Jonquil - History of Headaches

Preach it mark.

Look, if you’re not picking up with Hugo Manuel (aka Chad Valley) is putting down, you’re already behind the curve.  Dude’s got them pipes that shiver me timbers - he’s the real deal.  Here, he’s leading his outfit of buds - Sam Scott, Robin McDiarmid, Dominic Hand - from Oxford, UK doing a brilliant take away performance of their newest single.  Gotta get past the 3 minute mark, too.  Big payoff thru the bridge.

The new Point of Go LP is out on Dovecote Records in the US this week and Blessing Force in the UK next week.

Beirut - Vagabond

PUBLIC SCHOOL x Twin Shadow

Rhye - Open

This new LA-based duo’s debut track alone - stark, minimal pop - makes a whole lot of sense.  Then you watch the video and yr like, oh yeah. Ohhh yeah. Ohhhhh, I really get it now. Hot, hot, hot and definitively NSFW. Sexiest song + vid of 2012, hands down.

Get this single on clear ltd. 12” wax from Innovative Leisure. 

This is also very smooth r&b style. Sade vibes.

JESSIE WARE | RUNNING

How stunning is she?! You’re now looking at one of the soon to be breakout stars of the year. The South London soul singin’ native is demanding her time in the spotlight with this elegant visual for “Running” in order to heat up the anticipation for debut album with Dave Okumu,The Invisible, which is due this Summer. Keep your eyes peeled for this one! 

This track is soooo smooth. Lady r&b style. 

Let the SXSW madness begin… 

Bombay Bicycle Club @ El Rey

Blu Cantrell - Hit Em Up Style (Oops!)

Of course this came up at girl dinner last night… shortly after discussing Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child, TLC, and 3LW.
