Gengahr – Powder
Wow, I have really neglected this blog recently. My sincerest apologies! This is the latest track from London based Gengahr, who according to their Facebook page have only been together […]

Safe to say I was more than a little excited when Alt-J announced yesterday that they would be releasing their new album, This Is All Yours, in September. This is […]
So this has been going round my head for the past 24 hours, and I feel obliged to post something considering as I have neglected this blog for the past […]
I recently posted about Bastard Mountain, a collective that features Rory Sutherland; Broken Records is his other band and I’m very pleased I was directed to them. They’ve just streamed their […]
Listening to new track Hesitate, it’s hard to believe that Hockeysmith consists of just two sisters. Their sound is HUGE – staticky bass lines and fleeting synths fight for centre-stage […]
Apologies for the lack of posts on here recently. It’s exam time approaching soon, and I’d told myself that I wouldn’t get caught up with blogging and the like for […]
I don’t think I can actually portray my love for Wolf Alice. From their initial folky roots to their polished indie-rock of today, they get better and better with every […]
This song is crazy – but in a very good way. tUnE-yArDs (otherwise known as Merrill Garbus) have released a new track, and if there was ever a song to make […]
Finding a new track from Sharon Van Etten made me very happy this weekend. After the critical success of 2012’s Tramp, she has evolved into one of the most dominant […]
Anyone who knows me will be aware of my appreciation for the twisted, sinister stories spun by Nick Cave’s lyrics, so to find a track that emulates this kind of […]
I was directed to this song by Alt-J’s Facebook page, and given that Hundred Waters have previously toured with Alt-J, that should give you some indication of what to expect […]
This song (songs?) is so intriguing. It’s almost cold, yet still appears to remain strangely upbeat in places. Alta, the short intro track, focuses directly on Jess Weiss’ flawless, whimsical […]
Foster The People are back with a new single and their long-awaited second album, Supermodel, due for release in March. After the surprise cult success of Torches, Mark Foster has […]
A nice little punky gem to lighten the mood. The Cleveland trio Cloud Nothings are bringing out a new album, Here and Nowhere Else, in April and this track is […]
I have so much respect for St Vincent. It’s only recently that I’ve started properly immersing myself in her music, but I’m bowled over by her musical ability and the […]
After the inevitable disbandment of “heavy-pop” four piece WU LYF, it’s pleasing to see that the members are continuing to churn out new music in one form or another. Frontman Ellery […]
So as 2013 draws to a close, I thought I would round up some of what I thought were the best records released this year. There were some surprises, some […]
I will admit I was a little wary when I first clicked play on this song. Generally for me, guitar > electronics. That’s not to say I don’t like the […]
I was contacted this week by Irish newcomers Slow Riot, who are making melancholy post-punk sounds that are very very similar to one of my favourite recent bands, Blaenavon. Their […]
This track originally featured on Keaton Henson’s mournful and beautifully crafted album Birthdays, which came out earlier this year. The official video was released a few months back, but this […]
