The long awaited album of the much hyped "The Big Pink" finally came out... and its genius. With the stand out popular tracks such as Velvet and Dominos, the rest of the album equally lives up to these , each telling a different aspect of love. Crystal Visions and golden pendulum have to be my favorite with a screeching sirens,distorted beats and guitar, the big pink have really created a new sound in these. Take a fucking listen. Dont expect to love this on your first listen, and especially playing it through your laptop. You need to listen to this album live, through booming speakers, or driving in the car at night to do it justice. The tracks i've put up are only to promote yo guys to get this album. Buy it, its amazing. Buy(whole album)/Listen to: Crystal visions, velvet, golden pendulum

GRAFFITI ISLAND

the coolest band in london town
3 part band consisting of a monotonous singer, bassist a drummer.
how sick is his jumper?
"sipping hot coco from a human skull" just a casual lyric.
"sing about pet snakes and turtles over beats and baselines delivered with the best of "I don't care" stage presence".
chilled melodicness
these guys are so fucking cool.
the songs are around 2 mins long.
WEIRD.

The XX album

- haven't blogged forever. Exams next week.

- The XX released their debut album a few weeks ago.
- The reviews for this album have been incredible.
track-list:

1. Intro
2. VCR
3. Crystalised
4. Islands
5. Heart Skipped A Beat
6. Fantasy
7. Shelter
8. Basic Space
9. Infinity
10. Night Time
11. Stars

This band from the heart of the south London dubstep scene have managed to conjure up a whole new sound of atmospheric indie rock. Almost like the big pink, except calmer, more ominous and melodic. Each song is genius i cant really say there's one i don't really like. "fantasy", " VCR" and "Night time"are my least favorite, this in no way makes them bad. As NME says " Towards the end though, that deliciousness can start to become suffocatingly rich. But that's a little bit like complaining about having too many diamonds". My favorite song has to be "the intro", no vocals, yet ripped with mellifluous guitar and melancholic beats. The howling effects and minimalistic use of instruments give the effect of one big story and soundtrack, not just an album. Self produced by 19 year olds this album is the perfect soundtrack for an overcast day , walking through London Town.
