ian brown - 'in the year 2525'

Tweet

Now this is a cover version.

small feet - 'rivers'

Tweet

Swedish folk music that just soars and soars. Utterly beautiful.

the smoking trees - 'best friend'

Tweet

I love the 60s vibe to this tune. Superb!

lone wolf - 'give up'

Tweet

A superb tune in anybody's language.

ultimate painting - 'out in the cold'

Tweet

I'd never heard of this band until the weekend but their new album 'Green Lanes' has certainly piqued my interest. Very fresh and some great guitar work.

langhorne slim - 'whisperin''

Tweet

If you're a fan of Conor Oberst then I think you'll love Langhorne Slim's new album a lot. I love the freshness of the sound and the infectious choruses. Great stuff.

jack + eliza - 'secrets'

Tweet

There are huge nods to 60s girl band tunes with this song. I love it.

frank turner - 'angel islington'

Tweet

I've been listening to his new album this morning and feel the need to share this the first track from it. I managed to track down a session he did for an Aussie radio station and if anything it's better than the album version. Anyway, here it is.

albert hammond jr - 'power hungry'

Tweet

Better known as the keyboardist with The Strokes, Albert Hammond Jr has recently released a solo album and its been very well received. I'm not surprised either with top tunes like this one.

health - 'l.a. looks'

Tweet

I've been listening to their new album this evening and for me this is the stand-out track from it. It's a kind of power pop that reminds me in part of Rainbow Arabia (whatever happened to them?)

oh sister - 'for the dales'

Tweet

Taken from her Watch the Water E.P. it's a bold, ambitious tune that shows that folk music isn't all ethereal whimsy, it can pack a punch too.

gloams - 'lint e.p.'

Tweet

I was kindly sent this link from the Manchester band and it comes with  free download too. If instrumental electronica with wonderfully understated drum-and-bass programming is your thing then you need to listen to this. 

fka twigs - 'figure 8 (zane lowe beats1 premiere + interview)'

Tweet

She's been missed but the lovely FKA Twigs is back with a new tune.

regal degal - 'defense'

Tweet

This is a pretty cool tune.

better daze - 'stay right here'

Tweet

It's a trip-hop kind of day. 

jane weaver - 'argent (tom furse extrapolation)'

Tweet

Another beautifully mellow track for this gorgeous Sunday.

lakker - 'halite'

Tweet

This is a very lovely ambient piece of electronica. 

beak> - 'the meader'

Tweet

He may come across as a curmudgeonly sod at times on social media but Geoff Barrow talks a lot of sense, especially about performing rights, royalties and suchlike. He's also got a knack for offbeat but catchy tunes. This is him with his band Beak> taken from their new EP.

a grave with no name - 'leaving'

Tweet

Here's a very blissful Sunday record.
