Feign Jima: Funny How Things Turn Out

- Classic sounds pervade the new EP from Melbourne singer-songwriter Feign Jima. The project of Jamie-Lee Fanning is relaxed in its pace, but emotive, taking its time to luxuriate in the complex emotions between people. You know, as far back as I can remember there’s been complex, awkward, downright vexing relations among folks everywhere, which may explain some of the timeless quality of this record and a little of the gentle irony in the title, Funny How Things Turn Out.

Alexisonfire: Otherness

<p><span><span>- Please bear with me through the course of this review as I try to separate the deep sentimentality I have for Alexisonfire<strong> </strong>and my desire to put together an objective review. It’ll cause some cognitive dissonance as we go along because truly, they have been one of my favourite bands for a very long time.
