Mozart Would Not Enjoy This

I was in H&M yesterday when this song came on through the speakers. I've got a Shazam type thing built into the phone, so I went for it. Casually stood with my phone in the air. How does that even work anyway? How can it possibly recognise songs that way? Anyway, I got home and listened, and it struck me that the vocalist sounded very similar to someone I had heard already, but couldn't quite put my finger on it. A few hours later and I searched the band, only to find that the singer was only José bloody González! If you dunno who that is,  listen to this . I'm thinking you'll probably recognise it. So this Swedish band are returning from a 5 year hiatus with a new, self-titled album that is due to come out next month, with this song being track numero uno.

So this is the first of the HMV albums that I bought to go through. I've picked out the stand out tracks for me, but if you think that another song should was better, please comment at the bottom of the post. Bat For Lashes is the stage name of Natasha Khan. Her sound is very kind of mythical, and ethereal. This album, "Two Suns", came out in 2009 and is her second album. Courtesy of: http://www.flickr.com/photos/loveleeannette/508397794/

If you look back through old posts, you'll see that I love me a bit of Ben Howard (ok a LOT of), and I'm also a bit partial to Everything Everything (not to be confused with the Kevin Bacon phone network). This is a masterful combination of the two. Old Pine is track numero uno from the album "Every Kingdom". Great track, great introduction to the album, sets the scene nicely.  Click here  for the youtube link, and  click here  for the Spotify link. Ben Howard's is the type of music you might listen to were you up for a nice chilling out session, it's acoustic, almost folk music.  See here  for my thoughts on "Only Love", same album as "Old Pine".

Check out  my thoughts on their song "Final Form" from album Man Alive. They're

It's been a while since I found a song that I literally wanted to listen to on repeat. All day. For a week. But here it is! Lucy Rose Parton lives somewhere in Warwickshire, and is the youngest of various musically talented sisters. She's featured in a lot of other people's songs, for example she sang on both of Bombay Bicycle Club's albums, "Flaws" and "A Different Kind Of Fix". She also did a lot of UK festivals last year and this year, and is touring Europe and the US. She's doing pretty well I'd say! This song is from the album "Like I Used To", which was released September 2012.
