Where Only The Truth Is Spoken is out now on MLVLTD. Get y...

Matt Berninger's excellent second solo album Get Sunk follows a slow exit from a serious depression where he couldn't get out of bed. Written on baseballs, deconstructed bedposts and anything else he could write lyrics on, the National singer writes songs like he's painting a picture. Once a graphic designer during the dot-com bubble in New York, he was going to formative gigs by The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio and Th...

Working Men's Club's Sydney Minsky Sargeant puts out his debut album Lunga this Friday. The album was written around the track 'Lisboa', which while written years ago carries so much weight for Syd that he needed to eventually get it out his system. The whole album is ace, and is from a more mellow direction than the harshness of WMC. Here we hear about the importance of accessible music in Britain, small town gentrification and t...

Famed for starting a Doors covers band to supplement income performing their own music, Field Music's David Brewis says it shouldn't come as a surprise. Despite sharing rehearsal spaces with 2000's mainstream indie bands The Futureheads and Maximo Park, the Brewis brothers had no interest in pleasing anyone else; only making music for themselves. Coming up to 20 years since their debut album, the Sunderland trio have nearly always ...

Tyler Ballgame is a modern savant. On his four released tracks, there's a sweeping melancholy underpinned by the haunting beauty of Roy Orbison or wry-smiled dreamy Harry Nilsson. In this chat, Tyler talks of Shakespeare inspiration, studying songwriting Berkeley but never successfully shaking the idea that he was an outsider, and blagging a job interview that transplanted him on the other side of the country - where he started hi...

If you're not sure what to make of gothic Midsommar clad The New Eves, keep listening. There's the poetic thud of The Velvet Underground and autodidactic brilliance of The Slights, but it's the wide-eyed willingness that makes their first release and debut album The New Eves is rising that makes this Brighton band something very very special. Sat on the seafront, we heard about how imaginative living situations and a myriad of side...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
