Son Lux (https://twitter.com/sonlux)

The work of one-man (but with the help of many it sounds) Son Lux's grand, ambitious sound sounds like Broken Social Scene or Arcade Fire with layers of instrumentation and some great soaring songs.

Samantha Crain (https://twitter.com/sjcrain)

If you loved the dark folk sounds of Sharon Van Etten, then check out new Full Time Hobby signing Samantha Crain. This new track from her is quite magical.

Casimer & Casimir (https://twitter.com/casimercasimir)

Twee, upbeat indie pop from the States, this is going to soundtrack a whimsical movie or 10. Pitchfork featuring this duo this week. 

Lost Scripts (https://twitter.com/JohnTalabot) (https://twitter.com/pionalmusic)

John Talabot and Pional, two of the best house producers of the last 12 months, team up for new project Lost Scripts, with their trademark slinky, deep house sound sounding as good as always.

Future Four (https://twitter.com/erolalkan)

Erol Alkan's new project, Future Four hark back to LFO-style acid house, with clanging snares, big analogue synth lines and thudding kick drums.

Seekae (https://twitter.com/Seekae)

New Australian signing to Future Classic, which is becoming one the biggest independent labels in its homeland with Flume, Hayden James and Jagwar Ma on its roster.

Benjamin Clementine (https://twitter.com/1BClementine)

Vocally he sounds very similar to Anthony & The Johnsons, but this London artist moves into more diverse material, sounding like he might make some really original music in the coming months.

Swimming Lessons (https://twitter.com/SwimmingLessons)

Compared to Yeasayer, this new Leeds producer/singer works with local hero racket merchants Hookworms on producing this poppy, shoegazey project.

The Trouble With Temptation

Latest Communion Music signing, this Australian band follow the likes of Ed Sharpe and Half Moon Run with a similar sound of candle-lit folk but will a little more rock bite than most of their label mates.

The Blackwhite (https://twitter.com/TheBlackWhiteUK)

Big blog support this week on this new London indie-rock band, who offer no frills but know how to knock out a big song all the same.

"O Sweet Joe Pye" Written, performed, recorded, produced by C&C
Mastered by Jason Kuehn

O Sweet Joe Pye come on by to my house
On the second block of Trenton
It's the white one with the side-steps 
That my grandpa put in

Saint John, heather, timothy, and teary-eyed Queen Anne
Come around through the back way
'cause there ain't been a fence up 
Since the old garage burnt down

How high can you go?
Could you shimmy up the front door
Shutter up our windows
And hide the grey peeling paint on the front of the porch

How high will you grow?
Could you careen the filigree between the rust & the railing
With out failing on me

I know it looks bad, Dad
But I wouldn't say such things
I wouldn't say such horrible things---no!
Please go or I'm gonna 
Yell for Joe
I know that this was once your home
But you let the weeds take over
And now it's all over

Sweet Joe Pye
Could you keep 'em outside
The mean kids across the street
And every passerby
With judging eyes

They've got me telling little lies
And giving bad directions
Can't your leafage block their vision
O rise up for me

Sweet Joe Pye!

The first single from Diagrams' new album "Chromatics" out now! Available to buy here: http://bit.ly/1ocqKNp

First pressing comes with bonus instrumental version of the entire album. 

When songwriter and producer Sam Genders last donned his Diagrams hat, captive listeners found themselves truly stunned by the Streatham Hill artist’s imaginative and inventive arrangements that made up 2012's debut album Black Light. Having now upped sticks from his London lodgings and settled in Sheffield with a new lease of life and wife, fresh pastures and friendships are what form the heart of Diagrams’ brand new album Chromatics.
“Relationships are a constant thread. In all their frustrating, exciting, mundane, beautiful, wonderful, sexy, scary glory,” reveals Genders of the album’s themes. “And there's lots of hope in the songs. They shouldn't be taken too literally mind you... in my head Chromatics is life in Technicolor; with all its ups and downs.”
Whilst Black Light fizzed with electronic effects, synth-bass, programmed beats and low-key funk grooves that brought about comparisons to the leftfield pop of Arthur Russell, Metronomy, Steve Mason and Hot Chip, it’s without doubt that Genders’ next offering falls closer to home comforts and marks the next step in Genders’ renaissance. Take lead track ‘Phantom Power’; it’s the track which truly sums up what it’s like to find yourself forever reassessing. “It's about feeling like you're losing a grip on your sanity at one moment, then feeling inspired and up for anything the next. Or frustration with yourself yet believing that it's possible to sort yourself out,” explains Genders.

