Rufus
I’ve got some awesome tunes here to calm your wrecked nerves and soothe your post-weekend hangover. Rufus droppped this in my inbox nearly a week back but I was too busy to post this. It’s chilled doped-up dance made for the 3am crowd – what makes this extra special is that the calming spirituality that...
PRINCE CLUB (ex MadKids)
I don’t need to convince you how awesome Zach and Max from MadKids are / were. House of Damon was the tune of 2010 for me and I’ve had their September Mix featured on this blog’s sidebar for months. You can still read the interview I did with them in this post. For some reason...
Breton
Foals has gone kinda chilled now if you recall the Total Life Forever release. Now imagine if they spent time tweaking electronic sounds just as much as they’ve stretched and bended those guitar strings to make their signature “insect noises”. They’d sound like Breton, or Breton would sound like Foals. Actually, with Breton, both the...
Waylayers
Well well well, what do we have here. Waylayers – with a lead singer that sounds like cross between Yannis Philippakis from Foals and Chris Martin from Coldplay. This is indie pop, with electronic elements – songs like Hear No Lies sounding very much like Delphic (no shit, Ewan Pearson from Dephic produced this) and...
Oh No! Yoko
I cannot believe this band is “unsigned” and has been allowed to remain “unsigned”. Oh No! Yoko is this other Canadian band that I am really liking at the moment. I really need to check out the Vancouver scene, seriously. Really upbeat fast drums, pop-py Death Cab-esque vocals and Everett Morris plays his guitar strapped...
FOALS: Spanish Sahara
New video revealed from Foals‘ new album, Total Life Forever which is scheduled for release on May 10th, 2010.Talk about total change of direction. Yannis and co has made a drastic u-turn away from their previous highly-energetic, stop-start indierock from their first releaseAntidotes, a sound he once described as “making insect noises with guitars.”This time...
Oh! Electric Shock – Foals
Give A Fuck For A Fuck You Making insect noises with guitars. And definitely not indie. That’s was what this band, from the university town of Oxford here in the UK, once described its music. When Foals burst into the scene about a year and a half back, I was absolutely sold. Insectoid guitars, off...
