This post is more a form of unadulterated self indulgence than a legitimate excuse for a Sunday post, but let me explain. I have several eye watering inducing exams coming up and as music is the true hero at getting you to forget about all your problems (!) I thought I'd write a little bit about what bangin' chooons I'm loving at the moment...
Happy Anniversary by Best Friends
The Sheffield 4 piece have been recommended to me on several occasions and I'm glad I took the initiative to listen to then because they're wonderful. "Happy Anniversary" provides aprox. 3-and-a-half minutes of blissful wanderings and a nice spattering of rowdy guitars and drums that provide enough of an edge to make you think the style could completely and very suddenly change, while retaining the swirling, head-bobbing-along feel that I have grown to love them for.
Holy By Frightened Rabbit
Scottish rockers got my heart a-racing with this track off their early-2013 album "Pedestrian Verse". This track begins with a feeling it's going to be relaxed, until the music builds up with the aid of a wonderful bass and drum arrangement, which allows it to have a raw feel without feeling in any way unrefined. The amount of accolades they've received, there really isn't much of a point in trying to tell you why I love them, but I do, so I will tell you (so there).
Nightmare by Guards
I discovered New York three piece Guards when they were supporting MGMT on their recent UK 2013 tour. After hearing two songs, I went and bought their album straightaway from the merch stand and continued to wave my arms at them like a nutter. The track begins with a strong opening of rich bass and swirling vocals. It develops into a Tame Impala-esque stomp with a sway and melody that is perfect for getting your groove down.
What tracks are you loving at the moment? (Let me know if you can be bothered).
Lots of Love, Paige x x x
