1. Guillemots-Falling out of reach
I like the slight progression in this song. It amuses me as it starts very mellow like a sad slow song and builds into something quite interesting. I really do like guillemots they always give away free stuff on their twitter and Fyfe Dangerfield seems like a really nice guy. Genuine but with a bit of a backbone. He has also done some really nice solo stuff recently which I like a lot. His cover of "She's always a woman" was used in a Waitrose advert and I think I prefer it to the original. Funny little video though. But yeah Fyfe has such a mellow voice that is so wonderful to listen to and pretty much touches your heart (yes I did just say that...) but perfect for a boring wet afternoon.
2. Josh Rouse- Car Crash
I'm not sure where I first heard Josh Rouse but Frank Turners twitter recently brought it to my attention again and I can't stop listening. This is my favourite song to cycle to as it reflects my local area so well. People literally milling around doing nothing on the village green for hours walking dogs and going to the pub. Maybe down to the river. The perfect long summers day. But back to this smooth lyricist. I can imagine he is a very smooth talker, perfectly articulate with words and knows just how much to say. The vulnerable edge to his voice is almost mesmerising so congratulations Mr Rouse.
3. The Wombats-Techno Fan
Now, these guys are apparently amazing live and I am yet to see them. They're so upbeat and happy all the time, even when singing depressing music it still manages to sound happy. They've been around for a while but their cheeky chappy ways are having a winning effect on the pop/rock/indie population of London and the UK. They are like a bunch of Jack the lads up for a good time and not taking themselves too seriously light hearted banter is what I would expect a lot of on a night out with them. Perfect.
