours and tribute albums, it's fair to say if cult 'uberbeat' group The Monks didn't exist, we would have had to invent them...

Danielson With a career-best record and a movie unveiling their first decade, it's time to ditch the media mythology and accept Danielson for who and what they are.

Joanna Newsom The singular world of Joanna Newsom - harpist, singer and composer of an American classic.
