It’s Monday, it’s cold, it’s wet and generally pretty rubbish. So how about some 80’s infused synth pop to brighten up your day? Say hello to Lucy Taylor aka Pawws. This track sounds all sweet and demur but there’s something a little more cutting hiding in the lyrics. Basically it’s fab. Hope it’s cheered up your monday. Continue reading Turnaround
I found these guys yesterday when my hangover was so bad all I could do was lie in a darkened room with some soft music. I miss the hangovers of my twenties. Anyway, Oh Wonder, are a duo from London. They have been releasing tracks on the first of the month for 6months now so I’m a little slow on the uptake with this one. … Continue reading Lose It
My new girl crush and I’ve only heard this one track, when it’s this good though it’s enough. Chloe Black was born in Australia and raised in LA and Paris, enough to me me suitably jealous on its own. When you mix in major musical talent, I’m fan girling all over the place. Not only does Ms Black have cool Lana-esque vocal, the comparison is … Continue reading 27 Club
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
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
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
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
