Tough Crowd

The fine folks at Tough Crowd have dropped their Spring/Summer 2010 issue. Featured interviews with Untold, Jessica Penfold, Fuck Buttons, Owen Hatherley and Laura Oldfield Ford are the highlights. The magazine a well fused dose of antics and I was happy to contribute album reviews for Liars, Broken Bells and Pavement for the issue.

Read the issue online, or pick up a copy if you're in the London (UK) area.

An Excerpt

"Accustomed to the quieter aspects of life, she turned to its tumultuous parts. She loved the sea only for the sake of its storms, and the green only when it was scattered among ruins. She had to gain some personal profit from things and she rejected as useless whatever did not contribute to the immediate satisfaction of her heart's desires– being of temperament more sentimental than artistic, looking for emotions, not landscapes."
