More disco?

I was feeling this joint, Baby I'm Yours by Breakbot a while ago, but it seems that this super sweet video is fairly new. Check it out; the track is still excellent.

More Los Campesinos!

I think I may have a Youtube exclusive here!

A ways back I posted the album version of Romance is Boring, the title track from Los Campesinos! third album. I've been a huge fan of their particular take on rock/pop/ whatever you want to call it since they hit the scene, and I like seeing a good acoustic take like this one. Here's the acoustic version, and I'll give you the original first if you want to compare.

(I love the LC beers in this video, by the way)




Where U Should Be

I had just heard of Skream in passing before, but this track has SOLD me on getting their new album. Heavy contemporary dance sounds in this track, but it's really evocative too. Most stuff of this genre isn't what I'd consider something I'd put on the ol' ipod, but I could see myself rolling to this.

Also, I begrudgingly post the version from Annie Mac's show because I heard it from her first. I'd put up Grimmy if I could find it, believe you me.

Oh yeah, and the album's out in August. I'll review it for ya. Hold me to that.

I Was Drunk

Not me. It's the song name. I've been hearing tons of mixes of this track, but it's got such an odd charm to it. It makes great yet hilarious dance music, and fits in excellently with most dance mixes one hears it in. If you like it, Youtube is FILLED with mixes of it, but I'll just post the two I like the most.

Oh yeah, that accordion-sounding thing makes the track. So epic.

The Chain

Florence covering Fleetwood Mac?
I'll take it!

Maybe my tipping point?

I never, ever used to like Arcade Fire. Over-rated, trippy rubbish, I thought. Even as their last album, Neon Bible, received drooling accolades, I was actually pretty skeptical, and remained so after considering the album in its entirety. Could their next album The Suburbs be the one to change my mind? Maybe. Sounds suspiciously like U2 to me, but, this time, the whole album might be solid through and through.

Monarchy

It's official that I am way too into disco sounds. My guess is as good as yours when my predilection started, but I'm not sure if it's going away.

Anyway, I've been hearing this track from a London band called Monarchy. Their debut album is due in August. That's pretty much everything I can dig up about these guys. The album will be worth getting, if the first single is any indication (which, of course, it often isn't.)

They've got a bit of a Hot Chip sound going on, but in my opinion more danceable. They may have a richer sound, as this track, Love Get Out Of My Way, seems to suggest, but I'd hate to jump the gun on the whole album.
