Real Estate @ Scala, London, Dec 6th 2011.
What? Words (ours at least) can’t describe our love for New Jersey’s Real Estate. Their second album ‘Days’ is a thing or rare, subtle, all encompassing beauty. They stole the show at their co-headline gig at The Garage with Domino label mates Twin Sister recently and will surely sound even better on the Scala’s booming speakers. Support comes from Leeds’ Spectrals.

Tech Coast – Stay EP
Check out this kinda gorgeous free EP from Philadelphia’s Tech Coast. Stream below and grab over at his bandcamp. No shortage of this sort of stuff out this year but this catches the jaded chillwave ear.

UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA @ XOYO, LONDON, 28TH NOV 2011.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra were back in town this evening to play the Rockfeedback night at XOYO in London’s bustling Shoreditch. The New Zealand / Portland three piece weren’t without their share of technical difficulties (broken strings, malfunctioning pedals, etc) but the ramshackle nature of the show did nothing to hide the brilliance of this band, as they tore through tracks from their self-titled, Fat Possum released, debut album.
