Justice – Access All Arenas
For Parisian duo Justice to try and top their last live album, ‘Across The Universe’, it was always going to be a tall order. For one, their new live album ‘Access All Arenas’ doesn’t have the brilliantly produced Romain Gavras documentary to invite you into the world of a touring electronic act. And secondly: ‘Access...
James Blake Live at Coachella 2013
As anyone who’s been paying attention may have realised, we absolutely love James Blake’s new album. Overgrown is a phenomenally confident step forward from the producer’s self-titled debut album – an emotionally rich, experimental and R&B-leaning record without a bad track to speak of.
The National – Demons
The dulcet tones of The National are back once again. Demons is the first single and video from their sixth album Trouble Will Find Me, released on May 21st. Despite being a very apt song title for the band, Demons is quite and upbeat (for them) tune from the masters of dark and melancholic indie rock. The...
Kurt Vile – Walking On A Pretty Day
There’s something very poetic in the simplicity of Kurt Vile’s music. His music is a spacious, becalming mix of folk ballads and stoner rock, it’s simple and effective without ever feeling preachy. It is this attitude that Mr Vile has always brought to his work, he’s in a lucky position to be able to be...
Shlohmo – Bo Peep (Do U Right) ft. Jeremih
In conjunction with Adidas, the brilliant bunch at Yours Truly have been running an amazing series of music videos under the guise Songs From Scratch. There have been a couple of astounding duos already, however the latest two sees some ex-collaborators get together again. Many of you might remember when Shlomo remixed Jeremih’s Fuck You All...
Pariah – Signal Loss
We haven’t heard from Londoner and R&S labelmate Pariah for a while now. That is not to say he hasn’t been busy since his 2010 Safehouses EP, with a bunch of releases under his Karenn moniker and a whole heap of touring. It’s great to see a string of new tracks though, the latest being...
James Blake – Retrograde
James Blake – Retrograde “Retrograde”, the first single from James Blake’s forthcoming Overgrown, is a straight-up soul crooner where his characteristic rich production.

Coma – Hoooooray
Marius Bubat and Georg Conrad are a duo signed to the audacious label Kompakt. They’re hailed as “purveyors of fine Cologne stomp since 2007″ and make some really interesting tunes. Their latest effort Hoooooray is a cracking, bouncy house tune accompanied by a colourful graphic-novel style film clip. These boys are definitely on the radar...
Foals – Holy Fire
Oxford five-piece Foals have swiftly followed up Total Life Forever with their most recent album Holy Fire. Their debut, 2008’s Antidotes, held firm as an awkwardly positioned genre defining sound, falling into the subgenre of “math-rock”, and 2010’s Total Life Forever successfully expanded their palette of largely leftfield influences with a Mercury Prize nomination as...
Short Stories – On The Way
Koreless and Sampha have teamed up to produce a great little track under the moniker Short Stories. The producer and singer (who you might recognise his distinct style from SBTRKT) have combined forces to produce an altogether catchy track. It may sound a bit like SBTRKT at times however, that’s not really a bad thing....
Toro Y Moi – Say That
Chaz Bundick can come across as a bit of a drifter. He played a beatmaker role on Toro Y Moi’s first record Causers of This, grown-up songcrafter on 2011′s follow-up Underneath The Pine, and a dancefloor hedonist with his dance project Les Sins. “Say That” is the latest tune to be teased from Toro Y Moi’s forthcoming Anything in Return,...
