Afro-pop turns beautifully glossy in the hands of Sydney, Australia band Jinja Safari . A blend of Mumford and Sons harmonies, Jonquil's Graceland affectations and the holier-than-thou elevation of bands like Lord Huron and Local Natives , Jinja and "Head In A Blender" aren't only the latest to do this type of miasmatic world music, but they might be one of the best. With a string of one-off singles on their Soundcloud page that are as unexpectedly charming as any band since Fanfarlo's debut [...]

Well, after a thin couple of weeks there are some rather excellent things happening in Edinburgh over the next few days. Except I won't be here because of a wedding. Drat. People really shouldn't get married. Mrs. Toad and I are married now, that's all the weddings there need to be. Alternatively, I suppose, if people weren't getting married all the time I might well take no holidays at all, so I suppose I should be a little less ungrateful and just take the opportunity to put my feet up. Anyhow, the Ides of Toad makes [...]

Oxford hotshots Jonquil , released their wonderful sophomore record, Point of Go , back in February, and now you can check out a new video for single "Run". The visuals have to do with the immense freedom that we all must encompass. As possibly the catchiest and best song on the record, this properly is an entertaining, fun little time. I just want togo off into a field and daydream about young girlfriends and congruent angles. Had a chance to check out the band during CMJ last year, and they blew me away. So [...]

Verträumter Folk-Pop von einer Band aus dem Herzen Englands, die in den letzten Jahren ihren Sound perfektioniert hat. Bereits vor ein paar Jahren waren Jonquil aus Oxford ein Thema dieses Blogs. Damals wurden sie noch als blosser Abklatsch einiger US-Bands gehandelt, die heute teilweise gar nicht mehr existieren. Mittlerweile haben sie allerdings eine eigene Stimme gefunden und diese präsentiert sich mit leisen Tönen, prägnant und äusserst einnehmend. Die neue Platte "Point Of [...]

"In Oxford there were three record shops when I was growing up... Avid, Polar Bear, and Vinyl Frontier." "I would spend a huge amount of time at all of them, even though I could rarely afford to buy any records. I would hunt down any Warp Records stuff I could - I had a borderline obsession with that label and their output in the mid to late nineties. I can't remember the first record I bought, but I do remember a little collection that me and my brothers inherited off [...]
