B Magazine, Chanun Poomsawai, Published on 09/02/2020
» "When I was 18/ Someone got stabbed in a church/ But I got used to it/ And forgave all the ways and the names/ It was so long ago, anyways," vocalist Jeremy Gaudet recounts on Murder In The Cathedral, the opening track to Kiwi Jr.'s debut album, Football Money. The vivid songwriting, buoyed by his bandmates' jangly instrumentation, is delivered with the kind of drawl that would have you thinking fondly of Pavement's Stephen Malkmus and The Strokes as well as the Modern Lovers' Jonathan Richman and Parquet Courts' Andrew Savage.

The poem, too, has struck a chord with rising Dublin five-piece The Murder Capital and gone on to inspire their eponymous debut studio album rooted firmly in art-rock and post-punk traditions.

Recalling her past life
B Magazine, Chanun Poomsawai, Published on 10/02/2019
» While much has already been discussed about the 2016's viral YouTube video in which super producer Pharrell Williams became visibly in awe of singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers and her demo of Alaska, Williams' organic reaction never gets tiring to watch. It's pure, genuine and far more emotional than any of the today's TV singing competitions could ever hope to elicit. And, thanks to that very video, Rogers has garnered well-deserved attention, amassed a sizeable fanbase, and struck a record deal with Capitol Records -- all in just over a year.

Hanging up her dancing shoes
B Magazine, Chanun Poomsawai, Published on 02/02/2014
» In the video clip for Spiller's Groovejet (If This Ain't Love), nothing could have been more striking than the presence of British songstress Sophie Ellis-Bextor who, while riding in a tuk-tuk through the streets of Bangkok, provided her cool and sophisticated vocals to the Italian DJ/producer's one hit wonder. It wasn't long after the global success of Groovejet before Ellis-Bextor went on to release an excellent solo album, Read My Lips.
