Ok so it’s the 8th December and we’re well on our way to Christmas. For the next three weeks new music monday will be all about the Christmas song. It’s doubtful these songs will be new to you, but to mix it up a little I have three top threes for you. Hopefully featuring a least one you might not have heard. Today is my … Continue reading Step Into a Christmas
The Decemberists seemed an appropriate choice for today. It was either them or a Christmas song and I’m feeling it’s still a touch earlier for that. These guys are a five piece indie folk band from America. I found this track browsing the new indie track playlist on Spotify. I admit the name drew me in. It reminds me of 90’s indie, all melancholy but … Continue reading Make You Better
What’s better than a little bit funk unfused electro pop to cheer us all up on a Monday. This put a smile on my face and a spring in my step so I thought it was perfect to share on such a dull day. Can’t beat a bit of 80’s prince infused pop every now and then. Meanwhile, a completely ungoogleable name btw, is Tom Andrews … Continue reading Icarus
These guys got me with their cool name, Lion Babe. They’re twosome Jillian Harvey and Lucas Goodman. I loved their first track which was out a whole year ago! Finally there’s a follow up. Any track that features Childish Gambino I know I’m going to like. Add in a Nina Simone sample and I’m sold. This is a forerunner to an EP which promises to … Continue reading Jump Hi
When you love indie rock as much as me this new Coasts track can’t help but grab your attention. It has a definite hint of two of my favourites Twin Atlantic and The 1975. These guys hail from Bristol and have been going for a few years now and this track itself isn’t exactly new. It was released earlier this year before getting a little … Continue reading A Rush of Blood
I didn’t have a music monday planned for today, I was too busy baking all day yesterday! This morning I heard Pharrell on the radio though and he recommended this guy in passing. I’ve loved Pharrell since his Neptune days so when he recommends someone my ears perk up. Quick search on soundcloud brought up Raury’s debut album Indigo Child, released digitally at the beginning … Continue reading God’s Whisper
Elliphant is a super cool, Swedish singer and rapper. She burst onto the scene in Dec 2012 with her first single Down on Life; notably bigged up by Ms Perry herself on Twitter ‘one of the most bad ass music videos I’ve seen in a long time’. Bad ass indeed and exactly why I love her. Since then she collaborated with a host of people … Continue reading One More
I came across Esco Williams via BBC Introducing, just as the name suggests it introduces you to lots of unsigned artists. I heard this track on Greg James show but ive since found this amazing live version from Reading a Festival this year. Esco is from Liverpool, he may be young but he is already a dynamic artist. He has the sound of old Skool … Continue reading Oh Jordan
The Night VI crept onto my radar earlier this year with their single Sienna. I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t feature them as I instantly loved it. Anyway they released a new track Drops last week, a cover of the Jungle track, and popped back into my head so I though better late than never. This little Anglo-French six piece have been on the … Continue reading Sienna/Drops
So I may have been a little preoccupied with Barcelona travel guides and holiday clothes over the weekend to write up my new music monday post. This little track from Irish artist Hozier and I’ve been in love with for a while. Its already been a massive hit in his native Ireland and I heard it online some where a few months ago. This morning I … Continue reading Take me to Church
