Destroyer - Kaputt

Destroyer - Kaputt. This is the latest album from Destroyer. Destroyer is an artist who I can honestly say is completely different to anybody else I've ever come across. The influences in amongst the meandering songs are varied and vastly cultured. The album is slow and a definite grower. One of the stand-out tracks on the album is Blue Eyes if only for it's floaty nature and rhythm.



Bon Iver - Bon Iver

Bon Iver - Bon Iver. The new album from Bon Iver is once again truly breathtaking. It feels like the sound has been beefed up a bit since the popular For Emma, Forever Ago. The new album has a certain grandeur about it and benefits from this extra production. Lyrically it is again outstanding, with lyrics such as "And at once I knew I was not magnificent" demonstrating this perfectly. Take a moment.



No Age - Glitter

No Age - Glitter. This track is wicked. Unfortunately I stumbled onto this band a little late. It's one of them where you wish you were around at the beginning because it sounds like a lot of fun!



Enjoy...

SBTRKT - SBTRKT

SBTRKT - SBTRKT. This album has been widely reviewed across the web and the general consensus is good. A melancholic-post-dub-step triumph.


Washed Out - Within and Without

Washed Out - Within and Without. The new album from Washed Out which I cannot recommend enough. Truly chilled out and occasionally breathtakingly brilliant.
