Interpol – Hands Away

Interpol have had four albums now and while the newer ones haven’t quite reached the heights that the first two did they’re definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of a bit of indie/rock. Pretentiously ambiguous lyrics everywhere and more than a hint of influence from classic alternative bands such as Joy Division but Interpol consistently put out albums that have more killer than filler. This is a more low key effort from their wicked debut, Turn On The Bright Lights, check the rest of the album for some more up tempo material.

The Whitest Boy Alive – Done With You

Happy New Year to all!

I didn’t manage to even look at this blog over the Christmas period and now that it’s January I feel like posting up a few guitar based tunes. This is a band that I discovered some time last year and totally love. Full of beautiful melodies with a laid back feel The Whitest Boy Alive are straight outta Berlin, one of my favourite cities, and I highly recommend anyone to pick up their albums if this tune floats your boat.

Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti – Bright Lit Blue Skies

I’m absolutely loving Before Today by Ariel Pink at the moment. Crazy retro sounding indie folk type stuff with good catchy bits and plenty of oddness interspersed. There are a load of older LPs that veer towards the odder end of things but definitely worth listening to. Check it out, top stuff.
