Joshua James – Build Me This
This one is for lovers of heartbreaking Americana. A list we can happily add our names to. Nebraska born Joshua James‘ second album Build Me This demonstrates the skills of a natural songwriter and storyteller. At 25 years old he’s only been writing songs for six years but you’d never be able to tell. It’s almost a little sickening how good he is!
For Fans Of: Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jason Isbell, Bright Eyes, The White Stripes.

Bear In Heaven – Beast Rest Forth Mouth
Ah the woozy psychedelic glory of Bear In Heaven is almost too much too take. Thanks to Rough Trade Record Shop for introducing us to this Brooklyn four-piece’s second album, Beast Rest Forth Mouth – we’re told to think East West North South regarding the title and a nod to the recurring number four theme and the crossroads association the number bears. Deep! Whichever musical turning these guys took, it was the right one.
For Fans Of: Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett), Secret Machines, The Flaming Lips.
