james blake - retrograde

blake is back.

not long after a rumour began that james blake had a new single, zane lowe got his hands on him.

powerful presence.

sharp, restless synth lines.

its a winner.

Keaton Henson

somewhat surprisingly for a singer/songwriter henson hates singing infront of people & due to this he has only ever played one gig. this makes performing at the upcoming radio 1 festive festival on monday an even more tempting gig to watch or listen to live. championed by zane lowe hensons self released debut album Dear.. is also well worth a listen.

Tee

funeral suits.

huw stevens pointed me towards this the other night when standing in for zane. irish trio funeral suits. tracks called 'colour fader'. obvious influences include mgmt & temper trap. a lovely song. looking forward to hearing more of these. album release date unknown as yet but will be this year.

birdy - skinny love cover.

wow. i hate day time radio. but after listening to gill scott-herons album 3 times in a row on a journey this morning i needed a break. i put on radio 1 (with the hot but annoying fearne cotton) and was mesmerized by this. a cover of the amazing bon iver track 'skinny love' (posted in the past by myself as one of my all time favourite tracks). im all for this new folk movement. the fact this relatively unknown birdy is 14 years of age and can produce this defies belief.
