Peter Scott:
Sparklehorse – Sad And Beautiful World
Jesus And Mary Chain – You Trip Me Up
Laurel Sills:
This is a beautifully subtle song. It was perfect for listening to on a rainy Sunday in the greyness of New Cross. Polly knows how to produce wonderfully emotive music without being obvious. I love her.
This song has serious atmosphere. The resonance and depth of sound coupled with wonderful dynamics and arrangement never fail to blow me away.
This song has amazing drive to it. Cat’s voice has the ability to combine such fragility and strength. I love the simplicity of the instrumentation and the rawness of the production.
School of Seven Bells – Half Asleep
This song has a brilliant melody, I think that’s what makes it for me. Also the slightly different qualities of the twins voices work wonderfully together.
Warpaint – Elephants
I love the dynamics of this song, and the way the chorus comes in with a really unexpected bass line that almost shouldn’t work, but completely does. A band that rarely writes songs under four minutes has to know how to keep your attention!
