I found most recently that music is expectationally good in a need to escape, take a break from the world and find yourself somewhere else. That's sort of obvious and what probably a lot of people do, but I have found myself escaping to music more often than not recently so I have been listening to a lot of new music, not just new bands but bands I love that have brought new stuff out.
A good example to start off with is:
Alt-J
From the moment they released 'Hunger Of The Pine' it sounded different, a sort of different feel from there previous stuff. Then followed their other EP's 'Every Other Freckle' and 'Left Hand Free' which again completely differed from each other, no lie i have constantly had them on repeat since they released them. Which got me excited for more from them. Good news is they have released their new album which is out today!! I have had a listen through it already and am awaiting my chance to run to HMV and by the nearest copy. I suggest you do the same, oh and my favourite? 'Every Other Freckle' just sayin.
Adult Jazz
A band that I have been forcing upon my Boyfriend since the moment I listened to them. (He doesn't seem so keen) but don't let that put you off. This band is something special. New, experimental and a completely new sound. Think Dan Croll crossed with a bit of say Dog Is Dead? and Bombay. You sort of have Adult Jazz. Now let me first thank HMV for playing these in my local shop and a little help from Shazam I discovered these. They're just the perfect relaxing band to listen to in the morning or before bed say, or just whenever you like. I'm a little obsessed I had to drag myself away, his vocals are beautiful, Springful and Donne Tongue are current faves.
Royal Blood
Now I know you probably have heard a lot about these, there has been so much hype around them but to be completely honest, rightly so?! The riffs and compete heavy, rocky just ugh amazing guitar music these have a pretty special future. They're perfect for when your feeling mad or need a bit of a pick me up. I've found these playing a lot, and don't be put off initially if this isn't you sort of thing, especially if your not into really heavy stuff like me, they are REALLY good.
Childhood
I think these sort of rounded my summer off for me, when i heard 'As I Am' I completely and utterly fell in love. The vocals and just absolute gorgeousness of this song made me smile, they're summery and happy. And back to what I was saying earlier, these are a band to completely submerse and lose yourself in.
SW/MM/NG
Are a band I've just literally come across recently again they're another summery band, the type that I love listening to, although I haven't had a proper good listen to them yet I was instantly drawn to them which is quite rare for me. I 100% thought they were worth a mention.
Glass Animals
I think I mentioned these in the last post but my god these have been on repeat CONSTANTLY. I bloody love them, which is a big thing. It takes me a while to utterly fall in love with a band and these have just easily made it onto my list. They music just oozes this dance-y sort of sexiness, I know that is a terrible description but if you listen to them you will hear that (I hope or you'll just think I'm weird) They just have so many different sounds/noses in there music that interests me so much. Also there album art is gorgeous so if you are a fan of that or collecting vinyl's that is another very good reason to buy their album. I love 'Pools' SO summery and 'Gooey' is also a favourite.
So that's all from me, hope you've enjoyed this post! Until next time, take care!
