SLEIGH BELLS - COMEBACK KID (Mom + Pop)
Yeowzers.
Sleigh Bells are at risk, at times, of perfectly impersonating a Game Boy game soudtrack at times, but that’s a good thing…
…This track is on their second LP, called Reign of Terror, out on Jan 21.

BEAR CAVALRY - CUSTOM HANDS
The PR says “Horn Section and Afro beats”…but don’t read too much into that.
If you’re into bands being tipped for great things, these guys will probably already be on your radar…but if you haven’t got a radar (whatever that is) take a listen.
It’s just 75p.

They’re from Oxford.

Princess Chelsea — Cigarette Duet
The Cigarette Duet by princesschelsea
Currently sitting pretty at no.1 of the 95BFM Top Ten chart this week, Princess Chelsea pulls out a belter feat Jonathan Brunette on guitar. Of course, anything that has to do with the Brunettes is automatically amaz.*
Check out some of her crazy-ass videos at her MySpace here (ignore the fact it’s on MySpace though).

WatchCraze and Hoax - Wait For Me
We get CDs delivered all the bloody time. Mostly, if they have bad artwork, they go in the bin but we chanced our arm with this one and it came out surprisingly good / fresh / hot…(well, basically).
This superb video was shot by Bullion and the tune comes out June 25. Find out more about Craze and Hoax here.

Cushtilla’s ‘50bpms in 40 Minutes’ Mix (House-Bass Music-Footwork-D&B) by Cushtilla on Mixcloud
I got Ableton Live 8 for work, and whilst I was on holiday in the US this week, I put a little mix together. It’s a bunch of music I’ve been enjoying over the last year, from house (Neon Jung, Kenton Slash Demon, Axel Boman), some techno-y/bass music-y...

Fleet Foxes free download
Fleet Foxes - Grown Ocean by subpop
The lovely people at Sub Pop are lovely*. So lovely in fact, that they’ve made this track available for free. It’s called Grown Ocean and it’s taken off their second album entitled Helplessness Blues which was released only the other day. Enjoy.
*It’s likened to a man-crush (we love you too Bella Union).

Not only does this guy draw stuff with a creative zeal, produce his own music (in his own studio), this Canadian is a songwriter’s songwriter. With a bit of reverb on his voice and a six string, he produces gems like Sara.

i really love this. it gives me inspirational thoughts. a type of a song that tells me “who says i can’t run the boston marathon?!” or “i’ll figure a way out of this prison!” or “the girl...
