Long Walks On The Beach - We’re Growing Up

This song is exceptional. It goes along with a really nice sentiment and a few nice bus rides with it in my ears, wondering about getting older. And somehow it got associated with my friends in my head.

Cheers to yvynyl for sharing, along with a really admirable email. Also hear Literally Crazy For You

She’s So Rad - Confetti

This is just pretty damn fun. I love the messy snare sample. Download here.

Seekae - Yech

A sweet new Seekae song from a session in the Utzon Room at the Opera House. Great to hear vocals feature, they work really well too. As always, looking forward to new stuff! ‘3’ sounds really amazing, from the same session.

Night Manager - Ghost

Thanks to Portals for putting me onto these guys. I don’t know how on earth I missed them? They have a brand new track, Broke Haircut, which is great, but then upon listening more I became even more amazed. Ghost is amazing! I love Caitlin Seager’s amazing extended vocal melodies over the round and about guitar chord cycles. Just perfect. Just perfect harmonies on the elbows too. Russell hated the start when I showed him, but I made him wait because as soon as the vocals come in and they all start doing their thing it’s just brilliance. 

Here is Broke Haircut and a nice live video. You can download everything over at their bandcamp.

Yung Life - Isn’t This

Yung Life are soon to release their new album, and Isn’t This follows the trend of Breaker and is all glittering synths and earworm melodies. Really looking forward to more. 

Previously Breaker and What Can You Do.

My Bloody Valentine - Angel from EP’S 1988-1991

Here is a second previously unreleased MBV track. It starts all out woozy, I nearly felt ill, before a beautiful MBV chorus kicks in and it was all hazy happiness for me until the end. Real good. Loving these remasters.

I still think I like Good For You best though.

My Bloody Valentine - Good For You from EP’s 1988-1991 via Pitchfork

So it’s going to be hard not to post every single snippet of new MBV stuff that comes out with these remasters being released, I should probably admit now that i think they are the best band ever. But this is an amazing unreleased song that sounds like it sits right in between Isn’t Anything and Loveless and is just beautiful to hear. More to come? God I hope so. You can stream the remastered Loveless via The Guardian. I highly suggest it. It is the best album ever made.

Sin Kitty - If You Wanna

These guys are some kind of slow teenage amazing. Their songs just slide away. Video here.

Hear these too:
