Our Take

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and witness the spectacular celebration of four decades of iconic indie label 4AD with "Bills & Aches & Blues." This compilation album features a diverse range of artists covering classics from the label's extensive catalogue, and boy, does it deliver.

From acoustic ballads to experimental electronic tracks, there's something for everyone on this record. The opening track, "The Nightingales - Where I'm Going," sets the tone with its haunting vocals and ethereal atmosphere. It's a mesmerizing start to an album that never fails to surprise and delight.

One standout track is "The Breeders - Dirt Eaters," a reimagining of the band's hit song with a fresh twist that showcases their enduring talent. And who can forget the dreamy "Beck - The Night Bell With Lightning," a mesmerising blend of folk and psychedelic rock that transports you to another realm.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Bills & Aches & Blues." The haunting beauty of "Kurt Vile- Hey Like Spring" serves as a reminder of the darker, more introspective side of 4AD's legacy. It's a poignant moment that cuts straight to the soul.

In conclusion, "Bills & Aches & Blues" is a must-listen for any music lover looking to dive into the rich tapestry of indie music history. So grab your headphones, press play, and let the magic of 4AD wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
