Brand spanking new from Midlake, an American band from Texas. Their
previous album 'The Trials of Van Occupanther' was excellent and this
one maintains the high standard.

Sin Fang Bous is a relative unknown Icelandic guy called Sindri Már
Sigfússon, he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page as of writing.

The Veil's album 'Sun Gangs' was released just before the summer and I
keep coming back to it. I reckon it's one of the best indy/alt rock
releases this year.

Released earlier this year, 'Wall Of Arms' is the 2nd album from
british indie band The Maccabees. The whole album is really strong,
its not just regular old indie as it's got trumpets and horns and all
sorts - it was produced by Markus Dravs who has worked with Bjork and
also with Arcade Fire on their album 'Neon Bible' (which is also
great) and explains a lot.

These guys seem to be getting a lot of hype at the moment. Especially
just having been nominated for the coveted Mercury Music Prize.
Electro tinged indie does seem to be popular at the moment though.
Personally I really like 'Strobe'...

Whitest Boy Alive are a hugely underated. Their music is stripped down rock/pop/funk.
Their singer & guitarist Erlend Øye is also in another band I love, Kings of Convenience. 'Dreams' was released in November last year and simply didn't receive the recognition it deserved. The video for their track 'Golden Cage' is worth a watch purely for all the optical illusions and tricks...Comments [0]
