Danny Mahon - Free MP3

This is the first studio recording of the song and will be a welcome addition to his growing legion of fans playlists. The track was recorded during Danny's first true studio session that also produced 'Beat Me Up and 'AK47'; both feature on his debut release.

Resurrection - Danny Mahon

Girls Names

This time of year consists of people talking about lists, making lists or talking about how everyone else is making lists so therefore they are making a stand by not making a list! Well I've not been making a list or thinking about it; instead I've just been listening to a load of new things and trying to decide how the hell I'm going to get to see Belfast duo Girls Names without my long lost expense account. Here's to hoping they play the North West come 2010.

Colourmusic

Colurmusic's first release on Memphis Industries is the absolutely massive sounding 'Yes!'. There's also an early Flaming Lips type promo video accompanying that looks to highlight the benefits of living in Piedmont Oklahoma. Check it out below.

Gallops

Gallops are a band from Wrexham. They caused a bit of a fuss at ITC 2009 as Huw Stevens kept reminding us all on twitter. Anyway, regardless of all the applause from the usual suspects I'd highly recommend you listen to them. They sound like the Warp band you're yet to discover and will hopefully be releasing an album in 2010. 

 

Something from Leeds....

It's been a while since I heard anything interesting coming out of Leeds. However, this afternoon I came across Spectrals via a recommendation and I'm pretty hooked. My favourite track is called ' I Don't Really Mind' that's heavily influenced by the Californian surf groups of the late 1960s like The Chantays, The Beach Boys and Ventures. They play Deaf Institute in Manchester on November 25Th, if your at a loose end that night check them out.
