Sometimes it is nice to relax; to stop writing essays on Facebook, twittering in to your tweetybox, synching your media devices and hype-machining the latest Matsuroki Miyoku mixtape and just listen to some music.That is what we have done and here is what we enjoyed.
Stonefoxx - Crystal Clear
To describe this song as summery would be like referring to the surface of the sun as ‘slightly warm‘. A breezy pop blast that is unconcerned with being liked by people in haircuts, the song lets in more of the yellow stuff than a sunroof the size of the o-zone hole. Feelgood.
Blondfire - My Someday (LP)
Pleasantly relaxed electro fluff that sounds a bit like Dragonette might if they were neutered and denied access to Viagra and porn.
Estelle - American Boy
The amazing Estelle, of being made by God in 1980 fame, comes back with a massive pop banger, which is not only the best thing she’s ever done, but also marks an incredible return to form for co-conspirator Kanye West.
The Long Blondes - Erin O’Connor
HUGELY BANGING album track that is named after her off the M&S adverts. Bonus points are awarded for references to Barry M and Lily Cole, two of the greatest things ever invented.
Crystal Castles - Crimewave
Crystal Castles are largely amazing and so is their album. However, ‘Crimewave’ represents just one of the handful of moments on the disc when you fully expect 2002 to ring up and ask for its music back. Concerns about which are mitigated firmly by the remaining 40 minutes of 8bit thrashcore noisemare, which is straight out of 2028.
Amy Winehouse - Rehab (Hot Chip Remix)
Amazing.
And that is quite literally your lot.
