Them:Youth – Bows and Arrows
The palpitations of these heart fluttering Londoner’s can be felt like a warm, Spiritualized-esqe hug under the dying heartbeat of Brit pop. Euphoric ripples of incendiary and atmospheric waves creep into group vocals that firmly cement the future of this ethereal outfit.
The Only Sons – Lay Back Down
Outlandishly hearty and roots ridden, this working class spawn of what sounds very much like The Boss himself embodies gruffly romantic vocals, steel-slappin’ fiddles and a hopeful promise of the American dream. Ronnie Van Zant himself would high five The Only Sons for their bayou-thudding Southern melodic beauty, and so will I.
The Generationals – When They Fight, They Fight
Get your shuffle on and your Martha Reeves out, this soul doused ditty has the capability to elongate the grins of the despondent, get the corner disco to-cool-to-groove scenesters jiving and even the hardcore obsessed tattooed angry young men of this country give a wee wink.
The Dead Weather – Hang You From The Heavens
Blog heavy super-group prove they live up to the hype with this scuzzy scrapheap of feedback and roughed up rock ‘n’ revolt. Dirty booze-fuelled grubby vocals from Alison Mossheart prove to be a significant backbone of this band’s carefully crafted chaotic clanging.
The Gertrudes – River
Graciously alarming delectable echoes follow The Gertrudes everywhere they go. The Kingston folkster’s pick and pluck their way through this mawkish utopian squeeze that amalgamates Bon Iver with the Cinematic Orchestra in an atmospheric ringing of purity.
Listened to a lot of music today!
