» Let's be frank, bands like Metronomy are hard to come by these days. Call us myopic, but we honestly can't think of any up-and-coming groups who would be savvy enough to come up with classic indie jams like A Thing For Me, The Look, The Bay and Everything Goes My Way. A knack for blending eclectic genres seems to come naturally to the UK quartet, a gift that served them especially well from 2008's Nights Out through to 2014's Love Letters.

Which brings me to drummer-turned-piano virtuoso Eiko Ishibashi, a celebrated Japanese musician who, thanks to US-based label Drag City, is getting her releases outside of her native Japan.

» If one was lucky enough to have lived in Paris while young, wrote Ernest Hemingway, the city would remain with you for the rest of your life. Humphrey Bogart echoed the sentiment with that classic movie line from the closing frames of Casablanca. "We'll always have Paris," Rick, his character, tells the woman he will never see again. And even Art Buchwald, the humour columnist, weighed in, titling his charming memoir I'll Always Have Paris.
