I just got a great review in one of Sweden's bigges morning papers, and the rest of the world is not late on following the trend. TOANWTS is appointed the prestigious title of " Album of the Month " on renowned music blog Bluesbunny " Perhaps her most interesting artistic choice however is the sound of the album this time around. Country flavoured sonic touches abound on many of the songs thus giving the album an underlying focus and, [...]
The music in the video above was created by Bartholomäus Traubeck by slicing a tree in cross-section, sticking it on a turntable, and dropping a tone-arm with a PlayStation Eye Camera in the head, and processing its output through Ableton Live . It's perhaps the most mesmerizing thing I've heard in a long, long while. It's also the sound of a tree slice! [via Clusterflock ]

Following in the footsteps of French Soul revivalist Ben L'Oncle Soul , here comes singer/songwriter Leon . This newcomer of congolese descent, based in Toulouse, in the South West of France, will release his debut album "Chocolate" in March. An effort heavily influenced by Stax and Motown's greats, encompassing such genres as Funk, Soul and Gospel and borrowing to the timeless sound of Southern Soul legends Eddie Floyd and Sam & Dave . Listen to the track "Promess Of Love right below, a [...]

Just had to share some of these great fan reviews I've received for the new album. After all the real critics are the listeners: Sofia Talvik's mastery of the acoustic has never been more evident than in her latest album - The Owls Are Not What They Seem. Her fifth album, in which Sofia has 'gone back to basics' is a stunning display of her vocal prowess and lyrical talent... unpretentious, yet powerfully moving. I have had TOANWTS for only a few days now, [...]
These three songs will blow your mind! Some have said DJ Fredrik Sundberg will be the next Avicii! Once you listen, you will definitely notice their similar sound. Although this DJ is a bit of a mystery, supposedly, he is a member of a new wave Swedish electro group called The Sounds. In The Sounds, [...]
With Gingrich's devastating Floridian loss, once again I feel justified for naming this hardcore festival news roundup column Pit Romney. Here's what's new... Don't sell the Midwest short, as Chicago-based fest The Rumble has declared much of its 2012 lineup, with classic headline acts Negative Approach and Murphy's Law topping a bill with scene favorites [...]

Feels like I'm jumping on the bandwagon with the following artist, as he's been praised by every single blogger out there already, while music journalists from The Guardian to the BBC have been raving about him. 24 year old London based singer/songwriter Michael Kiwanuka has just been named the winner of the BBC Sound of 2012 poll, and it's safe to say that his upcoming album, " Home Again" , might just become one of the most meaningful Soul records of the year, [...]

You may recall to coincide with the BBC's Sound Of 2012, we asked bloggers to vote for who they thought would produce music of note in 2012, the Bloggers long list is here which we thought made a nice contrast to the BBC's longlist here. So without further ado here is the results of the bloggers Sound of 2012 Top Five. Most of our own tips/hopes (which are HERE ) aren't in there but hey ho that's democracy for ya ! **************************** [...]

10. The Sounds - Something To Die For After a disappointing detour from their synth-punk roots, the band came roaring back with their fourth album. It does what the band does best, offering up aggressive, dance-fueled rock with the glossy sheen of radio pop music. It nearly reaches the perfection of their first two releases. 9. Clare Maguire - Light After Dark [...]

35. The Sounds - Something To Die For A late-career highlight. Sometimes all it takes is a well written pop song, and this definitely fits the bill. 34. Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (TGIF) Katy Perry's chart run continued unabated this year, and this track reignited interest in her brand of young, glossy pop. [...]

AGORA Regathered by Derek Piotr Producer Derek Piotr released an album earlier this year, AGORA , that lead sounds down dark, twisted, and manipulated tunnels of ambient, noise, and experimental music. To follow up the album, Piotr has recently amassed a series of AGORA remixes created by producers who are as eccentric as he. Sometimes, the remixes force these tracks into territory that's even glitchier and more unpredictable. Though the artists remixing these tracks are very different in style, using Piotr's music as a [...]
