On Repeat: Magic Kids – Hey Boy
Magic Kids are from Memphis, Tennessee and feature members of The Barbaras and Girls of the Gravitron. They’re currently out on the road in the U.S. with one of our favourite bands Girls and they’ve got a split 7″ due out in the new year with another of our favourite bands The Smith Westerns. Magic Kids make beautiful Brian Wilson influenced, vocal driven pop which induces a jaw aching grin upon all who cross its path. Be warned.
For Fans Of: Brian Wilson, Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele, Phil Spector. // more

On Repeat: Friendly Fires – I’m Good I’m Gone (Lykke Li Cover)
We’re positively bubbling over with excitement ahead of Friday’s Friendly Fires curated gig at The Coronet which promises to be one of the shows of the year. So what better time to dip into some festive spirit and share this Friendly Fires cover of Lykke Li’s mighty ‘I’m Good I’m Gone’ tune from 2008. Sure we still prefer the original but this sounds fresh.

On Repeat: Spoon – Written In Reverse
Austin’s Spoon are back with a new single, ‘Written In Reverse’, taken from the album ‘Transference’ which follows on Jan 19th 2010. ‘Written In Reverse’ is trademark Spoon but a bit meaner and tighter if possible. All driving drums, jagged guitars, thumped out piano lines and snarled vocals. Apparently Britt Daniels’ (vocals) mum is worried they’re getting “a bit too metal”!
