Not something you see often nowadays, just got a few copies of Billy Mahonie's ultra limited lathe-cut LP in. With just 100 of these babies available you be forgiven for ignoring my review and going straight to the 'add to my cart' icon before the limited supplies are snapped up. For those of you unfamiliar with Billy Mahonie, they are one of the last surviving remnants (along with Souvaris) of a previously flourishing UK post-rock scene. Their style being slightly more accessible than the bands that came before them, BM did pretty well back at the end of the 90's and into the noughties. Now down to a two piece, these new BM compositions are sparsely arranged, incredibly light and dreamy tunes. Musically it's all sweet melodies and soft touches with Howard Monk's bamboo sticks and the lo-fi nature of the recording giving these tunes an early Fridge feel. Obviously it sounds a bit odd due to it being a lathe cut that won't concern any Billy Mahonie fans out there as BM Hearts BM is an essential selection for long time fans and post-rock newcomers alike.

Finally after a long LONG wait the first 50! yes 50 of the BM release have arrived.
