Phoof, I tell you what, it gets overwhelming, it really does. The amount of good new stuff I hear, it's bloody hard to keep up with, let alone blog about! I feel like when I was younger I really had a lot more time to listen to music than I do now. Plus I also think there's way more music now (I won't go on about it, see some of my previous posts on that topic). Anyway, point being, I could probably blog everyday, there's at least that much I hear and like. Well, getting to it...
First off, my promised continuation of posts about Welsh artists. Today I'm going to post about Cian Ciaran, who's in Super Furry Animals but is releasing a solo record called "Outside In". SFA have been around for a while but I believe this is the first time Cian's releasing things solo. He did a session on the radio, which is where I heard 'You & Me', a great song that reminds me of John Lennon and David Bowie:
Right, now that I've tackled that, onto the shedload of new stuff I've been liking over the last week or so. I'll give minimal information, when I give any, cos you all know how to use the internet and can find more info yourselves.
Jake Bugg, straight out of Nottingham, and only a teen, which makes me incredibly jealous. Not sure how good his other stuff is, but this song has really grown on me (actually, just heard 'Lightning Bolt' at his website and liked that too). Sidenote -- I'm finding that I'm liking songs and artists more when I've only heard them on the radio, and have to imagine who they are, what they look like, etc. Seeing them has been detracting from the mystery somewhat. Alright, here's Taste It:
Next up, Bat for Lashes, not a new artist, must have something new coming out but I don't know anything about that; I just know that I like this song, even though it's not what I'm usually into:
And lastly, outta Canada, it's a band with a really crap name: Purity Ring! Didn't think too much of their other songs but this track is cool:
