Moving blog...

I recently discovered a new blogging platform that I like the look of and should encourage me to post more regularly.

So if you are interested in following my musical discoveries point your browser to...

I'll leave this blogspot open for a while in case I change my mind ;-)

Lone 'Lemurian'

Lone lists two of his greatest influences on his music as Boards of Canada and Madlib. Which I guess kind of makes sense as his sound is a cross between electronica and hip hop. It's an interesting combination, he pulls it off really well.

The whole album, named 'Lemurian', is great. In particular this track 'Banyan Drive'...

Friendly Fires

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'...

Bibio

Bibio is difficult to pigeonhole, his music is electronic, folk inspried, some call it 'folktronic'. I just call it good.

Atmosphere - Say Hey There

Hip hop from 2005 on the album 'You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having'...

The Moments - To You With Love

Beautifully sampled by J Dilla for his Donuts album on the track 'Last Donut of the Night'...



Here's the Dilla take...

Passion Pit

This is one of those bands I should find really annoying but I don't.

I guess they fall somewhere in between MGMT and hot chip.

Electronic, catchy, a little cheesey, but very cool.

This is I've got your number...
