Glen Hansard ‘Philander’

April 11, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Short of a new album from The Frames (which is looking increasingly unlikely to ever happen), a new Glen Hansard solo album is the best news I could have hoped for from the Irish singer/songwriter. The album is called ‘Rhyme And Response’, and it’s out June 19th. This is the first single from it, ’Philander’.

Tom Rosenthal ‘Forgets Slowly’

April 10, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

There’s been a bit of a lack of new music that interests me over the last week, so in the interests of keeping the blog rolling here’s another track from Tom Rosenthal, who I posted about a little while ago and whose music I have fallen in love with. This time the song is called ’Forgets Slowly’.

JJ ‘Beautiful Life’

April 5, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Despite my continuing refusal to use lowercase ‘J’s, I’m actually a really big fan of the Swedish duo. Despite hitting some mainstream success with earlier releases the band is still a bit of a mystery, and in typical fashion they’ve released a new song onto the internet out of nowhere, entitled ’Beautiful Life’. Here it is.

Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros ‘That’s What’s Up’

April 3, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Last week Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros gave us the first taste of their upcoming album ‘Here’, the single ‘Man On Fire’. Wasting no time, the band have released the second song from the album, ‘That’s What’s Up’. It’s a bit more of a jam than ‘Man On Fire’, and really brings back good memories of seeing the band play live, where it seemed like they were all just improvising everything they played and having a great time. There’s a definite sense of creative freedom here. Have a listen.

Tom Milek ‘Vicious Curves’

March 31, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Melbourne musician Tom Milek plays some really really gorgeous music, he’s just released his debut EP, and he’s about to tour around Australia. That’s definitely a winning combination. The EP in question is called ‘Love And Ambition’, and the title sums up Tom’s music quite well: it would be a bit cliched if it was so genuine and so deftly executed. As it is however he seems a talented and honest musician capable of some utterly stunning moments of music, as is exemplified by his single ‘Vicious Curves’.
