what’s currently dominating our stereo

  • Wavves – King Of The Beach

    Wavves – King Of The Beach

    So Wavves’ Nathan Williams is pretty famous in the indie world for splitting opinions (noisy shit or finger on the pulse genius?) and for having a drug n booze induced on stage breakdown of sorts during his set at Primavera festival in 2009. While we enjoyed snippets (‘So Bored’) of his 2009 self-titled debut we were hardly bowled over by the whole tin can tape hiss affair. On his new album for Bella Union however, the self proclaimed ‘King Of The Beach’ seems to have upped his game considerably.

  • Dog Is Dead – Young

    Dog Is Dead – Young

    Dog Is Dead are an aspiring new five piece who have taken the Nottingham music scene by storm and look set to extend their success further afield with their self-released second single ‘Young’ (video after the jump – password = boggle). The band released their debut single ‘Glockenspiel Song’ to acclaim back in June, were the only unsigned band to have their Glastonbury appearance broadcast by the BBC and have the likes of Radio 1′s Huw Stephens leading their fanfare. For us, one of the recent standouts in a so hot right now UK folk/pop scene.

    Dylan LeBlanc – Pauper’s Field

    Meet one of Rough Trade Records’ latest signings, 19 year old Dylan LeBlanc from North-West Louisiana. Dylan spent his time growing up between Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana and Muscle Shoals, Alabama. He’s just finished cutting his debut album ‘Pauper’s Field’ with Grammy winner Trina Shoemaker, due out Aug 23rd. The record is a modern Americana triumph, oozing experience, deftness of touch and talent beyond his years.

  • Dominant Legs – Clawing Out The Walls

    Dominant Legs – Clawing Out The Walls

    Dominant Legs is the new band of ex-Girls guitarist Ryan Lynch and fellow San-Franciscan Hannah Hunt. Lynch steps up to the mic with a voice that’s been kept to himself for too long and the music combines the sun kissed guitar tones that serve Girls so well with some nice keys presumably courtesy of Hunt and a generally light vibe. Summer in a song.

    For Fans Of: Girls, Kisses, Belle & Sebastian. // more
