Blame the weatherman...

This is the time for year-end lists and even though I’m not going to compile any myself, it doesn’t prevent me from glancing through others. Especially to see if there are artists I’ve completely ignored, but “need” to check out before the year is over…and of course there are. One of those artists is James Blake, whom I’ve obviously heard on the radio etc., but never bothered checking out. Now that I’ve given his self-titled debut a listen, I fully understand why I never bothered. Dull is the first word that comes to mind…hopefully the rest of the “cannot miss and oh so fabulous albums of 2011” are less of a disappointment?

Ever heard of back-ups? Not funny when your computer breaks down halfway through the process of recording new songs; which was exactly what Cassolette just experienced. This track was the only one that survived, though I doubt the weatherman was to blame for the computer problems!

Check out the Matinée Recordings advent calendar. A nice freebie track is posted every day leading up to Christmas and gives you the perfect opportunity to be introduced to the label’s many fine artists.

Speaking of Matinée Recordings; The terrific Azure Blue debut album Rule Of Thirds is now available in the Matinée shop.

This new track by School of Seven Bells has finally brought Chris back from his hiatus (although he doesn't seem sure if it will last for long).

Stay heavy...


Check out a-side/lead track (and somewhat Camera Obscura inspired) Stay Heavy from Cassolette's forthcoming 7" vinyl (coming soon on Cloudberry Records). If such a term as "classic indie pop sound" exists; now is the time to use is. Just sweet! A few more songs are free to download via bandcamp.

Our cars...

Yesterday I listened a lot to Cassolette; an American indie pop band playing...well...sweet indie pop songs. A number of songs are free to download via bandcamp. An EP will be out on Anorak Records some time later this year...
