Albums

The Temper Trap – The Temper Trap – Where have I been listening, these guys are amazing. A bit Empire of the Sun and Radiohead-esque in parts! A number of standout tracks listed below. Also loving “London’s Burning” about last years riots.

The Temper Trap – Conditions – Another great album from 2009. Pure fun and pleasure listening. More standouts below

Pretty Lights – Making Up A Changing Mind – Super cool electro funk. So happy to have found this Colorado hero!

Single tracks

Civil Twilight – Doorway – Reminds me of U2

Unforscene – Belly Full Of Lead – And back to a funky hip-hop favourite

Labrinth – Express Yourself – Fun new cover of express yourself

The Pharcyde – Passing Me By – And why not, a sexy little hip-hop fave from the Pharcyde

Donell Jones featuring Left-Eye – U Know What's Up – And now some romancing hip-hop (cheers LP. Congrats Jerry!)

Bastille – Overjoyed – Kinda Ed Sherran / James Blake (without a dub break). Beaut of a track

The Temper Trap – Trembling Hands – An absolute epic beauty. Maybe an Empire of the Sun / Doves cross

The Temper Trap – Rabbit Hole – This is where they go Radiohead-esque. Very nice!

The Temper Trap – Sweet Dispositon – Swear I’ve heard this one on an ad. High pitched sweet melody

The Temper Trap – Fader – Here’s an anthem

The Temper Trap – Resurrection – Possibly my favourite. Got a long Led Zeppelin style build-up to it!

Dragonette – Let It Go – Fun track for the summer clubs. Tell me if you think this isn’t going to be a dance hit or on a snowboarding video

Pretty Lights – I Can See It In Your Face – Cool RJD2 style gipsy jazz

Pretty Lights – Total Fascination – Some seriously funky and hard electro

Pretty Lights – If I Could Feel Again – Much more in the RJD2 realm. A bit more chilled out with a sweet little piano lick

Pretty Lights – Let Em Know It's Time To Go – And back to the hard funk!

Young Wonder – Orange – Heavy medium paced beat with cool surreal vocals
