29 May 2009Anamanaguchi – Jet Pack Blues, Sunset Hues (Vimeo)
Let me tell you something. It’s past midnight and I have to work tomorrow. I should be asleep. But then I heard this.
I was doing my final trawl through my feeds, when I came across this delightful article about chiptunes music on Kotaku, one of my favourite blogs. [...]

22 May 2009Little Boots – New In Town (Youtube)
The first track I heard by Little Boots was Stuck on Repeat, a fantastic track that I described as I Feel Love being rear-gunned by Popcorn. New material has slowly been trickling out, and after the stomp of Meddle it’s hard to think of a better song to follow [...]

21 May 2009Golden Silver – Arrows of Eros (Youtube)
There’s a few adjectives you could use to describe Golden Silvers, but I’m going to go with relentlessly funky and infectiously catchy. If this song doesn’t take over your summer, I’ll be very surprised.
By now you should probably have worked out the kind of music I like – great [...]

18 May 2009So this weekend, I headed off to All Tomorrow’s Parties in Minehead, curated by The Breeders. And I had a lovely time.
It’s not exactly that I’m getting old, but the prospect of heading off to another Reading or similar festival really doesn’t appeal any more. Maybe it’s the camping in dust and filth, the constantly [...]

13 May 2009Everything Everything – Photoshop Handsome (Vimeo)
Some of the best music I get into comes from recommendations from friends. This little box of tricks from Everything Everything, a new band out of Manchester here in the UK, was shoved in my face by my good friend Frankie Jetson. (That’s actually her name.) And boy, am I [...]

8 May 2009Silversun Pickups – Panic Switch (Youtube)
At first listen, California’s Silversun Pickups sound like a Smashing Pumpkins rip-off band. Listen closely though, and you’ll find something different – they’ve also ripped off My Bloody Valentine.
Make no mistake though, this is a good thing. Panic Switch is one of any number of tracks from Swoon that could [...]

8 May 2009Tommy Sparks – She’s Got Me Dancing (Youtube)
I wish I understood this video. I really do.
In a song you’ve probably heard a few times on the radio, Stockholm’s finest Tommy Sparks produces one of those tracks that gets in your head and generally refuses to leave.
In the same sort of Scandinavian pop theme of Alphabeat [...]

1 May 2009Passion Pit – The Reeling (Youtube)
Just a quick one today – this track is all over the radio and deservedly so. Taken from their upcoming album Manners it’s a fun slice of electro indie type gold, and I’m a big fan.
If you like this it’s worth checking out their other EP, Chunk of Change which [...]
