If you've missed these where have you been?!

You know when you sort of go through that dry patch with music, you've became fed up of current bands because you've listened to the same songs a thousand times. You can't find any new bands or the bands you are finding just aren't doing it for you? Then you go into that 'Where the hell has [insert name of band here] gone, they haven't made any new music in ages' THEN out of nowhere the bands you love and haven't heard for a while pop up with a new and completely amazing song. That, that is what I love. And that is what my post is about today, it's sort of a little impromptu, I always seem to write late for this blog but I always seem to pop up with these ideas to write? Not to mention I have deadlines for uni, yep I know my priorities.

God I am so happy these boys are back. I love them because they always bring something new and fresh something completely different. This is like nothing I heard from them before, its more danc-y, the vocals and it's fast paced. It's still them but I feel its more of a different direction, and I bloody love it. The chorus just makes you want to jump about and dance.

'Get to heaven' Release date 15.06.15

What can I even say to simply describe this song?! I have been a fan of Florence since forever, for not only their music but Florence Welch herself. I've always been a fan of what they do. This song just blew me away and I can almost feel like they are taking a new direction this time and with the new album. Its strong, its powerful and for at least more than a moment it makes you stop what your doing. Shit it is good. If you haven't watched the new video for this song yet go, go. I feel like she is really telling a story and opening up and the video completely portrays that.

'How big, how beautiful' is set for release on June 2nd

Very badly of me, I actually haven't listened to Peaces new album, so I won't make much comment on that. I am getting round to having a listen, honest! Their song 'Get Lost On Me' made me completely fall in love with them again so I was excited to hear more from them for this album. This is one of my favourite songs and make sure you check out their music video for this there is 4 different interactive versions to watch. all equally entertaining.

Peaces album 'Happy People' Is out now

If you ask me, this is completely different to anything I heard from Swim Deep before, it still has those harmony's, its soft and dazy but there's something different, quite retro and it almost reminds me of The Stone Roses. I've loved some of the stuff they've done but for me I felt like their last album was a bit same-y. 'Honey' and 'King City' were my faves but I'm excited to hear more from them and hear more of what they've got to give. And this song release has got me excited for that.

(Rumoured album no set release)

Oh I am so happy these boys are back to keep me uplifted and all warm inside. Honestly these are (one of) my summer bands. Literally everything they do is drenched with sunshine and just pure groove. This song is also much of this again, I challenge you to not dance the minute it starts and to not feel good once it's finished.

No new album as of yet

I don't want to say too much about this just yet as my next post will be a gig review for Hot Chip, I went to see them Friday Night and god they were so so good. As I said I'll just touch on this, but this song feels old school. funky (as always) but with a bit of something new its very current but there's still that electronic 80's noise about them. This is real good, initially on first listen I wasn't blown away but now it's really grown on me.

Album release 'Why make sense?' 18th May

Let me know what you think.
Have you listened to any of these? Are you excited for more music from them?

What I am currently loving/ New Music Monday

I found most recently that music is expectationally good in a need to escape, take a break from the world and find yourself somewhere else. That's sort of obvious and what probably a lot of people do, but I have found myself escaping to music more often than not recently so I have been listening to a lot of new music, not just new bands but bands I love that have brought new stuff out.

A good example to start off with is:

Alt-J

From the moment they released 'Hunger Of The Pine' it sounded different, a sort of different feel from there previous stuff. Then followed their other EP's 'Every Other Freckle' and 'Left Hand Free' which again completely differed from each other, no lie i have constantly had them on repeat since they released them. Which got me excited for more from them. Good news is they have released their new album which is out today!! I have had a listen through it already and am awaiting my chance to run to HMV and by the nearest copy. I suggest you do the same, oh and my favourite? 'Every Other Freckle' just sayin. 

Adult Jazz

A band that I have been forcing upon my Boyfriend since the moment I listened to them. (He doesn't seem so keen) but don't let that put you off. This band is something special. New, experimental and a completely new sound. Think Dan Croll crossed with a bit of say Dog Is Dead? and Bombay. You sort of have Adult Jazz. Now let me first thank HMV for playing these in my local shop and a little help from Shazam I discovered these. They're just the perfect relaxing band to listen to in the morning or before bed say, or just whenever you like. I'm a little obsessed I had to drag myself away, his vocals are beautiful, Springful and Donne Tongue are current faves.

Royal Blood

Now I know you probably have heard a lot about these, there has been so much hype around them but to be completely honest, rightly so?! The riffs and compete heavy, rocky just ugh amazing guitar music these have a pretty special future. They're perfect for when your feeling mad or need a bit of a pick me up. I've found these playing a lot, and don't be put off initially if this isn't you sort of thing, especially if your not into really heavy stuff like me, they are REALLY good.

Childhood

I think these sort of rounded my summer off for me, when i heard 'As I Am' I completely and utterly fell in love. The vocals and just absolute gorgeousness of this song made me smile, they're summery and happy. And back to what I was saying earlier, these are a band to completely submerse and lose yourself in.

SW/MM/NG

Are a band I've just literally come across recently again they're another summery band, the type that I love listening to, although I haven't had a proper good listen to them yet I was instantly drawn to them which is quite rare for me. I 100% thought they were worth a mention.

Glass Animals

I think I mentioned these in the last post but my god these have been on repeat CONSTANTLY. I bloody love them, which is a big thing. It takes me a while to utterly fall in love with a band and these have just easily made it onto my list. They music just oozes this dance-y sort of sexiness, I know that is a terrible description but if you listen to them you will hear that (I hope or you'll just think I'm weird) They just have so many different sounds/noses in there music that interests me so much. Also there album art is gorgeous so if you are a fan of that or collecting vinyl's that is another very good reason to buy their album. I love 'Pools' SO summery and 'Gooey' is also a favourite.

So that's all from me, hope you've enjoyed this post! Until next time, take care!

New Music Monday

I had a little bit of spare time last Monday which I don't usually get to go and browse some music videos and new music. So I'm really excited to share with you some bands that I'm into at the moment and just some songs that are on constant repeat. 

I'm also not sure whether to 'New Music Monday' a feature on my blog but its definitely something I'd like to do in order to share bands and new music with you all to enjoy.

So just a short post really but hopefully you can give them a listen and let me know what you think, again I've made a Spotify playlist which I've linked below for you to just click straight on and listen to the artists.

Please also let me know if you'd like me to create YouTube playlists for those of you who don't use Spotify!

I'm planning on doing a spotlight appearance on Glass Animals in a upcoming post as I'm completely loving their stuff at the moment. 

Until next time though, enjoy!
