"Not enough has emerged to be able to pinpoint whether MS MR are the real deal or predictable bullshit. One thing’s for sure though, they’re pretty MOR..." MS MR | Secondhand Rapture The elusive MS MR are part of the latest gloom brigade to break out from the waiting room of future talent, and as with most hyped-up fledging acts they have been charged with the over-familiar fate of ‘saving pop’. Their entry into the musicsphere was in the same vein as Lana Del Rey; opting not to release too much information too early on, letting [...]
You know when you can't stop listening to a song for days on end that it drives you to the point of insanity? Thanks a lot, Lana, because you're making me crazy with "Queen Of Disaster". It leaked this past Friday, and it was my anthem the entire long weekend. As 602s soul/pop is essentially my favorite genre of all time, to nail a song in this style without it sounding cheesy, forced, or just plain stupid is a great feat. Plus, my dude friends were spinning like ballerinas to it all weekend. That's how you know you've got a [...]
Nostalgia can be a terrible thing, but we're all grateful for a dose of it every once in a while. Gallant is a 21 year-old, New York-based artist who's music harks back to the glory days of the mid-nineties, when pop/r'n'b crossovers were storming every chart everywhere. Thankfully though there's something in his delivery and production that makes new track Please? (Vignette) sound beautifully fresh. The smooth-as-silk falsetto vocals are show-stopping, and they're the perfect match for the blissful ambience of the instrumentation that bubbles along on twinkling keys and crisp percussive beats. Please? [...]
Meridian Brothers - Guaracha U.F.O (Versión Rebajada) The best album I’ve listened to this year is by Bogota’s Meridian Brothers. Straddling the line between new and old, Meridian Brothers’ mischievous blend of Latin rhythms and psychedelic grooves is the creation of Eblis Álvarez, one of the key figures of the experimental music scene in Bogota. As with all of the Meridian Brother’s releases, every instrument on ‘Deseperanza’ was played and recorded by Eblis himself.
Originally the solo project of Jesse Cafiero, Split Screens added drummer Rory O'Connor ( Tycho, Com Truise ) and vibraphonist Geneva Harrison ( Rachel Goodrich, DRMS ) to record their debut, self-titled EP, which came out in December of last year. The band have recently made the step-up to performing live shows and have also released a beautiful new video that you can check out below. Crafted together using old footage from a San Franciscan film archive, the video is a perfect accompaniment to a track that is both vibrant and touching. Layers of soft instrumentation [...]

I love that the few bands who actually follow my review submission guidelines (found on the About page) are really good. Broken Tempo was the most recent to email me their music and I love their new single, "You." The ... Continue reading
The Spills | Spooky Roller Disco Words by Benjamin Shaw Living in London and enjoying a lengthy career in the NHS, it is fair to say that I am mostly fucking miserable. There are a few perks, obviously - the long hours, fluorescent lighting, MRSA - but there are only so many complimentary painkillers you can take before the vomiting gets more annoying than the headaches. So, for the past few months, Wakefield's The Spills have been my go-to painkiller. Having had loser-rockers Runaround [...]

"Crystal Fighters have one of the top albums of the summer, and possibly even of all 2013, so there can be no doubt that they got it right…even if it did take them almost three years..." Crystal Fighters | Cave Rave It is fairly routine for a band’s sound to evolve in between their initial album and subsequent efforts. This is especially true when the band in question take a lengthier period of time in crafting their follow-up, such as the three years it took for Crystal Fighters to create Cave Rave . Successor to [...]
Fresh from supporting Daughter on their recent U.S tour, the marvelous Wilsen unleash Dusk , their new single, on June 10th. While the hushed beauty of Dusk is another mesmerising release from the band, it was the B-Side that held the most interest, and Oblivion - a cover of Grimes' breakthrough 2012 single - is every bit as good as we'd hoped it would be. The instrumentation is as subtle as ever; the brief deviations and nuances keeping you firmly hooked in. Once again, however, it's [...]

The Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye is finally readying the release of his debut album proper, after the mixtape sagas of 2011 and 2012. 'Kiss Land' - the title track from it - is the first glimpse we've been given. A sprawling, eight-minute epic, it is a fascinating listen complete with twists and turns, odd samples and of course, Tesfaye's mesmerising croon. Amazingly, earlier this year The Weeknd announced an arena tour of the UK, a bold move for such a new artist but it pretty much encapsulates the confidence that drips throughout his work. Listen [...]
Every now and then a first single comes around that is so assured, so positive, so damn good that it stops you in your tracks. LA four-piece Smallpools have just unleashed one of them. Let's get this straight, 'Dreaming' isn't going to change the world - it's not trying to - but it is going to put a spring in the step and a smile on the face of an awful lot of people. It's had 20,000 plays on Soundcloud in 2 days for Pete's sake. Pete will probably like it too. 'Dreaming' is a near [...]

Los Ángeles Azules. En el pasado Vive Latino , Los Ángeles Azules contaron con una ráfaga de colaboradores durante su memorable presentación sobre el escenario Unión. Uno de los nombres que se les unió al escenario fue Ximena Sariñana para cantar la canción "Mis Sentimientos", original de la agrupación de cumbia. Esta relación finalmente se consumó y abajo pueden escuchar la canción en calidad de estudio de grabación. El resultado fue compartido por los mismos Ángeles Azules a través de SoundCloud .
