Professor Penguin, a new band out of London, could be the next big thing out of the UK. Given the right spins (Steve Lamacq and Nick Grimshaw are among the band’s supporters) and exposure, PP could be a real breakout band in 2k12. They’ve got a debut LP Planes at the ready and an excellent single to lead with. This is “Pirate”.

Our fave Ben Leftwich rolled through Radio 1’s Live Lounge today and (in addition to brill version of his single “Pictures”), he cut this heartfelt acoustic take on Guetta’s electro monster “Titanium”. Hat tipped in Mr. Leftwich’s direction.

Their British drumbeat started at the beginning of the year. When I was Australia last, a major promoter told me they were excited to bring Django Django down to Australia. This band has a fresh, upbeat sound that is unique, especially vocally. Their album dropped at the end of January and all announced tour dates so far are in Europe.

“Dem Bones” knocks. BLKKATHY is definitely one for your radar, the band take what everyone loves about music from bands like The xx, and adds an extra touch of vulnerability and BASS (can’t forget that bumpin’ bass). Listen.

“Ten Tiny Fingers” by L.A. band Marriages (comprised of members of post-rock band Red Sparrowes) is one of our favorite tracks of the year. The on face sprawling, sort of far off “Ten Tiny Fingers” hooked us not only with its’ crushing enormous sound but with it’s soul. There’s a feeling and warmth in “Ten Tiny Fingers” that is not always common in this genre. We always talk about warmth and soul (in rock particularly) as being that stuff that really can pull you into track, that it’s what really takes hold off you and brings you back. Give it a spin.

UK soulstress Delilah’s just released 2-4 am mixtape is fire. Our pick from the smoothed out set is the cool, organ and reverb-soaked “Love Drug”. Imagine Esthero’s sound (love you Esthero!) 10 years more modern and you’ve sort of got a reference for Delilah. Get a sample below.
