As I’ve said many times, all the best music is in commericals these days. My current favourite is Julie Doiron’s Life of Dreams from the iphone commerical with all the families. It would be cheating to simply share that track though wouldn’t it, you can find it here though. Through that I discovered Ms Dorion, prolific Candian singer songwriter. She’s been on the go since the … Continue reading Cars and Trucks
Broods are a band I’ve loved for a while now. This New Zealand brother and sister duo came to my attention with Never Gonna Change at the tail end of last year. This track is as good if not better. Perhaps it’s just because I can relate to the lyrics in this. It may be about leaving home, something I did I long time who … Continue reading Mother and Father
What do we know about LANY? Not a lot, above is the only photo I could find and you can’t even see their faces. They’re three guys from LA who made an impressive debut with their previous singles Walk Away and Hot Lights. They are back now with two acronym named songs, gotta get down with the kids folks. This one is my favourite, I’m … Continue reading ILYSM
Jake Isaac hails from South London and he not excatly new music, this track has been around for a few months. I’ve only just discovered it though and thought I’d share it. I think you all know how much I love George Ezra and Mr Isaac embraces that stomping folk beat sound in this track. Within the first few beats you’ll be tappng your feet, I … Continue reading Long Road
On Saturday I got tickets for this years T in the Park, so excited! After the amazing time I had last year I was desperate to go again this year. I struggled to talk anyone into going with me though, everyone being skint or put of by the high chance of rain. I managed to talk my mate into a day ticket eventually though. I’m … Continue reading Heart and Soul
Seinabo Sey is a Swedish pop soul singer who came to my attention last year with her track Younger. Younger was produced by Magnus Lidehäll who created Mapei’s Don’t Wait which I featured a few weeks ago; so no surprise it caught my attention. Last month she realised this new track which has a different feel to it. There’s a definite hint of Mary J … Continue reading Hard Time
I’ve been meaning to feature Eliza and the Bear on New Music Monday for a while now, somehow they have been overlooked. At the weekend I heard their track Friends belting out of my TV as the soundtrack to a Sky Movies advert, so I thought it was about time. This is in fact the song which introduced me to the band withe that great hook … Continue reading Brother’s Boat
You know I’m a total sucker for a band from my hometown, well these guys aren’t quite from Glasgow but Kilmarnock is pretty close. I heard a track from them last week and I’ve been listening to their abum. I Am and Island, all weekend. Your quintessential rock/indie four peice with two guiatrists, a bassest and a drummer. They create wonderful anthemnic tunes which are just begging to be … Continue reading I Like Not Knowing
I had a funky track all lined up for today’s new music Monday, but I spent the weekend watching sport and last night drinking cocktails and didn’t write it up, doh! So here’s a little bit of Paolo instead. I absolutely love him and have done since I first heard, Last Request. His new album is nothing short of brilliant. I’ve been listening to it … Continue reading Numpty
This weekend was positively summery, I was even out without a jacket on Friday night and sunday afternoon. So this little snippet of sunshine has drawn me to summery little tunes and I came across Mapei. Born in Rhode Island she split her youth between summers at home and school Stockholm. There coolness of Stockholm definitely shines through in her tracks. She was orginally a rapper releasing … Continue reading Don’t Wait
