Yes Brae


I've been enjoying Gorilla Vs. Bear's January mix an awful lot this past week or so.

A big part of that is the excellent opening track from New Zealand's Yumi Zouma, a dreamy hazy pop record called The Brae. It's available from tomorrow on their new EP.



Gorilla Vs. Bear's monthly mixes are an excellent way to keep up-to-date with what's going on stateside in vaguely hipsterish circles.

Full AWE

So AWE's Crystals got a mixed response in FACT's single club this week but I'd still take a "pound shop Rustie" over most new music...

Weird Energies


Even less than the ever-decreasing post-punk posts are the "little bit left of centre" ones on this blog, so here's a slice of hippy dippy new age ambient weirdness from Pauline Anna Strom...



Not only that but there's even a mp3 to download. Yeah, I'm going back to my roots...

DOOM Boots

JJ DOOM's Wash Your Hands was very close to making my Top 10 but just missed out when I remembered about Thundercat.



But then I noticed these sweet Wallabees from Clarks and there's my excuse...



You can hear DOOM talking about the collab with Clarks below and they should be available for pre-order soon and shipping on Valentine's Day, so if you love me...
