OK, miles behind with the posts again - several artists to listen up on, review to write on the One EskimO album, need to listen to the Florence & the Machine album properly and make appropriate comments, festival season, and more. Plus, keep watching this space for an hopeful exclusive competition and preview on a soul talent that's really coming onto the scene at the minute.
However, to catch-up, some things that have dropped into my inbox lately, with thoughts in 10 words or less. See how it goes...
Flashguns - I don't not love you - Somewhere between Fleet Foxes and Arcade Fire. Great Litotes.
Thecocknbullkid - Clean apart - Electronica, pop, and an insect-like noise that only dogs can hear. Catchy though. [Note - Bugger the 10 words or less then]
Girls - Hellhole ratrace - San-Franciscan Glasvegas maybe? Lazy summer day.
[Bit extra on Girls - Solitude is the B-side on the 10" limited album, and is much more acoustic and still nicely summer days. Quite retro with the mouth organ and the like. I'll try to do a comprehensive unsung in due course, but if I fail it's worth mention that the album is out on 21st Sept followed by a UK tour at:

Medi and the Medicine - Excuse my French - Mentioned the band before, funky, memorable, distinct.
