For 7 years I have been writing about music nearly daily as a hobby, as a passion project. I don’t get paid, I don’t do it for glory. I do it because I love music. I do it because I love musicians. I do it because I love being swept away into other worlds. I do it because I love feeling…

London outfit Filthy Boy recently signed with Stranger Records and are set to release their debut album ‘Smile That Won’t Go Down’ this April. I’m guessing the band are in a celebratory mood as they’ve just released a video for the album track ‘Jimmy Jammies’. Really liking it.

Here’s the studio version of Local Natives ‘Heavy Feet’ which they recently premiered live on KCRW.
Hummingbird, their new album is due out January 29.
Every once in a while a song comes along and leaves such an impact on you, you are literally left speechless and the only thing you still manage to do properly is to hit repeat over and over again. TORRES is the moniker of 22 year old singer-songwriter Mackenzie Scott, she hails from Nashville, Tennessee. This evening I stumbled upon ‘Honey’ and I’ve got to be honest, it has absolutely floored me and I’ve been struggling to stop playing it ever since. “This cannot happen again,” she begins, “twice in a year is too much.” she sings over a single guitar strum before lashing out the lines ”Honey, while you were ashing in your coffee, I was thinking of telling you’ve what you done to me.” Some heavy lines, and an overall brilliant track. Check it out.
Her debut album drops January 22.

Brooklyn artist Octo Octa just dropped this really sparkling, warped House number on his SoundCloud page. It’s called ‘So Lux’ and I will be playing it on repeat for the rest of the night. Too fresh.
Active Child’s Pat Grossi has recorded a beautifully sparse version of the gospel hymn ‘His Eye Is On The Sparrow’. The song was originally written in 1905 and has been covered by the likes of Marvin Gaye and Whitney Housten. The song does shimmer through the sparseness with Grossi’s falsetto sending chills.

Bastille’s ‘Bad Blood’, which is due out on March 4, is already one of the most anticipated upcoming releases of 2013. The London-based pop band, fronted by their phenomenally talented producer Dan Smith, are really living up to the hype on their glorious new single ‘Pompeii’. The track is wrapped with one of the most infectious hooks I’ve heard in quite some time, and Smith’s vocals just soar to Florence Welch like highs. They are going to be huge.

Paul Simon/Vampire Weekend vibes all over this new Born Ruffians track ‘With Her Shadow’. The Ontario four piece are set to release a new album at some point this year, but in the meantime check out their very summery and very catchy new single below.
