There’s a jangled brush in “The Dive,” the lead track on Los Angeles band Fool’s Gold’s sophomore release “Leave No Trace.” It’s a tightly confined cross-breed of Western African harmonies and contemporary pop aesthetics. That should sound familiar: it isn’t too far off the well-worn path already travelled by Talking Heads and, even more recently, [...]

While I was going through LBYB’s SXSW list, I listened to the first few seconds of each track. If you can get me at “hello,” then I’m yours. All I needed to hear was that first bass drumbeat of Superhumanoids’ track “Persona”, and I knew I was going to like it. Then in walked that [...]
Cover versions. The musical equivalent of marmite, you either hate ‘em or love ‘em. I have to admit I have a soft spot for a good cover version. To me that would be one that retains some of the character of the original but allowing the covering artist to stamp their own authority on it. [...]
Dear Datarock, I’m pretty sure if you gave me a chance, I think we could be best friends. Love always, Leish. I’ve always had some weird obsession with Datarock, probably because their single “Computer Camp Love” takes a whole scene out of “Revenge of the Nerds”, and makes it into a catchy ass dance song.

Noah’s hair is getting bigger. His real name isn’t Noah (it’s Charlie) but it’s still getting bigger. Maybe he’s been channeling David Byrne’s talent through his hair considering that “L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.” (to me) sounds like a Talking Heads tune, and they both have/had wavy hair, but that might just be me. Just me? The song first [...]
It hasn’t even been two weeks since I posted Noah And The Whale’s first new song from their upcoming third album (and has since been played more than 47,000 times) and there’s another new tune from the London five-piece. This time around it’s nowhere near as upbeat and catchy as L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N., but it’s still a [...]
Taken from their upcoming third album “Last Night On Earth” set to drop in March, “L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.” is our first listen at what we can expect from the quintet outta London. I was big into these guys when their first album “Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down” was released back in 2007 and then kinda went [...]
