Midlake - Balloon Maker

chris on September 11 2014

TBT. Here is the absolutely wonderful track Balloon Maker off Midlake's first album from 2004, Bamnan and Slivercork. This rivals any indie music at the time, and to me holds up the greats like Neutral Milk Hotel and Pavement. Midlake is one of those lifer bands to me. One that you can't wait to play for your son 15 years from now, hoping that it shapes him the way it shaped you.

Marcus Congleton from Ambulance LTD, has returned. Here he is with Nathan Thelen from Pretty Girls Make Graves in their collaboration called Drug Cabin. The whole album is pretty damn good. Welcome back brother, we've missed you.

Drums - I Can't Pretend

Sup bros? How was your weekend? Mine was alright - I got some new candles. One in particular smells like pine needles which reminded me that we're only weeks (maybe even hours) away from hearing fucking Christmas music blasting at various "makeyouwanttokillyouself" department stores.

Wampire - Spirit Forest

No regrets. All those awful mistakes, hospital visits, arrests, drug use and shattered hearts, gave you the best perspective.

Good Shoes - The Way My Heart Beats

Alex on September 05 2014

Pro Tip: If you're a band and you're trying to win your way to my heart sound identical to The Kooks or Two Door Cinema Club. I cannot help myself from loving a poppy punky British band.

Poolside - Do You Believe

Something doesn't have to be sophisticated or complex to be good. It can just be cool. This is why I love the movie Drive. It just feels right, much like this album.

Post Punk New Wave Brit Pop Underground Norm Core Party Gaze. That about sums it up.
