Nice new tune from The Bora – Only One, takes me back to being a teenager just a bit. Reminds me of Taking Back Sunday with less screaming and more controlled vocals. Maybe a bit of Dinosaur Pile up aswell. Nice to hear a decent bit of Punk/Pop/Indie its been awhile.
Jenny Hval a Norwegian artist has recently released her fourth album Innocence is Kinky. It’s a delightfully strange one sounding somewhat like you are hearing a snippet of a song from a car radio as it drives past. Just enough to suggest its a pop or rock song but not enough to be sure. She definitely holds her inspirations tight to her chest but relays them back in her own unique way. A strange but delightful listen full of new ideas and pop/rock sensibility.
In advance of her new album ‘Once I Was An Eagle’ Laura Marling has released a short film featuring four new songs all in a row. 18 minutes of sitting happily with your headphones on.
Laura Marling: When Brave Bird Saved
A nice slice of continued maturity in Laura Marling fantastic folk delivery.
The Young Folk play Olivia Leaves in the middle of the crowd in Whelans with no microphones. A fantastic gig from the future of Irish music. A folk and trad inspired set full of beautiful harmonies and lots of instruments.
Another new video from this bright young talent. In her final year of school so expect big things in the next couple of years when she gets into this music business full-time.
