Yes, I bruised the top of my feet. OWIE.
That means it hurts to wear shoes...
oi.
Airbird - Part Of The Game: Slurpy chillwave loves you sooooooooo mmmmmuuuuuuuccchhhhh and wants to give you a bit wet sloppy kiss in slow motion!
Angel Stoxx - The Sound of My Voice: Yesssss my favourite clicky minimal sexiness!
Baby Dee - Yapapipi: Always seemingly two bars away from becoming a MASSIVE power ballad, this Vangelis-inspired piano number from the album "Regifted Light" would fit perfectly over a montage of two lovers in separate cities making themselves tea and staring out the window waiting for fate to hear their desperate silent stares.
Bad Rabbits - Can't Back Down: This kind of electro-squelch funk is the Prince copycatting that I always expected from bands like Chromeo. Prince's tiny shoes are tough to fill, and yay, this song kicks the right grooves.
D&C - Raise It Right: Has that barnroom stomp production that Sleigh Bells popularized, but whistful vocals that are part Concretes, part garage-fuzzed Florence.
Deaf Center - Divided
Deaf Center - Hunted Twice: Owl Splinters features some gorgeous moods on it, and will be essential to anyone in to Richard Skelton or the Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto collabs. i.e. a fabulous mix of acoustic instruments and sensuous digital treatments.
Devotionals - Chest Like Expansive Wings: Shades of Dirty Three, but with a stronger roots/folk influence. Taken from their self-titled album.
Enya - A Day Without Rain (Dntel Mix)
Enya - One By One (Dntel Mix)
Enya - To Go Beyond (Dntel Mix): DNTEL release a bootleg remix album, with the requisite "OMG I LOVE YOU PLEASE DON'T SUE ME" boilerplate and all. Enya fans will totally dig all there is to be had. Dntel fans will find a number of loveable nuggets of electro-light.
Gianna Lauren - Become What You Can't Be: Epically emotive folk from the album "Some Move Closer, Some Move On" with some of the most blissful lulling horns I've heard all month.
GodWrath - Heart vs. Mind: hardcore/metal from Israel, from the album "Immersed In Flames". I have a thing for hardcore female vocals.
Gregory And The Hawk - Over and Over: Off the new album Leche, I do love the folk with the shouty vocal breakdowns, yay!
Inlets - In Which, I, Robert: A little bit debonaire, a little bit empassioned, and all sorts of baroque rock goodness going on here. From the album Inter Arbiter, for fans of Parenthetical Girls (see below) for sure.
Parenthetical Girls - The Pornographer: From the EP "Privilege, pt. III: Mend & Make Do", a taste of baroque rock and grittier Patrick Wolf with a little taste of Grinderman for good measure.
Telonius - I Do: Nice little deep plodder with some roots-folk vocals and sampled guitar on top.
The Dodos - Black Night
The Dodos - Don't Stop: Woah, the new Dodos album is amazing! So far so good. And this is from someone who really didn't like their 2nd album. Very much recommended. I've only given it 2 listens, but am eagerly awaiting more.
