ALBUM REVIEW: MATT HELDERS - Late Night Tales

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Late Night Tales: Matt Helders from The Arctic Monkeys
(Azuli)
4/5

Arctic Monkeys’ drummer Matt Helders is also a DJ, and he’s got good taste in hip hop: Ty, Roots Manuva and DOOM (under alias Viktor Vaughn), for example. He still somehow manages to get The Stooges in there (Dirt). And mixing The Coral’s Grey Harpoon with I Got 5 On It by Luniz, is definitely a cool thing. Matt’s own effective breakbeat cover version of Livin’ Joy’s Dreamer is also a winner. Other standout tracks include Charity Shop Soundclash by DJ Format & Aspects, and Mos Def’s Ms Fat Booty.
