Knits & Pieces

Instead of my usual spiel on a single band I thought I would post a little mixed bag of things I have been enjoying as of late...

Yves Klein Blue are certain to go gangbusters this year with their shiny LA-recorded album Ragged & Ecstatic looking to build on the promise of last year's EP, which grafted a nice exotic flavour to Strokes and Libertines influences. Now, they are poppy as flip.

Make Up Your Mind

Goodnight Owl fall close to the more folktronic side of Whitley, or perhaps Josh Pyke fronting the Postal Service. Their tune Maps & Compasses has been racking up the play count on my side of the woods over the past few months.

Maps & Compasses

Here We Go Magic; I might be six months late to the party with these guys, but this new project by Luke Temple has recieved a lot of acclaim, adding weight to the ancient proverb:

"When in doubt as a solo artist, think up a cool sounding, grammatically questionable band name under which to peddle your wares and success will be yours."
