The Heart of the Great Alone »

...Out of Here: The Veterans Project »

Cocktail chemistry »

Edinburgh is in the spotlight. Eat your heart out London; New York do your worst. The number of superior cocktail bars this little city has to offer is enough to keep even the most avid cocktail connoisseur busy. How did it come to pass that Edinbur...

L'Artichaut hearts restraint »

The Three Craws »

Fence Records, like all venerable Scottish institutions, inspires a fair degree of pontificating on its behalf. Widely perceived as the standard-bearers for hyphenated, revivalist folk (see: nu-folk, alt-folk, faux-folk, electro-folk), the predominant ...

Versus: Found, eagleowl, Oates Field »

Live ‘duels’ have been a staple of the hip-hop scene for decades, yet rarely has the format transcended the boundaries of electronic, turntable-based genres. This is perhaps for good reason: technical restrictions dictate that it's far easi...

War and Peace »

Last week saw the opening of Rita McAllister’s revision of Prokofiev’s War and Peace into its original, intended format. The story goes that Soviet meddling left the opera bastardised and less human: tonight, we are told, the integrity of t...

Chew Lips »

My Tiny Robots, tonight's nominated preamble, are an appropriate act to kick things off, if only in name. The Leith ensemble give a rather awkward and self-conscious account of themselves, switching between instruments—guitars, bass, synth, drum...

The big kids are alright »

“What I do is a tiny bit weird", claims cult audience-trailing David O' Doherty. "Not everyone’s going to be into it but then hopefully people who are into it, they tell their friends." Critics’ tongues have been wagging since O'Doher...

Georg Baselitz: Retrospective »

One suspects the decision to hold a Baselitz retrospective in Baden-Baden had a lot to do with architecture. The modernist Museum Frieder Burda and its neo-classical partner, the Staatliche Kunsthalle, lie adjacent with one suspended corridor half-hear...

Salt of the Earth »

For an exhibit that for several months was writ large in lights, posters and projections around Chambers Street, Salt of the Earth takes up a surprisingly modest space within the Museum of Scotland. The room is small, dark and imbued with a heathery pu...
