NIGHTWORKS, ERAL ALKAN, CHRIS MALINCHAK, SWITCH & LONDON GRAMMAR
March 23rd, 2013 by admin
NIGHT WORKS + ERAL ALKAN EQUALS NIICCCEEEE. Possibly a slightly clumsy analysis but I normally associate Eral with peaktime sonic goodness, often of a very loud in your face variety. His reworking of ‘Long Forgotten Boy’ shows how inaccurate that mental assumption is, this is an absolutely blissful, give me a hug I love you [...]

SUNLESS 97, INDIANA & WOODKID
March 8th, 2013 by admin
This would be the moment at which I grovel about my recent blogging lameness and then look back over the last two months. Ranting on about how FOALS have done it again or how I can’t believe Bowie has still got it, but we never look back on Brand Nu so I will not [...]

BONDAX, KILO KISH, SUSANNA SUNDFOR & ALEX MILLS
December 29th, 2012 by admin
BONDAX have got singer de jour KILO KISH on their latest production ‘It’s You’, it works. Here laid back vocal style perfectly complimenting their relaxed almost syncopated beats. On a different and yet simultaneously slightly similar vibe have you checked out SUSANNA SUNDFOR before? A friend of mine tipped me off to ‘White Foxes’ which [...]

GORGON CITY, TOM ODELL & KAPPA GAMMA
December 2nd, 2012 by admin
The GORGON CITY REMIX of Clean Bandit’s ‘Nightingale’ is right up my electronic avenue. Sounding totally 2012 but also with more than a hint of Sarf Landan ‘98 it’s got the groove, it’s got the swagger and it’s got the aloofness of that hottie who keeps ignoring you. I saw TOM ODELL live last week, [...]

NADINE SHAH, SEASFIRE & PEACE
November 25th, 2012 by admin
‘We Will Wake’ by SEASFIRE is one of those rousing anthemic tunes which currently makes me feel great everytime I hear it, but with the potential to ‘turn’ (by which I mean I could end up hating it in six months time). For now the love is strong leaving me feeling warm and fuzzy inside [...]

LCMDF, JULIO BASHMORE, HOT CREATIONS & ALI LOVE
October 31st, 2012 by admin
Female fronted French bands could be my new favourite thing, following Hyphen Hyphen a few weeks back I’m getting hyped about LCMDF (Le Corps Mince de Francoise), the only problem with the theory is that LCMDF are actually Finish. Female fronted European bands could be my new fav… ‘I Go Insane’ is part of LCMDF’s [...]

DAPHNI, COS BER ZAM, JACOB BANKS and BIGKids
October 17th, 2012 by admin
Could good pop music be on the way back? I hear the green shoots of recovery with authentic singer songwriters like JAKE BUGG invading the Top 10, friends turning off the radio when the latest piece of bastardised Electro Pop comes on not to mention the return of individuals who like and sound like pop [...]

TOTALLY ENORMOUS EXTINCT DINOSAURS, YES YOU & ANGEL HAZE
September 28th, 2012 by admin
A lot of love for TOTALLY ENORMOUS EXTINCT DINOSAURS here at Brand Nu HQ, not that you’d know it from the amount of times I get ‘extinct’ and ‘enormous’ the wrong way round, not to mention the amount of times I spell dinosaurs dinosaws. My lame SPG misleads thee, love his work and latest [...]

KILO KISH, BOYZ NOIZE & THE XX
September 19th, 2012 by admin
“It’s been on constant repeat” is such a cliché but with KILO KISH’s ‘Navy’ it’s totally true, the last 48 hours little else has had a look around the world of my ears. It sounds nothing like it but my reaction to this track is similar to when I first heard ‘Thou Shall Always…’ by [...]

AYANNA, ILLUM SPHERE & CORIN TUCKER
September 15th, 2012 by admin
I was fortunate to experience an incredible artist live the other night, AYANNA isn’t just a singer, a pianist or cellist, she is a musical innovator. This was a gig that had me in awe not just of the songs and the performance, but the unique ways in which they were conceived and delivered. [...]
