The Hundred In The Hand

The Hundred In The Hand, the name rings a bell right? i can't figure it out either. anyway, with their dreamy and warm sounds, the new single "Sleepwalkers" has such a danceable beat, reminding me of Asobi Seksu and Memory Tapes. really looking forward to hearing the full length out on Warp Records later this year

KLAXONS

so what does every body think? it reminds me of them, it seems like a natural progression. i just don't think it's gonna be as big as anything from the first album, it'll be interesting to see whats next

enjoy?

Sage Francis

don't really know why or how i've havent heard Sage Francis before, but word needs to be spread! this guy is awesome, with sounds similar but less country than buck 65. working with Saul Williams, Yann Tiersen and on his 9th album, he has a solid legacy. selling out his first UK date in less than 2 days, this guy will be blowing up shortly

here's "The Best Of Times" for you

LEFT THE ROOM

Yer i know it has been about for an age but for some reason this week I have it on repeat. I think it has to do with the FOUR reloads it got in Manchester on Thursday.

This Weekend

some of us are off to The Great Escape in Brighton, well all the FREE TING guys are, and they're holding a Party in The Penthouse, Upstairs at The Freebutt on Phoenix Place. SATURDAY 15th. Gonna be crazy, playing along side will be Angry Dance Party, Milk Teeth and The Murkage Cartel! i'm actually gutted that i'm not gonna be there, and i'll be missing out on the festival in general, but i am at ATP so its not all bad

what ever you do this weekend, make sure you get messy!

Always practise safe daggering!

LCD Soundsystem

FIRS

Firs - Whale in the Night from Pete Ohs on Vimeo.

so i think i'm in love with the Ohio music scene...i think this is now my 4th or 5th post on a band from the state... i havent been stalking i promise! BUT ANYWAY, FIRS, they're great! their warm tones and mono keyboard sounds are just dreamy and charming. the video for the song "Whale In The Night" is loads of fun, its cut and paste stylings really suit the band, it just makes me smile

check out "Welcome Home"

enjoy, with sun and maybe a cold cider

javelin

Javelin are this hiphop lo fi indie old school sounding 2 piece from Brooklyn. i was lucky enough to catch them at SXSW this year, and live they did not disappoint, almost over sold the experience to me! good summer time vibes coming off this, a must for every BBQ

check out "Susie Cues"

young buffalo

catchy and infectious, i really can't stop listening to Young Buffalo. easy to compare to likes of Local Natives and other "new" bands that are using the vocal harmony and afro beat sound, but there's just something about these guys that puts them just a bit above the rest

check out "it's in Linens"

Diane Cluck

so i was in the pub the other day with friends from The Sans Pareil and The Train Chronicles, and we were all talking about new alt country artists we've heard, and literally all at the same time said Diane Cluck. she has this unconventional sound you can just get lost in, like a scary dated italian horror film. its just beautiful. Can't wait to see her when she visits the UK

enjoy

CD IS DEAD

New single from JME an TEMPA T.

Tinashé

theres this kid called Tinashé, i can't decide if i like what he's doing or not, but the one thing i do know is there's a remix floating about of his single "Zambezi" by Fool's Gold, and i LOVE IT

Past Adventures - DARK PARTY / Sat 10th Apr / AFRIKAN BOY

Dominique Young Unique

check out "War Talk"

enjoy

Future Trends

Future Trends is this solo minimal layered electronica project from ohio student Andrew Clark. covered in warmth, Future Trends songs do get quiet addictive, hence some media attention from NME and LOBF
