Apparently, Ben Howard is a man out of step with the troublesome nature of modernity. He no longer bothers with mobile phones (he's lost 7 to date), he's yet to dabble with digital television, and he finds this social networking malarkey irksome. It's a stance that resonates through his music too, all recorded in a crumbling, creaking barn in rural Devonshire and nestled between the moors and the sea. Set against a world of computerised melodies, he is the ultimate argument for returning to basics by proving that this is a method that works. The utterly [...]
If you've heard Chase & Status' latest offering, Blind Faith , you will already, perhaps unwittingly, have heard Liam Bailey who provides the vocals. Now, he looks set to make it on his own with his gorgeous soulful music. His voice is rich and velvety, and current single You'd Better Leave Me Darling sounds like contemporary Motown. It's a refreshing, retro twist on the R'n'B flooding the market at the moment, as he creates an uptempo, emotional song speaking of a man's uncertainty, and this vulnerability is endearing. If further proof of his credentials as an artist [...]
I've decided to adopt an occassional feature of Do You Know, highlighting "hype" artists that you may not have heard of yet, but are likely to be doing big things in the next couple of years thanks to the support of bloggers and industry taste makers. The first of these features is all about Little Comets . The band hail from Newcastle and have slowly been gaining a following virally, but now seem to be close to attracting mainstream success. Musically, they sound like proper indie. It's easy to see this as typical guitar led music, but its attraction [...]

So it certainly has been a struggle keeping everything straight this past couple of months. Can barely keep my head above water. Lemme tell you, Paste:Local Atlanta has me running in circles most of the time. (SO YOU SHOULD PROBABLY READ IT EVERY DAY AND LEAVE COMMENTS.) I don't even get much time to listen and digest new music. A couple of new things I've stumbled upon, despite the fact that I basically live in a cave (and by "a cave," I mean "stressed out alone in my living room"...pity the lonely freelancer): [...]
