- Lady
- by Chromatics
Ah I forgot to post this future classic. One of the best songs of 2012. ‘Lady’ is off Chromatics’ Kill For Love. Melancholic Disco.

- Long Journey
- by The Allah-Las
Through countless listens this summer. The Allah-Las are not really of this time. fever-dreamy, jangly and fuzzy summer.

Joey Bada$$ bringing back the sounds of 90s New York hip-hop at the tender age of 17. Quality.

- Cloud Chamber
- by Errors
The Glasgow four piece just released a brand new album – ‘Have Some Faith In Magic’. Having faith in magic (literally) has failed me miserably during my life span – magic is a lot of bogus if you ask me. Anyways. This album is far from perfect (or eh, magical, hur hur hur!) but quite enjoyable.
-
- Cyan
- by Kindness
Kindness debut album, ‘World, You Need A Change of Mind’ is only a few weeks away. Simply cannot wait. Infectious and addictive disco-leaning killer. Truly great stuff.
-
- Infatuation (With Your Gyration)
- by The Magnetic Fields
The new Magnetic Fields album has been gettin’ really mixed reviews. It’s all over the place in some odd way, I can’t quite put my finger on it. Anyways, Infatuation is fun.

- Nowhere
- by Wild Nothing
Great track from Wild Nothing featuring Twin Sister’s Andrea Estella. Perfectly suited for rainy days of lazy haziness.