Oneida - "A List of the Burning Mountains" Preview

The son of a prominent Nicaraguan politician, Alfonso Noel Lovo was a choice target for the Sandinista rebels who hijacked his homeward flight from Miami in December of 1971, ultimately putting several rounds through the talented musician’s torso and hand. After several years, and as many surgeries, he would break new ground on this psychedelic swirl of Latin jazz and pan-American funk with his musical partner, percussionist Jose “Chepito”Areas of Santana fame.Never commercially available, La Gigantona has lived its forty years lost in the grooves of a single acetate. Imagine a Nicaraguan take on Herbie Hancock’s Afro-jazz masterpiece Mwandishi with some of the most penetrating, left-field guitar you’ve never heard.

Background
Born in 1951 in León, Nicaragua, Lovo’s talents were discovered at the age of five, when he played “O Holy Night” note for note on his brand new accordion. He matured on the bellowed instrument at Catholic school functions, and picked up guitar at age eight after watching the family gardener serenade a gaggle of females with Elvis songs. Some years later, a basketball game would pit his high school against that of Jose “Chepito” Areas, a drummer of growing repute in the Nicaraguan music scene. The nuns decided an impromptu concert would be great half-time entertainment, pairing Chepito and Lovo for the first time. Recognizing music as a passion, not a profession, Lovo left for Atlanta, Georgia to attend college in the late ’60s. Chepito had already fled to San Francisco, where he’d used his charisma, perspective, and timbale skills to transform a young Carlos Santana from blues guy to Latin rock icon. In 1973, while studying at Louisiana State University, Lovo traveled to nearby Loyola University to catch a Santana concert, and reintroduce himself to the group’s celebrated percussionist. The two would foster a famous friendship, together routing Santana and company through Nicaragua to play a concert benefitingvictims of the devastating earthquake of the previous year. After graduating from college in 1975, Lovo headed back to Nicaragua to work for his family’s businesses, which at the time included tractor dealerships, livestock, and real estate. One of the main things on his agenda would be to record an album with Nicaragua’s most accomplished players. He intended to make Chepito a part of that.

The Creation of La Gigantona
Named after a yearly procession honoring the Nicaraguan folk legend La Gigantona, Lovo’s record of the same name is anything but traditional. Experimental sessions were rendered over a month at Audio Ocho, a state of the art facility in downtown Managua. At the hand of engineer Roman Cerpas, La Gigantona was subjected to near-constant manipulation. Waves of tape loop crash over the album in quantities that would make Lee Perry blush. Most of the final tracks were the results of the relaxed jam sessions made possible by infinite studio time with skilled performers. Musicians were enlisted from across the country, originating in psychedelic rock bands, jazz combos, and even the national orchestra, providing a rich and diverse cross section of Nicaragua’s mid-’70s music scene. Subjected to mounting political unrest, Managua proved an inhospitable place to oversee a private pressing of your psychedelic jazz masterpiece, and La Gigantona’s original intended release suffered accordingly.

Fortunately, in 2010, Lovo’s unique project washed upon the shores of the Numero Group, who immediately recognized the recording’s beauty and historical significance. Moving backwards from their modern-day meeting, Numero searched tirelessly for collaborators and bystanders, photos and ephemera relating to the furious fit of creativity Lovo commited to magnetic tape on the brink of a national coup. With extensive liner notes and never-before-seen photos, La Gigantona escapes the clutches of civil unrest, seeing the proper debut it deserves.
