R.I.P. Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch (1964 – 2012)
It’s the most fitting tribute you can do to a music icon, who helped innovate a genre, reinvent a culture and bring a legacy to music which will never, ever be forgotten.
Artists: Beastie Boys
Michael Kiwanuka ? Home Again (Polydor)
Home Again shows potential for a talented singer to rise in today’s music scene but that rise may come in the future, and not just yet.
Artists: Michael Kiwanuka
Grimes ? Visions (4AD)
That dark electronica which Boucher creates in Visions has a cybotic ambience to it, a style which is somewhat alien in its construction.
Artists: Grimes
Sleigh Bells ? Reign Of Terror (Columbia)
This is an album to show they still have a unique sound and style that no other band or artist has been able to make since their debut came out.
Artists: Sleigh Bells
Pulled Apart By Horses ? Tough Love (Transgressive)
This is an album which might be too tough for some peoples? ears, but deep down this is a scream out and a fist in the air
Artists: Pulled Apart By Horses
Jesse Ruins – Dream Analysis (Captured Tracks)
This is a debut that should keep listeners day dreaming until a full length album appears, scheduled for release later this year
Artists: Jesse Ruins
Casiokids ? Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen (Moshi Moshi)
The band have an album which brightens up the month with a flurry of songs which are like colourful, synthy fireworks
Artists: Casiokids
Justice ? Audio, Video, Disco (Because Music)
The album drifts off into the territory of ?we are trying our hardest to make you forget what we use to sound like?
Artists: Justice
Youth Lagoon ? The Year of Hibernation (Lefse Records)
Powers seems to be a veteran at this, and this album places him near the top of the pile in a growing genre that is filling up with artists
Artists: Youth Lagoon
Summer Camp ? Welcome To Condale (Apricot/Moshi Moshi)
Lyrically and musically there seems to be an American teenage romance feel to a lot of the songs on the album, like they belong in a John Hughes movie.
Artists: Summer Camp
