TRACKS OF THE WEEK 30/03/2014 - Real Estate, Pure X, Liars, Rihanna, Hello Caller

Five tracks that were a marriage made in heaven!

Flycasual:-
Liars - 'Mess On A Mission' (2014)

The party has been overrun, it's late, unwanted friends/your dad/the in-laws/your neighbours (sounds like a crap party anyway) have all over stayed their welcome. Solution? You play a 'Shifter', that'll get the buggers moving! 'Mess on a Mission' is a definite shifter, I love it and don't worry Liars, this really is a good thing. I was enamored with the experimental Brooklyn trio's last offering, 2012's WIXIW and Mess, their 7th album has just been released. Time to throw a bash I think.

Hello Caller - 'Harkening Darkness

Following on from my TOTW last week, I'm still in my 'Austin Phase' and have chosen Hello Caller for my latest offering. Taken from their 2012 album 'Dark Twain' this is a really pleasant track to listen along to featuring a few instruments that I like. They've got some strings, a snare and what sound like a ukulele I think... but what do I know... I used to listen to Stock, Aitken & Waterman !!! The album is definitely worth a listen to as well.

Sfw:-
Pure X - Starlight (2014)
“Starlight” is the first single from Austin Texas' Pure X which features on their forthcoming LP, Angel.  It's jangly, psychedelic feel takes you on a musical trip that feels like you're floating on clouds.  Perfection!

Shell Hunter:-
Rihanna - 'Cheers (I'll drink to that)' (2011)

Not normally my thing but how can you deny the sentiment?! Especially when you are
at the swim up bar in Thailand and it comes on.

My track of the week for sure....

'Don't let the bastards get you down,
Turn it around with another round,
There's a party at the bar,
Everybody putcha glasses up!'

Who's for another Chang?!

Real Estate - How Might I Live (2014)


 

Here is a great track from Real Estate called How Might I live (2014) and is from the new album Atlas (2014). Just fantastic pure pop, exactly what it says on the tin. Nothing more nothing less. It is just class. I have to say they remind me so much of the fabulous Teenage Fanclub. It is about time we heard from them too. I have been listening to this album quite a lot over the past couple of weeks. Great stuff, great stuff to get you humming along. Give it a go you may be pleasantly surprised.
