Really good new British music from really good writers who live in the mp3 blog world. This feature reoccurs fortnightly-ish.

Music For Robots recommends To My Boy with some of the finest music writing of the year “this is the only band in whose hands I’d trust my life. They’ll flip some switches, drop some science on the dancefloor and kickstart the artificial gravity party. It’s about time someone made a fun record without being so nu rave about it.” Palm’s Out Sounds say it’s a song abour “…our potential for founding a utopia in spaaaaccceee…”.

North America get’s it’s teeth into Los Campesinos, a band I’ve been championing for a number of months. Chromewaves says “they’re ridiculously cute and energetic and their sound is awash in instrumentation, shoutalongs and hand claps”.

Some music from my some-time home-town Sheffield. It’s Song’s of Green Pheasant on My Old Kentucky Blog … “Gyllyng Street is the perfect album to have playing in your car while you lay on the hood, looking up at the stars, reflecting on life.”

Eugene McGuinness’ debut album is out now and it’s getting some very positive reviews. I was privileged enough to attend his album launch, and he’s a top bloke, which is even better. Happy Clap says he has “an assured and almost certainly inherent ability to wrap polysyllabic tongue-twisters around skittering percussion and deftly strummed acoustic guitar lines as if the three were born together in a litter”

That’s all for now, I hope you are feeling a little more tuned-up. Enjoy your weekends wherever you may be.
