SBTRKT, FUNERAL SUIT plus THE ELECTRIC
November 30th, 2010 by admin
I’m feeling my minimal tunes at the moment, ya know James Blake, Jamie Noon etc Well my latest minimal love is SBTRKT’s ‘Look At Stars’. I think this is a genius piece of music, reflective, evocative, slightly scary. FUNERAL SUITS as a name may not be the greatest stimulator of happy thoughts but the tunes [...]

WINTERSLEEP, HHYMN, PLEASURE plus NO WONDER
November 26th, 2010 by admin
WINTERSLEEP win my ‘most appropriately titled band of the week award’ as well as my ‘most heart-warming make you feel good and snug’ award. On a cold day this is musical hot chocolate of the very highest calibre, ya no like some Swiss Apline shizzle. ‘Weighty Ghost’ is the track.* Not quite as apt lyrically [...]

WILDER, PENGUIN PRISON plus SKY LARKIN
November 23rd, 2010 by admin
WILDER’s ‘Girl v Boys’ has been one of my ‘what is that track’ tracks for a while now, well the riddle has been solved thanks to me finally putting this website called google to use. Once I got passed all the Blur references I stuck gold. I can’t believe I’ve never blogged bout PENGUIN PRISION [...]

YOUNG MONTANA, JOE WORRICKER plus ORPHAN BOY
November 19th, 2010 by admin
Looking for that track to inspire some reflection or get ears perking up during an after party? Let me introduce you my friend to YOUNG MONTANA, forgive me if it’s somewhat clichéd but there is no more apt word in the world to describe ‘Sacre Cool’ than dope. His You Tube may have had a [...]

ADELE, BOYS NOIZE plus THE SPIVS
November 16th, 2010 by admin
The new ADELE track is massive, I know how weird that sounds but the purveyor of musical misery and melancholy has moved things up a gear or ten thousand and busted out an almost Gospel-Esque banger that builds and builds. ‘Rolling In The Deep’, big tune. And is that the Scissor Sisters I hear in [...]

ALEX WINSTON, MILES KANE PLUS ZED BIAS & OMAR
November 9th, 2010 by admin
The stars seem to be aligning for ALEX WINSTON (the new musician not the 90s soft porn model I discovered on google doing my ‘research’). A mate who saw her play in NYC last week tipped me off, checking her myspace it appears she’s already received quite a bit of hype. Quirky voice, top tunes [...]
