Secret Knives are one of those amazing acid rock bands. A real pleasure to listen to. Really organic- if you love groups like Yeysayer, Tame Impala, Animal Collective and The XX then chances are you’ll love the sadly lesser known Secret Knives.

Pretty Lights is easily one of my favourite artists of recent times, even though he’s been around for quite awhile, I discovered his music later than I would have liked to.
Another artist who I wish I could simply post the entire discography of, Pretty Light‘s production quality and sound is something even the creme de la creme of electronic artists could be envious of. I’m very excited to see him live in December. Not only is his music brilliant, but he is generous to give it away for free. I insist you visit the website:

And of-course, a FTR download:
Pretty Lights – Something’s Wrong
Filed under: Ambient, Chilled, Rock, Vocals | Tags: Hypnotic, Trip-Hop, vocals
Hooverphonic were one of my first experiences with trip-hop. I can’t believe I’ve neglected to post them, the trouble is that I just want to post all their music.
They released a new album in 2010 that moved away from their trip-hop roots towards a pop/rock type sound that kind of disappointed me, because tracks like 2Wicky just sounded like they had so much more depth to them. However, I highly recommend you listen to their earlier albums The Magnificent Tree and A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular.

Came on shuffle in iTunes and I have no idea where/how/when I got this track, but man is it beautiful.
Deep bass accompanies these foreign sounding vocal parts, mixed in nicely with large filter-sweeping pad synths. Some native drum sounds give it an exotic feel, while the underlying subs give it a clear dubstep influence. Full quality download too, so it’s a real treat if you have a decent sound system.
Phaeleh – Healing (feat. Indi Kaur)
Something a little different for you this time. We have the famous piece Ellens dritter Gesang, more widley known as Ave Maria by Franz Schubert. This performance of the piece is done sung not by a woman but a talented young boy named Daniel Perret. I spent a good hour today listening to different versions and this one comes from an unlikely location- a video game soundtrack.
Enjoy the haunting harp arpeggios, the angelic vocals, the opera goodness.
Franz Schubert – Ellens dritter Gesang (Ave Maria)
Fun lyrics, sexy vocals, great song.
Devil Doll – Bourbon In Your Eyes

A good tune for the Ides of March no?
I’m an addict to the stuff Ninja Tune releases on their label. This has been heavily played to my ears. There’s a remix of it in the new years mixtape you can find a few posts back.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TOMORROW
Mixed by b& – a collection of horror punk, quirky rock and some simply dark music.

An experimental fusion of dubstep, hip hop and acid.

A mellow blend of dub, melancholy and folk. Vocals that sit somewhere between frail and simply beautiful, Fink’s remix of the Husky Rescue’s single is a vaguely sinister, yet comforting track.
