New Bands

They are brainy (their biggest influences are ‘80s post punk pioneers Echo & the Bunnymen, The Smiths and the Cure, but also romantic poets William Blake, William Wordsworth, and novelist Aldous Huxley), artistic (two of them attended art school) and they like black and white aesthetic

Yeah, we, women, have heard this before!

The mixture of sounds and the composition makes you barely notice the way it changes to the next track until you realise it’s actually much darker. It feels angry. Though both of the songs have no vocals, you can absolutely tell the emotion. “…

This year the Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Miguel are three semi-experimental modern r&b guys mining a distractedly downbeat synth sound that would be Goth only there isn’t a guitar in sight and their entanglements is the horror of the banaility of lurve, I didn’t really like very much

Embry may be making music very distant from the exuberance of his last band, but in this electronica era his music sounds humble and genuine, with no superfluous arrangements, just as cozy as a warm wood cabin during a cold fall evening

“He makes pop music, remixes other artists, co-runs London clubnights Another Night and Comfortable Shoes, and has a huge love of music, largely from 1988-1996.”

The EP starts with the dynamic funky/soul/jazzy track ‘I Need a Man’, but her vocal range does not stop there, with ‘Do What You Want, Be What You Are’, she becomes a sultry smoky lounge singer in front of a wobbling organ doing sexy modulations with her voice, like a more dynamic Sade

I am not overwhelmed by the handful of songs I have heard but not because of the Scottish singer’s fulsome bellow, which has both a sweet undertow and a superb voice I hope they don’t refine out of existence. She better listen to Elton. But rather, I am not sure about the production, which sounds a little mainstream for a unique talent.

here comes news that Mike has formed a new band with the Music’s Rob Harvey… and no, I don’t know them either. but from Harvey has said don’t expect any vicious distillations of the cost of fame rapped in a thick accent

Whitley has that old time passion for rock music, and could discuss it all day between changing his one year olds diapers!!! But how good is he? Pretty excellent if the acoustic guitar break on the overwhelmingly moving and awesome “Calling All Gods” is anything to go by. These is a soaring big time rock anthem but it isn’t a self reflected glorifying song, at 8 minutes plus it takes its time to make its point.

The album is good, the song is awesome and Samantha Urbani is soooo hip (check the video below of her getting a lap dance) and cool that she is One Direction’s resident bad boy Zayn Malik. WHich makes her the envy of half the girls in the US of A.
