Sarah Mary Chadwick Shares New Album Me & Ennui Are Friends, Baby Annabel Kean / Friday 5th February, 2021 2:01PM
Sarah Mary Chadwick has written a flawless Valentine s album:
Me & Ennui Are Friends, Baby. A little less dramatic than the one she played on a 147 year-old grand organ, this record is just Chadwick, a normal piano, and her usual, inimitable lyrics.
Me & Ennui Are Friends, Baby is the last in a three-part project, preceded by LPs
Please Daddy, and judging by its availability on floss pink vinyl and Chadwick s cherry red nails on the cover, this is clearly the most romantic of the trio. From the touching line
Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl is a) one of the nicest rock stars that ever lived and b) the former drummer in Nirvana. These two facts seem to make it difficult for people to be critical of Foo Fighters. His bandâs 10th album, which Grohl has said was designed to be âan up, fun recordâ, loads many of popâs broadest tropes into a paint-gun, then splatters them over the groupâs arena-filling rock.
Foo Fightersâ hotly-anticipated 10th album doesnât quite hit the mark for reviewer Barry Divola.

Julia Stone featuring Matt Berninger – We All Have
For fans of: Damian Rice, the National, Taylor Swift gone folk
Julia Stone’s first solo album in eight years has been recorded piecemeal since 2015 with various collaborators, including St Vincent. As a result, the four singles we have heard so far all sound wildly different, with an ethereal production wash being the only binding element. We All Have is the most beautiful to date, a sparse ballad with minimal piano and finger-picked guitar accompanying Stone’s chirping baby-bird harmonies. Matt Berninger from the National takes verse two, his solemn baritone the perfect counter, before the pair combine for the chorus. It’s all over and done in two and a half minutes but it leaves a lasting, calming impression – a lovely ode to the impermanence of everything.
