Barely out of their teens, but blessed with a talent that belies their tender years, Wild Swim have – somewhat incredibly – already notched up almost a decade of experience as a band. Richard Sansom (vocals), Carlos Posada (guitar and keyboard), Jacob Lively (bass) and Sam Robinson (drums) have been playing together since they formed at school in Oxford, with Jamie Jay (also guitar and keyboard) joining two years later. “Our first ever gig was at a school concert when we were 11 or 12,” recalls Posada. “That was when Richard was asked [...]

It only takes a brief glance down the shelves of your local record store to learn an important lesson: naming a band is hard. There's a delicate balance between capturing your aesthetic spirit, not sounding like an idiot, and remaining Googleable - a balance that all too few seem to achieve. I presume, though, that when your actual name is Cosmo Sheldrake , the issue is pretty much rendered moot. Not only is there precisely zero chance of anybody turning up the wrong search result, it also captures perfectly the air of distinctly English eccentricity [...]
O londrino Sivu mostrou literalmente o que se passa na cabeça de um músico com o vídeo do seu primeiro single, “Better Man Than He” , gravado com um aparelho de ressonância magnética enquanto o artista cantava o próprio single. Apesar da grande repercussão do vídeo, que servia de apresentação ao pop vintage do rapaz, Sivu ainda continua trabalhando num pequeno callcenter em Waterloo, entretanto, se depender do lançamento do seu novo single, “Bodies”, que também serve de título para o seu novo EP, as coisas devem estar prestes a mudar para o rapaz de 24 anos. [...]
Sivu, es un músico de 24 años que recientemente se mudó a Londres para hacer música. "Bodies" su nuevo sencillo fue producido por Charlie Andrew (productor de Alt-J) será parte de un EP que lanzará el próximo 3 de junio. Enjoy.
Last year this young British artist who goes by the name of Sivu released his debut track "Better Man Than He" , and instantly I thought it was a Wild Beasts side project. His voice is almost identical at times, though on other tracks like "Family Tree" it's less comparative and comes into its own. Today he released another new cut in the form of "Bodies", an elegant Ferrero Rocher of a track that's taken from the EP of the same name , [...]
Brighton quartet Kins are of a rare breed; oddities of indie. Yes, it's guitar music which hinges on melodrama to make each individual vertebra tingle and quiver, and of course comparisons will be drawn between Thomas Savage's endearing falsetto delivery and that of Hayden Thorpe. They've even been about since 2010, thus before the purported demise of said guitar music . Though with the emergence of an eponymous EP only yesterday, they've managed to accentuate the intrinsic peculiarities to an extent which allows them to protrude forth from the ever widening mire of humdrum guitar aficionados [...]

"On New Years Eve" es el sencillo debut de Blaue Blume , una nueva banda de Copenhague. Su sonido es bárbaro, melodías vocales exquisitas y guitarras con mucho reverb, algo parecido a lo que hace Wild Beasts . Esperamos a escuchar más de ellos próximamente. Enjoy.
Cue the inexorable comparisons to the acrobatic vocal capacities of a certain Hayden Thorpe, though this one from Copenhagen's Blaue Blume has plenty more elegiac spring in its sprightly step than the entirety of Wild Beasts' discography combined. Entitled On New Years Eve, its four and a half pertain to that wistful bit tacked onto the end of each and every year without fail at which you lament all that wasn't to be. Yesterday, what was to be was a preliminary glimpse into When Saints Go Machine's forthcoming third full-length, Infinity Pool – an outré collaboration [...]

![[Listen] Wild Beasts: "Loop The Loop" (D-Pulse Edit)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4822174_lg.jpg)
Wild Beasts tiene un nuevo álbum en camino para este año, y aunque por lo regular no suelo interesarme en la serie de 'edits' que van apareciendo en la red de varios de los tracks de su excelente " Smother ", el día de hoy caí en la tentación de esta versión instrumental que D-Pulse se dio a la tarea de crear para "Loop The Loop", y por más arriesgado y peligroso que pudiera haberse tornado este experimento, la realidad es que el resultado final es una joya. Además, lo último que escuchamos de Wild Beasts fue [...]
Wild Beasts: "Loop The Loop" [D-Pulse Edit] Russian outfit D-Pulse take us on a ride with this absolutely beautiful instrumental edit of Wild Beasts' "Loop The Loop", one of the best songs on their 20112s album "Smother". As they say: "The original is not new but we've chopped it into "b-side" kind of instrumental, which always wanted to have." It's yours for free. Thanks for sharing, D-Pulse. Download here
Today should have been an enormous day or unravelling the myriad of conflicting identities in colonial Indochina – instead, I have spent most of it mirroring the precise percussion of Brolin’s infectious ‘Reykjavik’ using anything within reaching distance: biros, bananas, Gladstone’s memoirs. Anything would do. It probably shouldn’t be a surprise that Brolin’s maudlin anthem should be so impressive from a production point of view, as it was conceived by Brolin, Luke Abbott and David Pye (Wild Beasts). ‘Reykjavik’ is a wonderful approximation of all their talents, too, encapsulating the icy honesty of Brolin’s voice, Abbott’s minimalist beats, [...]
Those of you not from the UK probably won't bat an eyelid when I say this, but today I'm writing about Woman's Hour . Not the long-running BBC Radio 4 female-oriented show, but the band - although the latter are named after the former, because it's "something they grew up with". I'll be honest, I haven't often listened to the show, but at this point I'm happy to stick to the band. They're a four-piece from Kendal in the Lake District, and they've actually been playing together for quite a while. However, [...]

Sivu Page pode não ser o nome mais comum que você já ouviu, mas se depender do primeiro single do rapaz de 24 anos, taí um nome que você deve ouvir com muita frequência em 2013. Incentivado pelo produtor do brilhante disco de estreia do Alt-J , Charlie Andrew, Sivu era guitarrista de uma banda inglesa até que, ao mostrar suas músicas ao produtor, logo tratou de assinar um contrato com a Warner para lançamento do seu primeiro disco, que, sem muitas surpresas, também traz Andrew no comando. Sua estreia, a belíssima “Better Man Than He”, não [...]
