Bombay Bicycle Club - Feel

Bombay Bicycle Club come wheeling back with the new video for “Feel,” lifted from their latest album “So Long, See You Tomorrow.” The album was inspired by Jack Steadman’s travels around India and it seems the video follows suit. The video was directed by Bollywood music video Director Sumit Dutt and features some belly dancing lovelys. The lyrics fit perfectly with this vibrant, colourful scene and once again Bombay Bicycle Club think outside the box and bring something new to Hipsters’ doorsteps….. maybe now they’ll be trading in the fixie bikes for Rickshaws??

Black Light White Light - High Like A Hurricane

I was checking out some new music and came across this kaleidoscopic Scandinavian trio.  Black Light White Light are three guys from Denmark who show you the light through the storm with their new single ‘High Like A Hurricane’.  They’ve got this dynamic indie rock vibe to them.  Check out ‘High Like A Hurricane’ here and let me know if you agree.

Gentle Friendly ‘KAUA’I O’O A’A’ Album Review

Gentle Friendly are clearly experimentalists when creating their music. It seems to be made up of a live drum kit, some synths and vocals. The band unique and harmless sounding, with enough interesting sound design and song-writing to keep you tuned in from start to finish. The tracks, although each having its own flare, are fairly similar in that you can listen the whole album and it will flow perfectly into your ears. ‘Wild Grass’ is a great representation of the whole album. Ticking all the boxes in what makes this band great. Check out ‘Wild Grass’ below, I can only see good things for Gentle Friendly this summer.

Echo & The Bunnymen 'Meteorites' Album Review

Echo & The Bunnymen are a band that I am constantly reminded of by my Dad. He saw them before they saw them before they were accelerated into musical success at a student bar in his teens and says to this day they it was one of the best gigs he’s ever witnessed, so I have always had them on a pedestal in my mind without ever diving too much into their back catalogue. I saw this new release as my time to explore this band, I am not disappointed. Echo & The Bunnymen bring a lot to the table with this 12th album. The first track is a lot slower than what you’re used to; a longer, slower more build up type of track, laced with strings, guitars and backing vocals it is a nice ride into the album, however perhaps could have sat better towards the end of the album. The gem for me on this album are ‘Lovers On The Run’ which from listening to their old material is very much of their early tracks, lively, energetic and flawlessly catchy. The album as a whole is well worth a listen, giving a mixed bag of a naturally evolved sound from the band, trying new things, and also sticking to their old guns. Check out the video for 'Lovers On The Run' below:
