LIGHTS ON ITS DARK OUTSIDE...

Slightly mirroring the mood of today.. its a Friday afternoon but tonight is all about curling up inside by the fire ready for the weekend ahead, mostly hibernating. King Krule will take you home to the comfort and warmth of the weekend in your car with the lights on because its dark outside at 5.30.

Archy Marshall is 17 years old, fresh out of Brit school and is brilliant - his music is described as new wave or darkwave and inspired by many. Compared with the likes of Morrissey or Edwyn Collins his voice is so distinctive. This particular song is a favourite of mine but all of his music varies in style and impact and influence, yet every one is as strong as the next - 

Here is 'The Noose of Jah City':

LOST IN THE LIGHT...

It would be a nice feeling if it was so hot and sunny that we got lost in the light. Bahamas, aka Afie Jurvanen, has a melancholic way of making you feel both lifted and saddened at the same time. It almost makes you feel like the lights streaming through the windows by the beach in the bahamas and it doesn't get much better than that but your still finding it hard to get out of bed. This man is not from the Bahamas though, he is from  Ontario, and finnish- Canadian. Try it and see. I like it and am sure as the rest of the USA do too it will be coming our way soon.
