TweetShare One of the standout tracks from Wild Beasts’ exceptional third album “Smother”.  This is just gorgeous.  Le-Hiboo have been churning out exquisitely-shot videos this year like nobody else, rivaled only by Yours Truly and La Blogotheque.  Watch in full screen. (via)

TweetShareFuck me.  I missed this when Le-Hiboo posted it back in February but at first blush all I was hoping for when the vid stared was a wide angle shot, and hot dayum does it deliver.  Absolutely stunning.  If you haven’t heard The Dø’s (pronounced The Dough, as in Do-Re-Mi) amazing new album “Both Ways Open [...]

TweetShare Without doubt, the album you’re about to hear below is one of the best of 2011 so far. I can’t stress enough just how mind-blowing it is.  If you’ve heard Merril Garbus‘ debut album “BiRd-BrAiNs” you’ll know what to expect, but if you haven’t then holy shit are you in for a treat/mind fuck/listening [...]

TweetShare Recorded for Le-Hiboo, there’s not much more to say about this other than the fact that it’s gorgeous and the song is absolutely wonderful, I cannot wait for this album to come out. If you haven’t heard anything from the Merrill Garbus-led tUnE yArDs, you can hear the first single from her latest album [...]

TweetShare Mumford & Sons have been a round for a couple of years now, playing gigs in and around London along with buddies of the same scene like Johnny Flynn and Noah And The Whale, but they’ve only just (October 2009) released their debut album “Sigh No More”.  Polarising critics (some saying their music is [...]

TweetShare I posted Local Natives’ session with La Blogotheque a couple of weeks ago but today I’m actually going to post some of their other music.  Formerly known as Cavil At Rest whom they released an EP (“Cavil At Rest EP”) and an album (“Orion Way”) under back in 2006 and 2007, they changed their [...]
