Friday tunes 49


Albums
Family of the Year – Loma Vista - If you want to get your summer folkiness on, look no further!
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Here – For those happy western-folky-jumping around the gig tent type tunes
Hot Chip – In Our Heads – Great new album, loving the sound of some of the tracks, a great evolution on previous albums
Frank Ocean – channel ORANGE – Watch out for this guy, he’s going to be huge, combining R&B, Hip-hop and some electro. His vocals remind me of D’angelo
Plan B – ill Manors – This. Is. Genius. Everyone should give this one a spin!
Danny Byrd – Medical History Great new liquid D&B record from Hospital Records’ Danny Byrd!

Single tracks
Family of the Year – St. Croix – Great summery festival tune
Family of the Year – Buried – Another happy-clappy summary tune
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – That's What's Up – Honky-tonky folky-western fun times
Hot Chip – These Chains – Smooth bass line and a great groove
Hot Chip – Flutes – Almost a sinister electro house vibe to this one. Loving it!
Frank Ocean – Lost – Beaut of a track. Some great funk and delicious vocals
Frank Ocean – Pink Matter – Another gorgeous track with some orchestral sampling this time which drifts in to some chunky strolling base and rap
Plan B – I Am The Narrator – Love it, he’s sampled Camille Saint-Saens!
Plan B – Drug Dealer - feat. Takura – Awesome grimy dance-hall chuuune!
Plan B – Playing With Fire - feat. Labrinth – Totally gorgeous guitar, background vocals
Plan B – Live Once - feat. Kano – Love the transitions all through this one. So much going on
Plan B – Michelle - Original Score – Some more use of latin guitar and some cool drum backings
Danny Byrd – Soul Function – And now some happy happy D&B
Danny Byrd – Dog Hill – Had this one on repeat for ages. My album stand-out track!
Danny Byrd – Ill Behaviour – An earlier track, but totally loving the grime in the drop. I definitely remember going a bit mental to this on a night out!
Plan B – Love Goes Down - Doctor P Remix – A filthy D&B mix of a sweet Plan B track
