the heavy new single from ‘dark soul’ duo The 39Steps is HMMM.. YES. the collaboration between Leeds UK producer Kato and the sultry as hell Laura Fowles fuses jazz, hip hop, psychedelia and filmscore. off their debut Coming Clean, “Ghost Writing” just gets better with each listen. and that ain’t all! the vid for the track is by far one of our favorite of the year! hazy pianos, scratchy horns, BEEEAAATS.. SIR alfred!! get familliar.

“Magnet” is the next single off BBC’s debut I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose. the chorus is incredible, it just takes off with “oooooooo” and hooks baby hooks. so with guns blazin, who wins in a draw: “magnet” or the interpol catalogue?? our $$$ is on zombie ian curtis after an entrance from another dimension. either way, “magnet” is a glance at the future of a young and rather promising group..

The Maccabees - Love You Better
“Love You Better” is the solid first single off UK’s The Maccabee’s new sophomore release Wall Of Arms. “No Kind Words” was our early indicator, and “Love You Better” seals the deal. it’s always a great feeling to hear a new band and become genuinely excited hear the rest of the record.. sadly far and few between qualify nowadays. we’ll keep you posted…
