Foxes ‘Let Go For Tonight’

May 17, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I called it ages ago: Foxes, also known as British musician Louisa Rose Allen, is going to reach Foster The People level of mainstream success, and it appears that she is already well on her way. The hype levels surrounding her single ‘Youth’ has reached a fever pitch, due in no small part to its inclusion on quite a few television shows as well as a constant stream of blog posts.

Of Monsters And Men ‘Little Talks’

May 15, 2012 by Lachy 1 Comment

f Iceland is anything like how I imagine it in my head then it is the coolest place in the world.

Since getting my hands on it I have become absolutely obsessed with one song in particular, ’Little Talks’.

In keeping with this image the band have been releasing a constant stream of material from their upcoming album ‘Heaven’, which is out on the 29th of this month. The latest of these songs is called ’We Can’t Be Beat’, and it displays a bit of a different side to the outfit, featuring Robin Pecknold on backing vocals and much softer instrumentation than we’re used to hearing from the American band. It’s rather beautiful.
