These guys are around for a while and are massively under appreciated in my humble opinion. Elbow is the band I’m talking about and Empires is the latest composition by Guy Garvey and the gang.

Song of the Week – Bat for Lashes – The Hunger – Episode 69
Natasha Khan one of those artists you can’t live without. Bat For Lashes is her pop persona and in my eyes she just can’t do wrong. It’s been a while since she released a track; so we are so glad to see her back. The Hunger is the tune and yes, you guessed it: we are hungry for more…
Song of the Week – Big Thief – Not – Episode 68
Big Thief released one of the best records of the year just a few months ago – and yet, they just released another one called “Two Hands” with stand out song Not on it. Probably one of the best American bands this millennium. Probably? I rephrase: Definitely.
Song of the Week – Jay Som – Anak Ko – Episode 67
Jay Som was a rather shy performer with a pleasant but not too exciting sound just a few years ago. Now, with her second album Jay has reached an all other level. She is amazing. ANAK KO is the new record and the title song is a stand out for sure. Cocteau Twins meets The Feelies…
Song of the Week – Pixx – Andean Condor – Episode 66
4AD know what’s good – remember The Pixies or Cocteau Twins? – Yes, exactly; 4AD. Pixx is just so versatile and creative. Andean Condor is a taster of what the world of Pixx is all about. Enjoy.
Song of the Week – Haelos – End of World Party – Episode 65
Haelos are one these bands that are hard to describe. A bit of trip hop, a bit of soul, a bit of indie and a lot of skills. End of World Party is almost a jungle song… not a bad thing by any means. Listen to the whole song – it’s worth it.
Song of the Week – Metronomy – Walking in the Dark – Episode 64
Metronomy never fail to amaze me. Walking in the dark is the second great song off their new joint after salted caramel ice cream. Haller if you need me: Yes, Metronom, I will be there.
Song of the Week – Bitter Moon – Lait Reversé – Episode 63
BITTER MOON are one of my fav bands right now. They are so refreshingly different. They are…you guessed it, from Switzerland and they rock or maybe better described as they rule. Lait Reversé is a bit 80’s in a god way – a very good way.
Song of the Week – The Regrettes – I Dare You – Episode 62
This is such a fun song. A bit stupid and simple – but that’s enough to make me happy. No regrets – we like The Regrettes- I Dare you is playing the US airwaves and we all know why.
Song of the Week – Clairo – Bags – Episode 61
Clairo will be dropping her debut Immunity on August 2. Expect to be attacked by Cairo and the music media celebrating her new approach to Pop/folk very very soon. Bags is a beautiful little song that deserves our attention.
