friday i’m in love with the disco sirens.

-photo from amachron.com

disco sirens is a single off midfield general’s latest album which has been out for a while now.

midfield general is damien harris, producer and owner of skint records.

It took him 8 years to release his sophomore album and this track is co-produced by xavier de rosnay (Justice)

So catch the bassline which is downright dirty and hard and bangin’.

The Justice influence is over the top.

This track really made me go kinda nuts at first.

enjoy the rest of the remixes with it.

sunday sounds with laura marling.

Laura Marling is the precocious girl in the photo above.

I repeat. She sings wayyy beyond her age.

She even sounds like shes been at it for ages with such a polished sound, but isn’t even in her 20s.

We have mentioned her here before when she collaborated with the mystery jets for a fabulous track.

Enough with the trivia and lets talk about her music.

Her songs are an amalgamation of folk and pop’s utter goodness which are incredibly charming , provocative, disarming and intimate.

Those are the perfect ingredients for a sunday sound.

So get used to her name.

saturday shoegaze with m83.

shoegaze needs your time.

shoegaze always needs time.

shoegaze makes you think. experiment, feel, touch and imagine.

Of the present, the future, and definitely in retrospect.

shoegaze is not music you listen to when you are fiery, agitated or impatient.

Its music to be appreciated when you feel like embracing and nestling in the world and life you dont quite get at times.

And in more recent times, the shoegaze m83 have been producing is magic.

Yes. Magic… Amazing. Spectacular.

Graveyard girl video

Saturdays = Youth is the latest offering by m83 which was released by mute records this week.

This album is definitely the easiest to appreciate as it is less experimental, more poppy and has more of a shoegaze feel. But dont deny them of their past work as many have overlooked. This new album just happens to be in a direction that will allow more people to get them.

Remember, take your time with m83 and you will adore them to bits.

friday i’m in love: Yelle!

yelle has been stirring so much heat in france im pretty embarrassed that i’m only featuring her now.

Je veux te voir, the hit single which shot her to fame in 2006 is one hell of a dance track. And i totally get why she and her 80s rewind worth of tracks are as easy on the ears as it is to dance to on a greasy sweaty dirty friday evening.

Shes a huge mainstream hipster in france and with such energy and vibrancy she’s gonna take over the world. Be careful..

A Cause Des Garcons Video

Je Veux Te Voir Video

Perfect for a friday i’m in love spot shes pure dance dance dance till you faint.

Her latest album is called pop up and beg, borrow or steal you have to have a listen.

Grab her hottest track at the moment A cause des garcons‘ which has even kitsune swooning over her.

Watch the 2 videos. now.

Portishead - ‘Third’.

Portishead with their 3rd album named….Third.

It has been been 10 years.

I was a pre-pubescent teen the last time these legends of trip-hop came out with a new album.

Since then its been mere glimpses, from their solo pursuits to covering the serge gainsbourg along the way.

With such a faint and numbing feel to them, its hard to imagine them straying too far from what has brought them such critical acclaim.

Yet, third seems to stem from a separate vein from their first 2 records dummy and portishead.

The image of trip-hop and the musical landscape, with fickle preferences of the people have evolved tremendously over the decade and i dont think you can expect any band to produce the same vibrations after such a long period of time.

Well, its not that Portishead was one to clamor for praise and hope for mainstream loving, but third has definitely shown their evolution thus far.

Portishead have never failed to produce dark, dirty, desolate imagery, with time practically coming to a standstill. Even with a decade of evolution and a different sound, they still manage to do that to me with most tracks from third.

And i applaud them for their ability to produce such an intense vibe with different strokes.

Its been a while and i’m grateful they are back.
