  • Chad Valley – Portugese Solid Summer

    Chad Valley – Portugese Solid Summer

    Chad Valley is the solo project of one Hugo Garnet David Manuel. He’s impressed us before as the big voiced front-man of one of Foals’ favourite fellow Oxford bands Jonquil. The love extends with Chad Valley recently serving up yet another beautiful remix (below) of Foals’ awesome ‘Spanish Sahara’ song. But first we concentrate on the man’s own work with one of his demo tracks ‘Portugese Solid Summer’ that he was kind enough to send over.

  • MillionYoung – Desperate Maeasures

    MillionYoung – Desperate Maeasures

    Back in March Florida’s Mike Diaz aka MillionYoung kindly gave us an exclusive track to offer up to you when we saw him dazzle at SXSW 2010. Since then he’s announced that his debut full length will come out in January 2011 via US label Arcade Sound. ‘Desperate Measures’ is a glimpse of things to come with the vocals turned down to haze and the production levels bumped up to HOUSE. Plenty more to come from this talent.

  • Harlem – Hippies

    Harlem – Hippies

    Harlem are an unashamedly ramshackle, heart on sleeve garage rock’n'roll band from Texas. We’ve been enamoured with them since seeing them tear it up in their hometown Austin at SXSW 2009 and leaving the show with their self-released debut Free Drugs. The band have now signed to Matador who released their second album Hippies a few months back. With even more hooks than it’s predecessor, welcome to the funnest record of the year.

  • Toro Y Moi – Leave Everywhere / London Debut

    Toro Y Moi – Leave Everywhere / London Debut

    Before you all call it a night for the weekend, here’s a timely reminder that Chaz Bundick aka Toro Y Moi is playing his debut UK Headline show at London’s Camp Basement this Monday July 19th. We really can’t speak highly enough of the 23 year old Colombian whizz kid. Along with washed out he spearheaded the whole chillwave movement and his new single ‘Leave Everywhere’ proves he can turn his hand to pretty much any sound.
