Cynthia Weil (1940 – 2023) “You just have to believe in yourself when you've got something, and just keep pounding on the door, because if you pound long enough, somebody is going to open it.”

Bully

"‘Days Move Slow’ is pristine Bully – sparking pop, but also working with a seismic edge… Retaining the anthemic bite she’s become known for, the sessions adding aspects of shoegaze, punk, and late 90s British guitar pop.” — Clash

“‘Days Move Slow’ is a punchy but poignant tune, an energetic and honest exploration of grief that Bully’s Alicia Bognanno wrote after the death of her dog, Mezzi.” — Rolling Stone

“‘Lose You’ attempts to reckon with the idea that even a love that seems like it’ll last forever isn’t necessarily immortal. Taking cues from late ’80s and ’90s shoegaze pioneers, the track is driven by a steadily, thumping beat that backdrops Bognanno’s fuzzed-out guitars: “Either way I’m gonna lose you,” she and Allison lament in harmony, before a ripper of a guitar solo near the song’s end.”  — Consequence
 

Depeche Mode

"As always with Depeche Mode, everything counts in large amounts, and on Memento Mori, the stakes feel bigger than ever." — Rolling Stone

'Memento Mori, their 15th album, is their most powerful work this century.' — Uncut

'There's warmth in the album's fusion of industrial grind with delicate melody...'for a record preoccupied with death, its big heart bursts with life' — The Observer
