Wave Machines - Keep The Lights On
I was really surprised to find out these guys are from Liverpool and not some sun filled state of America. This track feels like it’s destined to live at the end of a chillout album, which is a shame because it deserves to be as far away as possible from the likes of Dido and James Blunt. I’m listening to the rest of the album right now, I expect it to be just as good.
Animal Collective - On a Highway
From the new AC Fall Be Kind EP. It’s really great, buy it.
Toddla T - Shake It (Ft. Herve & Serocee)
+plugged brings you some big beats straight from Sheffield, Toddla T (a boom dj from the steel city) delivers bootyshaking beats with a side of rice and peas. Make sure you grab the album, Skanky Skanky you really don’t want to miss the opportunity to get introduced to Mr V.
These Are Powers - Easy Answers
After the short lived n0 things, ex Liars bass player, Pat Noecker formed These Are Powers with Anna Barie (vocals/guitar) (ex Knife Skills & Fxxxing Lion) and Ted McGrath (drums) in 2006. The latter was replaced by electroacoustic drummer/percussionist Bill Salas. This track is off there latest long player All Aboard Future, I strongly recommend getting hold of a copy.
Monty On Steroids
Taken from this torrent - remixes of an orchestral adaptation of C64 music.
Abe Vigoda - Wild Heart
Really stoked to find a band I’ve never heard of before with two cracking long players and a great EP behind them. Already looking forward to their next release. Abe Vigoda hit a sweet spot between the noise pop, experimental rock, and tropical-inspired indie rock that Animal Collective once called home. They are affiliated with the whole LA noise rock scene, Health, Mika Miko all those guys who play at The Smell. Anyway highly recommended. Here they are covering a Stevie Nicks tune!?!?!

Picture Plane - Goth Star
Pictureplane is the stage name of electronic musician Travis Egedy. He first appeared in the music scene of Denver, Colorado, making a name for himself at the Rhinoceropolis club. His recent album, Dark Rift, attracted attention when it was well-received by Pitchfork Media and other critics. So says Wikipedia and who am I to argue. The album is pretty amazing though. Available through Lovepump United.
Deastro - The Shaded Forests
Someone smashed Friendly Fires and The Dodos together with a huge electro hammer then then you might end up with something like Deastro, this track The Shaded Forest has been played in my iTunes library 47 times in the past two days. I trust you’ll give it the same workout.
All Blues - Shnabubula
From the Kind Of Bloop 8bit tribute album covering A Kind Of Blue chipcore-style. This is probably the best track, really taking the spirit of the piece and playing with it. Review of the album here.
YACHT - Summer Song
Summer not quite what you expected? Let Summer Song put you in the mood! oh and if you like this then checkout the rest of the album called See Mystery Lights. (Psychic City is another great track)
