Tasseomancy - Bare Bones Neo-Gothic Folk Duo

12:11 AM

Tasseomancy is a continuation of what was a bare bones neo-gothic folk duo. Formerly known as Ghost Bees, Sari and Romy Lightman have begun to experiment with heavier, ambient sounds, influenced by death ritual, hebraic song, war drums, ancestry and myth. The sisters recorded their second full-length this winter with producer Taylor Kirk and accompanying band, Timber Timbre. The album is called Ulalume and it was released on August 30, 2011.

The Sidewalk Doctors - Vintage Jamaican sounds

11:58 PM

This band is formed by Lenny Bignell and Nathan Thomas. The Sidewalk Doctors have a sound that is equal parts sweet, soulful and heavy. They take influences from vintage Jamaican sounds, particularly the Rocksteady era, adding a dose of soul and molding it into something unique. August 2011 sees the release of their debut album “Music is Medicine” 9 choice cuts of Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae, exquisitely delivered (from Last FM's artist page). You can buy the album in BandCamp. My favorite song from this album is I've heard it all before.

Lewis Floyd Henry - Blues / Progressive / Psychedelic

9:07 PM

Secret Garderns is the 1st song from his new album.

Lewis Floyd Henry has performed on street corners around London with a battery-operated amplifier, and custom-made drum-kit for sometime. His album came about after being spotted playing on Brick Lane in July of 2009. ‘One Man & His 30w Pram’ was released on February 21, 2011 with Adjust Records. Like something out of a time warp, this album takes me back to a place where Hendrix was in the music charts, and the protest against the Vietnam War were in full swing.

Is Tropical - Dance-able Music from London

11:50 PM

One of my favorite songs so far from them.

Is Tropical is a trio from London that perform with veiled faces. Simon Milner, Gary Barber and Dominic Apa are friends that describe their music as a bass heavy, beat driven, pop-influenced lo-fi dance music. Their debut album should be released on June 12th on Kitsuné.

Record Label: Kitsuné

Hometown: London
