30 Aug 2010Grum – Through The Night (Vimeo)
Being traditionally late to the party, here is the video for Grum’s latest single.
I think out of all the artists I’ve looked at on this website, Grum probably takes the biscuit for the least appealing name. I mean, really. Grum. It sounds like a maudlin car from a kid’s TV [...]
If you’re reading this blog (and unless this is being dictated to you, which would be amazing, you probably are) then you’re probably a connoisseur of the finer things in life. And when I say finer things, I mean music so good it makes you feel a bit nice inside.
With that in mind, you may well already [...]

25 Aug 2010David’s Lyre – Tear Them Down (Youtube)
Here is the new video by the hot new artist David’s Lyre. It’s actually quite good. No, I don’t know what that ’s is about either but let’s just run with it for now.
It sounds a bit like Empire of the Sun, and that is a good thing as [...]

24 Aug 2010Bag Raiders – Way Back Home (Youtube)
Well, what do we have here? It’s only a brand new Bag Raiders track! And what’s more, is it it’s very good. So that’s nice.
The Australian type duo made a very good song two years ago in the shape of Shooting Star which, you may be interested to know, [...]

23 Aug 2010of Montreal – Coquet Coquette (Youtube)
Ah, isn’t it lovely to have of Montreal back and making their peculiar brand of slightly off-kilter alternative agit-pop? Yes, it is. I wasn’t really asking a question there.
That said, compared to their back catalogue this is a great deal more accessible with some very enjoyable guitars, and only a [...]
Remember when Simian Mobile disco did that amazing Audacity of Huge tune? Man, I do! You couldn’t move for it last summer (if you were in my house and listening to my iPod). Anyway, those SMD types are back with something entirely darker and you get to have a download entirely gratis.
It’s not exactly the [...]

19 Aug 2010Yeasayer – Madder Red (Youtube)
Here is the video for Madder Red by the popular beat combo Yeasayer. It is rather perculiar.
I’ve already written about this particular slice of noise over in my Pile of Promos post for last week, where I also made it my single of the week. And yes, that is a a [...]
So then, to a review of what for me is the most anticipated album of 2010.
Ever since grabbing my attention with Photoshop Handsome all the way back towards the beginning of last year, I’ve been keeping close tabs on the progress of the Newcastle/Channel Islands/Kent originating but Manchester based popular beat combo Everything Everything, and [...]

17 Aug 2010Fang Island – Daisy (Youtube)
This lot are a bit bloody good, aren’t they? I’m late to the party, seeing as how I only heard this lot yesterday while working on Steve Lamacq’s show at 6 Music, but I’m already hooked.
The guitars, the vocals, the everything – it’s got something of the epic about it. It’s [...]
It’s Friday again, which means I’ve had a rummage through the musicy parts of the internet to come up with a track that you can download for free, listen to and enjoy. I’m basically kicking Friday 13th in the face at this stage – there’s too much music of listenable quality for anyone to consider themselves unlucky.
Today’s [...]
