A great bass line. That's the secret. A jazzy version of Roxy Music mixed with Bon Iver. Album is called Big Inner. White is a great fan of Randy Newman. I am a big fan of both.
Dutch Uncles are an indie rock band from Marple, England. They are known for their use of atypical time signatures within a pop context. Their influences includes several bands such as King Crimson, Steve Reich, XTC and Talking Heads. May I add Sparks? Flexxin is taken from the album Out of Touch in the Wild. Great indie dance.
Edinburgh band The Ok Social Club maybe was impressed by our Dutch word "gezellig". It means something like cozy or comfortable. It's the new single taken from their debut album Nothing In Common.
Spring is coming. That's the first thing that comes to mind listening to this song and watching the video. The new album from Woods is called Bend Beyond, via Woods' own Woodsist record label.
It's been 4 years since Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. French band Phoenix is back with the new song Entertainment, taken from the album Bankrupt!. Phoenix will play various major music festivals across the world in support of the new album.
Punk rock with bluesy and stoner rock influences. That's Drenge. Talented duo from Derbyshire, UK. They came up with their name after becoming obsessed with Dogme 95 and avant-garde Danish cinema, and Denmark in general. Watch Bloodsports.
He's coming to North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam soon! Jimi, Lenny and the Stones are fighting for the rights to be his father. A great guitar legend (soon). From his first studio album: Blak & Blu.
Hutch Harris, Kathy Foster and Westin Glass are The Thermals. For years now ; ) And we are fan. For years now ; )

New band. First album (yeah from 2012, I know): The sparrow. No, it's not David Byrne. Lawrence Arabia is the pseudonym of James Milne, born 1981 in Christchurch, New Zealand. A former member of The Ruby Suns.
Asy and Cloe are Chaos Chaos. Cloe: we're sick of listening to albums where every song sounds similar. We believe songs should each be their own entity, so we treated the songs like people, each with different personalities, and tried to make each song as extreme as it could be. It was a huge challenge to fully embody the mood and atmosphere of every song, but it was our goal to test ourselves by putting ourselves in an uncomfortable place.
Laura Mvula's debut album is coming soon. She is a classicly schooled jazz singer. She is the title of her first hit. And not her last. Strange crossover soul. I like.
From the new album We Met At Sea, which will be released somewhere this spring. The song Animal is a hit. Hope to see the guys live on one of the summer festivals.
If you discovered Tom Odell lately, then this is your next melodic earbiter. More uptempo than Tom but ambient, rich and beautiful layered. From sunny San Diego, California. Album: Twilight.
In Holland, we love this band name. But seriously, the music is alright as well. Luls are a London trio. "The video offers a glimpse into some strange dimension in which three men can rock with the strength of an entire armada."
Brand new video of Nick Cave's Jubilee Street, the second track taken from the band's fifteenth studio album Push The Sky Away. Also watch the first single We know who u r.
This epic band released his 3rd (!) album since their 'official' start in 1983 (although their real start was in 1978). "m b v" is out now. The single Only Tomorrow is a masterpiece. Listen to the audio track.
