To Stick To Fiction
www.myspace.com/fictionlondon
Very exciting, almost unclassifiable stuff from this London based outfit coming on like White Lies with ideas and an anarchic streak.

Poor Little Rich Girl Eleanor Seabird

Whilst the opening synth chords may flag this another twee pop wonder, further listening offers up an accomplished Cars-like song with a rich female vocal.

Devil’s Clap Anchorsong
www.myspace.com/anchorsong
Creating live electronica ‘on the fly’, and sometimes with a string quartet as in this track. A bit like Cornelius jamming with DJ Krush (who he’s touring with) this producer is due some wider appraisal.

The Weekend Clipson
www.myspace.com/clipson
Sweet sweet grime from this talented member of the very lively East London grime/dubstep scene. Expect a new mixtape from him soon.

Concentrate Tom Williams & The Boat
www.myspace.com/WilliamsTommusic
They count Chris TT as a sometime accomplice, which goes some way to describing their sound. Throw in a bit of Coxon and a broken heart and you’re there.

Chemicals Fez
www.myspace.com/wearefez
Opening like a hybrid of The Monkees Last Train to Clarkesville crossed with Nick Cave’s Deanna with ace sounding vocals and super catchy hooks.

Something To Say Goodness
www.myspace.com/thegoodnessmusic
Like an angular Elbow with Maccabees sensibilities and large choruses.

Take My Picture Me and the Beast
www.myspace.com/meandthebeastmusic
Sparkling, squelchy electro pop with feather light vocals and a shoulder shuggling beat.

At Least I’m Not As Sad (As I Used To Be) fun.
www.myspace.com/fun
And they are! They’re hitting the road with the Joy Formidable, which is a good match for this talented, exuberant trio from NYC.

Jellyfish Ace Of Space

Weird. Like Vini Reilly playing the theme to Tales of the Unexpected with a darkly unsettling synth bubbling under.
