Posted by: Tan y Draig on 04 February 2014

my most recent discovery is

Hozier so far with only a download EP (as far as I am aware anyway) take me to the church

I recommend you check him out

The Fat white Family , Champagne Holocaust,, as well as unusual cover art it sounds rather good to.

...actually this is their old album. The new one 'In Roses' was released this week and whilst not a huge development is very good-and perhaps my favourite of the two.

My new discovery of the week is 'Twin Oaks' from Bandcamp. The album is 'Lions Den'. Sort of electronic/folk is about as close as I can get. You can listen in entirety on Bandcamp as usual.

The Guardian webpage 'New Band Of The Day' is always worth a look. Usually 2-3 tracks to stream.

i will have a listen.thought would be interesting to start a thread where we can share any new or relatively unknown music we've discovered and where we found it (as you've done).

The Gem Club was streaming at NPR First Listen. Another place I regulalrly check to hear new music. 3-4 full new albums most weeks, generally they stay up for a couple of weeks. It has just been taken down I'm afraid but it is a good place to pick up stuff.

Thanks again Bruce. The new release section of Q is where I look then straight onto Spotify to see whether it's worth parting with my hard earned cash. Not very inventive I know

keep em coming please!
