October, 2011
Listen: First Aid Kit – The Lion’s Roar
Following their 2010 debut ‘The Big Black & The Blue’, First Aid Kit have revealed the first track to be taken from their second album ‘The Lion’s Roar’.
AIM Independent Music Awards announce shortlist
The full shortlist for the inaugural AIM Independent Music Awards has been revealed.
[Premiere] Watch: Pandr Eyez – Eyes On You
The title track to Pandr Eyez forthcoming EP, ‘Eyes On You’ has a brand new video.
Watch: The Horrors – I Can See Through You
‘I Can See Through You’ is the latest kaleidoscopic video from The Horrors.
The Duke Spirit – Bruiser
An album that simply pulses with the self-assurance of a band that knew exactly what sound they were after on this record, and got as close as they could to capturing it.
Martyn – Ghost People
On Ghost People, Martyn takes a look at both the present climate of house and techno, but more importantly the vacuous DJ culture that has inspired this sophomore LP.
Radiohead – TKOL RMX 1234567
TKOL RMX 1234567 completes Radiohead’s long-standing dalliance with electronic and dance music. Hardly faultless, the results bridge the gaps that made the album an underwhelming experience at times, creating a fascinating funhouse mirror image of The King of Limbs.
Jenny O – Home EP
Like a wam fireplace, ‘Home’ is a warming and transfixing EP to curl up with, and just in time for Autumn too. Danny Wadeson reviews.
Emmy the Great – The Fleece, Bristol, 11/10/11
The blatant adoration of Emmy the Great stands as testament to her music’s irresistible pull and in the live sweepstakes she pulls trumps every time, writes Tiffany Daniels.
Watch: S.C.U.M. – Whitechapel (Best Fit Session)
We go all greyscale for a bare bones studio session with South London psych-gazers on the standout closing track of their debut record.

After a brilliant performance on a star-studded Jools billing, London MC Ghostpoet unveils headline show at Koko set for February 2012.
Amusement – Run Through The Door // Song Of The Day #344
Today’s SOTD from Croydon duo Amusement sounds like a 90s dance classic you somehow must have missed, with lyrics that reads like an internal monologue of confused longing from across the other side of the dancefloor.
Watch: Acid Glasses – JPEG Hoarder
‘JPEG Hoarder’ is the b-side to Acid Glasses’ new single. While ‘My Pale Garden’ is a distorted take on a Beatles-esque pop hit, this track channels Jim Morrison’s ghost via the help of a ouija board – oh and probably a sampler or two as well.
“I’m not much of an interpretative dancer”: Catching up with Josh T. Pearson – Part Two
Part Two of The Line of Best Fit’s interview with the one and only Josh T Pearson, where we talk about finishing the record, The Dude and the first time he heard ‘The Sound of Silence’.
Watch: Prince Rama – Golden Silence
Brooklyn’s Prince Rama unleash their latest hypnotic, psychedelic video for ‘Golden Silence’ taken from their latest album, Trust Now.
