So here's another Daily Growl occasional series. It'll probably be less regular than Singles going steady , but hopefully a lot more frequent than Whatever happened to…. We'll see. As the title may suggest, it's quite simple – all about London record shops. The plan is to compile a sort of guide to record shops in the capital and and buy some good stuff along the way. Some of them will be shops I frequent, others will be new to me, which will be part of the fun. So here goes. First up is [...]

I was too abrupt . The boy wonder, Esser , deserves part two. Esser fuses tuneful trippy electro experimental pop with raw lyrics that rub the underside of your skin. Call it what you like, but lets hope Esser continues to write the best pop in ages. Alphabeat, just stop now! In fact, I wish you never started. Esser is going to eat your heart out. Formerly the drummer in the defunct Ladyfuzz , Esser [...]

Episode 10 of The Mix Tape Podcast is now available for download! This week takes in the sounds of Pacific coast DJ, Daedelus, and his new album 'Love To Make Music To' - seriously underrated and largely unknown here in the UK - we sample more from My Morning Jacket and the gorgeous Lykke Li and we also have time to lay down the awesome single by East Londoner Esser with the simply named single 'I love You'. Oh! Also: we have time for a slice of some of the freshest hip-hop [...]
Another artist who's been on here lately is Esser . A few weeks ago I raved , quite rightly, about his glitch-pop funbag of a single I Love You . Last week I got to hear what he sounds like doing his stuff live when he played with his band on Marc Riley's BBC 6Music show. It was all good stuff, though he rocks out a bit more than I expected on Leaving Town , and there's that "she's never satisfied" moan on Satisfied - I'm always a bit suspicious when men come away [...]

(il ne sera à aucun moment question du PSG dans ce post) Grande soirée Woot hier soir, avec le dernier match de la saison de Malherbe à domicile. Pas d'enjeu véritable à ce match, Caen étant exceptionnellement assuré de son maintien à 2 journées de la fin du championnat. Je commence la soirée chez Jimmy Hébert, à la Casa, afin de voir la première mi temps de Toulouse-PSG. J'ai bien aimé cette ambiance steak-frites moite et ces envolées telles que "Paris est merdique", "Paris en ligue 23... J'ai serré mes [...]

Esser - I love you (mp3) Esser Myspace
The Roots featuring Dice Raw, Peedi Crack, and DJ Jazzy Jeff "Get Busy" - I don't know why, but I totally take the Roots for granted, and I suspect that I'm not alone. Much of this comes down to Black Thought -- he's a terrific, highly competent rapper who, for some reason, seems entirely incapable of sparking enthusiasm, even when he's doing a party song. That said, he's less the star of the Roots than its anchor -- ?uestlove's drumming and his band's arrangements are the real draw, and the group leans on guest rappers for [...]

Just the beginning of another week. Although this one seems to be going every which way (positive, negative, positive, negative)... but of course that doesn't stop the music (thank god)... or at least other people's music... my music came screeching to a halt... but that's another story... I caught Esser in Dazed and Confused a couple months ago and thought "Looks like something I need to check out"... and low and behold I got my hands on an Esser track to give to you fancy folks. He has this to say [...]

Sorry for the posting dry-spell, but I've been busy - anyway, it gave me time to find the best tracks in what was otherwise a pretty average week of music releases... infact it was so poor that I've dug into the archives and found a few top tracks that seem to have found themselves resurfacing in recent times... Anyway, based on the diversity of the selection below, I clearly have problems deciding on what's good for the ears: Below's a serving of one cheery track from Bobmo , and three pop tracks from Esser , [...]

Song Black Angels ~ " Young Man Dead " myspace plays: 55,836 download (via charimanmeow ) I was tipped off to this Zune add by the crew over at Foundtrack, which put me in the mood for some Austin Psych Rock. It's a cool video, kinda like a big leggo guy battle royale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =WdAzcLNb1As views: 6,633 The Black Angels new album [...]
If you know me, you know how obsessed I am with the world of love and romance. You know how I love epic whimsical heart-aching songs. You also know I love slow jams with lyrics that say "Thought our love was strong, but we ain't getting it on." But in this case [...]

i have tons of tracks to post tonight and i'll start it off with the most perfect pop song i have heard in a while. according to some of you this probably won't fit in on discodust but as i like it a lot, it does. got it? just like the prodigy , squarepusher and blur , essex is the hometown of esser , the band surrounding ben esser. 'i love you' is a real indie pop gem with witty lyrics driven by fuzzed-up bass. the nme calls it 'playschool pirate [...]

If you caught Foals on their recent tour you'd have probably seen Esser . His first single 'I Love You' is out via hip label Merok (Klaxons, Crystal Castles, The Teenagers) on April 14th and it's getting a limted press vinyl-only release. Gramophone style vocals along with a healthy injection fuzzed-up bass and large beats combine here to make some very nice left-field pop. mp3: esser - i love you .
The first single from Esser is due for release on 14th April and is called "I Love You" The release is limited to 500 copies of vinly only - but we've got the mp3 for you here! Enjoy "Esser is a person not a band. I use a computer machine and some instruments to make popular [...]

Okay, I'm still in essay hell so forgive a general lack of composure. Taking a time out for a bit of a remix special. Firstly, we have Sebastien Tellier and the remixes for his new single, Divine . Reworking the track are Aussie electro rockers, Midnight Juggernauts, with a typically downtempo take on the song that I think would be just perfect for a European festival in a dance tent at about 5am, when everything starts to get a bit hazy. On the flipside, we have Danger with a absolute stonker of a remix! Glitchy, drawn out, it [...]
Esser Genre: Pop / Pop / Pop From: London, UK London's pop maestro Esser, who has just finished a tour with Foals , turns the quirky dial to full on with his new single 'I Love You'. As infectious as Hepatitus it's like the younger brother of White Town's 'Your Women' (the one hit wonder to end all one hit wonders) with a curiously retro [...]
ESSER 's "I Love You" has been pleasantly playing in my head all day like inspirational sweet nothings...Esser just got off his tour with Foals and on April 7th, Merok will release 500 limited edition 7"s, luckly we have the track as an MP3! Esser - "I Love You" WOOO WOOO WEEE OOOO!
