It’s been a while since I did a music post and found an album that grabbed me, and here’s one that’s just been released that I’m liking a lot. Blood Orange’s (Dev Hynes) new album Freetown Sound clocks in at just under an hour in length with 17 tracks. Hynes is the […]

What’s New In Music
New Music Monday : Lapsley’s Long Way Home
I loved Lapsley‘s (Holly Lapsley Fletcher) music from the first moment I heard her track Falling Short. She’s finally released the twelve track Long Way Home after drip feeding single after single. Lapsley is a young artist (only 19 years old) who sounds like she’s been around for a […]
New Music Monday : Bat For Lashes : I Do
A haunting old school ditty with a delectable ambience is how I’d describe the new track from Bat For Lashes (aka Natasha Khan) called I Do. It’s short, sweet and rather lovely with a lilting harp and wedding imagery. I suppose we need to wait until […]
New Music Monday : James Blake : Modern Soul
I’ve been waiting for the first track in 2016 to hit me hard and this is it – Modern Soul from James Blake. If you loved his single Renegade from the album Overgrown then this will probably be right up your alley too. James Blake has one of those strangely […]
New Music Monday : Adele’s 25 : Playing It Safe And Breaking Records
Well Adele Adkins has come a long way from those 19 days when her tunes first attracted attention. Debut album 19 featured a handful of great songs – Daydreamer, Chasing Pavements, Melt My Heart To Stone and the beautiful Dylan cover Make You Feel My Love. With her breakthrough […]
New Music Monday : Fat Freddy’s Drop : Bay
Fat Freddy’s Drop have a new album out and it’s making me incredibly homesick for New Zealand. Fat Freddy’s Drop are a popular act in the Antipodes and there was a time when every kiwi backyard BBQ was playing Wandering Eye from first album Based On A True […]
New Music Monday : Tame Impala’s New Album : Currents
Currents, Tame Impala‘s highly anticipated album (by me anyway) has hit the shelves. I adore their psychedelic schtick and couldn’t wait to hear Currents in its entirety. The first two singles are perfect of course. The beat driven Let It Happen and the soulful Cause I’m A Man. […]
New Music Monday : Killer New Foals Track : What Went Down
Foals are one of my favourite bands so I couldn’t wait to hear their first track What Went Down from the upcoming album of the same name. Recorded in France, it will be released on August 28. According to the NME, Yannis Philippakis the lead […]
New Music Monday : How Big How Blue How Beautiful : Florence And The Machine
Florence and the Machine‘s new album How Big How Blue How Beautiful saw the light at the beginning of the month after the drip feeding of a slew of singles. Florence intrigues me and I’m always interested to see in what direction she’s travelling in. Who […]
New Music Monday : Jamie xx : In Colour : Oh My Gosh It’s Good
In Colour is already one of my favourite albums of the year so far and I’ve only listened to it twice. It’s from Jamie xx (the producer of The XX). I adore the recently released single from the album – Loud Places that I’ve already written about featuring […]
New Music Monday : Jamie xx ft Romy : Loud Places
If you’re missing The xx and those gorgeous vocals of band member Romy Madley Croft then you’ll love Loud Places. It’s taken from Jamie xx‘s (the producer on The xx) upcoming album In Colour. Where The xx, are introspective and hushed, this takes on a slightly happier tone. It […]
New Music Monday : Blur : The Magic Whip : Woo Hoo
So Blur have a new album out – The Magic Whip, their first record of new material since 2003’s Think Tank. Blur have always written great songs that riffed on popular culture, cannily tapping the eccentricities of the time. They’re also crowd pleasers at festivals with […]
