I've spent the last three or four hours searching for new music to write about. It was so uninspiring that I was having one of those "WHY DO I DO THIS" moments, and then I remembered that there was a new Gold Panda track floating around that I hadn't taken the time to listen to yet. It's called We Work Nights and today it is my salvation. The six-minutes could last for half an hour and we'd still be lost in it. Constantly inventive throughout, the middle-eastern vibes and soft throb of the synths create an [...]
Thanks to all of the 1345 ones of you who voted for them, Citizens! won the FubizAwards 2013 in the music video category last Thursday! Their video for “True Romance” directed by We Are From LA promotes love in any ways, making a stand for equality, and we love to believe that’s why it deserved [...]
It has been quite a long time since I deeply listened to some Rock that really impressed me, let alone local. A close friend of mine had told me that old High School buddies from New West had released some material under the name " Hillfolk " so once I got home I found one of them on Facebook and there it was. All of the members in this band are talented musicians so I was not surprised to find myself replaying the 3 tracks they've put out so far. The wide range of influences that they have completely shows [...]

Big Wave | Goldmine Our favourite home-county heroes return with another juicy slice of sunshine on new single Goldmine. Released on a staggeringly-hot chrome cassette via Art Is Hard , it's further justification of our statement that Big Wave are one of the finest new bands these shores has to offer. Urgent, energetic and brilliantly realised; Goldmine is GOLD. * MONEY | Bluebell Fields The first single [...]
Born in Cameroon before moving to the US at the age of six, Lorine Chia's backstory is anything but straight-forward; and the music she is making aptly follows suit. A soul-stirring take on classic r'n'b; rich, dense and full of heart. New single Can We, is glorious; Lorine's vocal taking centre-stage, steering the track through minimal beats and gorgeous production. More than that though, Lorine has that little something about her that makes her feel like a true star already. A full length record is in the [...]
STRFKR ~ Atlantis Their new album is set for release on April 1st via the ever-brilliant Polyvinyl, and STRFKR have now dropped a new video for the records lead single in the form of this gloriously mad visual take on Atlantis. Let's Say We Did ~ Goodbye A marvelous melding of Swedish indie-pop sensibilities and lofi 902s rock vibes, Stockholm's Let's Say We Did have already drawn comparisons to the likes of Teenage Fanclub [...]

GoldFlakePaint is very pleased to bring you We Have Band ' s somewhat intoxicating take on the brilliant I Hold Loneliness; a track taken from the new Wave Machines album, which dropped last week via Neapolitan/PIAS. Pollen is the bands first new material since their critically-acclaimed debut album, Wave If You're Really There, and this remix lands just as the band head out on a UK tour in support of said record. The tour starts in Bath tonight and ends in Southampton on February 7th. For [...]
Interview by Tom Johnson There's a big difference between being a recording artist and being a 'voice'. 23 year-old Winston Yellen is a voice. I don't just mean he has a great voice, I mean there is something markedly unique about the music he's putting out. His debut LP is released on UK shores this February - via the ever-brilliant Dead Oceans label and as far as first-time efforts are concerned, it's pretty astonishing. First single Even If We Try has us mesmerised from the very first listen; almost gospel [...]
Words by Sammy Maine It’s incredibly easy to hate Foxygen . They unashamedly showcase their influences in a way that would make most high-and-mighty fans of 60’s and 70’s rock turn up their noise. Yes, vocalist Sam France does sound a bit like Mick Jagger; yes, they do sound a bit like The Kinks/ The Beatles / early David Bowie and yes, on first inspection they look like they stepped straight out of a Wes Anderson slo-mo scene but delve a little deeper and you may just fall a little bit in love. [...]

![Review // Seasfire ~ We Will Wake [EP]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4656297_lg.jpg)
Words by Caroline Bursell Provided the Mayans are wrong and world doesn't end this month, a resolution for 2013 should be to keep an eye (and ear) on newcomers Seasfire , whose "desolate songs of heartbreak from the shadows of Bristol " have made an impression on music lovers and FM frequencies, especially BBC Radio1 and XFM. The band are taking their heartbreak to high places supporting King Charles, Bastille and more, but for now their shining moment is new EP ' We Will Wake '. Single and [...]
For reasons that I won't go in to right now - for fear of completely losing my way - there seems to be fewer and fewer times when a song genuinely stops me in my tracks. Maybe its wistful romanticism on my part, or maybe it's because of the cultural shift in the way we consume art and media these days, but I rarely seem to find myself dumb-struck my music quite as often as I used to. There have been less than a handful of moments this year where I have been completely overwhelmed upon first hearing a song; but then [...]
An important component of any good band is a clear sense of certainty in their sound. It’s no good listening to something that’s confused, or as a result of an uncertainty, seems like it’s chosen to be boring instead (although I should be clear – that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the sound of band experimenting or trying something new). This requirement is exactly why the new EP by Sailplanes is something of a gem. Only three tracks long, it’s hardly going to tax your ear or your time. But with a solid, comfortably delivered sassy sound it’ll [...]

Words by Mark Robinson I’ll be honest; this feature is written with the purpose of introducing anyone to Reuben who did not know who they were before. But also, because In Nothing We Trust is arguably one of the most overlooked and under-appreciated albums of the 21st century. It is bizarre to imagine, in the current musical climate, that there was a time when musical bigwigs would dare to throw money at bands like Hell is for Heroes and Hundred Reasons - perhaps that’s [...]
If nothing else, you have to give credit to We Are The Physics for being ambitious with their choice of subjects to sing about. After the angular-snap indie-riffage of “Goran Ivanisevic,” singing the tales of everyone’s favourite Croatian tennis player; they are back to give us a little history lesson on the relationship between Josephine de Beauharnais and Napoleon Bonaparte. Well, maybe it is – fair to say it was never documented by the equivalent of primary school chanting - but God damn is it addicting regardless. If you have ever listened to The Young Knives you know [...]
UK's five-piece Citizens! are pleased to reveal their extremly romantic and sexy music video "True Romance" ! CLICK HERE TO WATCH IT ON WONDERLAND ! Video directed by We Are From LA The band contributes their inspiration fro the "True Romance" video to the image they got from a couple kissing at the Vancouver riots. [...]
Words by Tom Johnson There's an earthy familiarity that prevails from the outset of Ghosts We Must Carry , the new, and second, album from Glasgow folk outift The State Broadcasters . Subtle and delicate tales of love old, new, lost and found provide the records backbone, around which soft but warm instrumentation coils and wraps itself, creating a sparse but thoroughly eneveloping landscape. Despite the heavyness suggested by the album title, the LP is an often breezy affair - flourishes of horns, piano and a selection of [...]
Summer is over. It's gone. Done and dusted for another year. It's September tomorrow, and it's time to start dealing with it. What better way then, than with a healthy dose of Scottish folk music. Which is where today's Track Of The Day comes in. Say hello to State Broadcasters , who are giving away Kittiwake, a track from their new LP, Ghosts We Must Carry, which is released 17th September via Olive Grove Records . Steeped in wonderful downbeat tones, sombre lyrics and some gorgeous instrumentation and backing vocals, it's a [...]
