First music recommendations
May 13, 2007
Another new category, this blogging is becoming addictive. 
I thought I’d post some CDs I’ve bought recently. I just love music and in the last year or two I’ve started digging a bit further to unearth some lesser-known artists and bands (which you usual find are better than the drivel that you head in the charts), so you may or may not have heard of these. I rarely buy an album as most are just pants, when I buy a CD it’s becuase I love 90% or more of the tracks on it, liking 6 out of 10 just isn’t enough for me. So recent purchases are (in no particular order): -
Reindeer Section - Son of Evil Reindeer
This is what Snow Patrol’s lead singer did before, a little softer/slower
Freelance Hellraiser - Waiting For Clearance
This is fantastic, Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol supplies vocals for a few songs (he gets about, doesn’t he). “We Don’t Belong” is currently out on single. It’s a sort of dance number. This was in my CD player for a very, very long time, it’s place was taken by an equally brilliant (if not better) album…
Union of Knives - Violence & Birdsongs
Alternative dancey record? “Operated on” and “I Decline” were singles last year and “Evil Has Never” is their latest.
I heard one of her songs on the radio, I couldn’t find anything else about her music, so thought the one song (”Bat’s Mouth”), was so good I bought the album and luckily the album turned out to be great!
Mint Royale - See You in the Morning
A couple of years old now but is really good, sort of dancey; big-beat/electronica album.
Hybrid are perhaps the best known out of this bunch, they are one of my favourite bands, I heard this album and wasn’t too impressed (compared to their previous records) but it has grown on me a lot.
Also, I bought this album a week or so go: -
Canadian born singer-songwriter (whatever that means), I’d recommend at least a listen to this record. No, she’s not another Alanis Morissette and her full name is Leslie Feist.
