Free Com Truise for everyone. FOR EVERYONE.
I have to admit it took me a long time to warm to Com Truise.
As ridiculous as it sounds, the name ‘Com Truise’ put me off for a while. What a shit name, I thought. Don’t want to listen to that, I concluded.
Then I was sent his sparkling début album to review and dag-gummit, it won me over. Just like the Galactic Melt of its title, the record appears at first huge and awkward but slowly melts and floods every inch of your soul. A truly magnificent début that’s made it into my end of year charts and a timely reminder of why you should never judge a book by its gregarious cover.
Anyway, ol’ Com has got a new EP out and to convince you of its merits he’s giving away a rather lovely track from it for FREE. Get it here.
He’s also imminently embarking on a European tour and I will be jealous of any of you who make it to a show.

New Capsule Reviews: FM Belfast, Com Truise, Lee Curtiss
For those of you who don’t know, iDJ magazine folded this summer. Only ten-years young and one of the best dance-music monthlies in the UK, it will leave an unfilled space in newsagents up and down the rainy isles. I used to pen the odd short-review for the magazine and I had three such album reviews that were meant to be in the final issue (which never made it to the presses, I’m lead to believe).
Anyhow, I’ve finally got round to uploading the tit-bit critiques here instead.
