Lo-Fi-Fnk - Want U 2008-10-08 07:44:19 So I'm hungover today and this track is making me feel a little bit sick, but also soothing my aching brow at the same time. Basically it's all about the synths and the bassline. It really is that simple.
Blitzen Trapper - Black River Killer 2008-10-06 11:26:59 The Golden Ratio. Wasn't it Da Vinci who went on about all that? Well, whoever it was, they were right - a few simple chords that fit together in that secret magic way makes those old hairs on the back of your neck stand up - try it for yourself and if it doesn't work then you must be dead inside. Or outside.All you Norf London types make sure you're at 93 Feet East Tuesday 10th October to watch Read more:Black

Calexico - Two Silver Trees 2008-10-06 08:50:05 Either these guys have been hiding under a rock or I have, as they seem to have been around forever but Two SilverTrees
has only just wheedled its way into my iTunes, and good times have since ensued. First thoughts: well, they're only the band U2 could have been aren't they. Weird Chinese noises in the background, and who doesn't love weird Chinese noises in the background? Read more:Calexico
The Bloody Beetroots - Yeah Boy 2008-10-29 06:51:39 Ever wanted to feel like you're in a taiwanese nightclub in the middle of a forest, surrounded by pillheads swaying gently to the sound of psychadelic trance during the middle of the day? Yeah me too, kinda, and now you can join me in the experience. The Bloody Beetroots, Italians of all things, have stepped electro up a notch and I'm moist (in the ethereal sense you understand) at the Horrorist s
Tegan & Sara - Back In Your Head 2008-10-13 04:55:17 Despite the fact these two sound like pornstars, Back In Your Head is one of the best pop tunes I've heard floating round the magic web for a long time. The hook is pretty basic, but you know, simple things for simple people, I put this on and I think yeah, I could do with a cup of tea and a chocolate hobnob.
The Rosebuds - Life Like 2008-10-10 05:40:47 I'd have to admit that I went along with all the hype over Bon Iver - For Emma whatever ago or whatever is a great album. But NOT THIS TIME, oh no, he's piped up again with a remix of Get Up Get Out, not the greatest fan of it to start with, and now with his dulcet tones draped over it I'm still not massively enamoured. Enter Life Like, the opening and title track off the new album and now we're
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Happy Melted City 2008-10-09 09:59:42 Good times, basically. New Black
Moth SuperRainbow
= new getting out of bed and confusing the hell out of yourself by turning on the old iPod and going straight to Artists>BMSR>New Stuff. Happy
Melted City is, in a word, awesome. Takes me back to a simpler time, when Sparklehorse were involved and Johnny Borrell was still at school, keeping out of trouble (or at least out of my face) in physics
DM Stith - Just Once 2008-11-11 06:58:36 Ignore this if you don't like Jeff Buckley. I never used to, so I wouldn't blame you. For everyone else, hi! Sorry I said I didn't used to like Jeff. Hugs? Anyway, old David Michael continues our bleak Tuesday with some crescendoing folk here, violins and all. I've been pondering this for a couple of weeks, and to be honest I'm not even trying to write this - it's just happening. It'll creep up on
Dark Romantics - Heartbreaker 2008-11-11 06:37:09 I know, I know, it's a bit dark for a Tuesday. However, it is sunny in London so maybe you have to listen to this somewhere outside of a darkened padded room for it not to push you over the edge. If you can, enjoy some deep synths and more (yes more!) echoey vocals. I'm telling you, echoes are the future. All together now, she's a... Read more:Heartbreaker

Future Clouds And Radar - The Epcot View 2008-11-06 08:41:55 I'm all for anything echoey. And these guys have definitely taken a pleated approach, albeit to the Beatles. Does it help having a hungover? Not sure, I'll let you know later. All I know right now is echoes are good. Read more:Clouds

Black Hat Brigade - Swords 2008-12-17 04:09:08 You have to give this badboy a chance to get involved, but once it does it's a bit like that time you first listened to Lurghee by Radiohead - while you might not realise exactly at the time, just as it finishes you're like woah hang on a sec. Ontario's Black
Hat Brigade
are just about crawling out of their box, so stay tuned and give them a chance, I reckon their Scottish sounding vocals might ju Read more:Black Hat

Seabear - Libraries 2008-12-08 06:54:52 Hooray for more Scandinavian stuff! This time some Icelandic peeps step up to the plate and aren't we all mighty glad they did. I can imagine, if one lived in Iceland, one would feel a daily overwhelming urge to sing about one or many libraries. You know, calm, happy places. All our London songsters seem to just whine on about how much they want to escape. These guys love it. Bravo! One way ticket Read more:Libraries
The Orion Experience - Obsessed With You 2008-12-04 08:03:45 Not sure if these guys are totally original or just a mash up of loads of different genres and artists. While I decide, here's Obsessed With You, which is basically awesome if not really irritating, which I can imagine it being if you can't be dealing with poppy/hooky/jangly type tunes. I swear I saw them at a wedding one time. Maybe Not. Read more:Orion
Jay Reatard - Always Wanting More 2008-11-27 10:28:27 Hello. Been a while. Onwards - why isn't every Thursday a Garage Punk Thursday? Enter Jay Reatard who's SO hot right now, probably even hotter than Hansel. Anyway - so yeah, the most fun I've had since jumping around to the Holloways downstairs in Rough Trade, Jay has brought a little more old school back into our newfound world of synths. Hang on a second, is that a guitar? I remember those..
