Black English (NO) - Manchester Cathedral - 24th September 2014

Black English are one of America's best-kept musical secrets.  They're the sort of band that the NME and London press fawn over as the next great import, except they, like Milo Greene, would actually be worthy of the hype were it to come their way.  They're out on a rare UK trip supporting Yann Tiersen and we caught them at Manchester Cathedral.

NO - El Prado - album review

NO - El Prado (Arts And Crafts)

CD / Download / Vinyl (released April) 

Released 18th February 

It seems a long time since NO's excellent Don't Worry You'll Be Here Forever EP, released late in 2011, and a follow-up single What's Your Name, but as El Prado clearly demonstrates it's been time well spent perfecting their debut album El Prado.
