The Maccabees – Colour It In

The Maccabees are a british Indie Rock band formed in 2004. Their last album, Wall Of Arms, had a great reception by he critics, but I think that Colour It In is quite better. Nevertheless, give Wall Of Arms a try.

Update

Well guys, these last times have been harsh. Faculty, works, exams, …

So, as now I’m almost on summer holidays, I’ve got more time to listen and more time to post, so I hope to be more regular here.

I would also like to ask for some feedback from you about the blog, it would really be a boost of will to me. 😉

The xx – xx

With an album generally acclaimed as one of the best from the past year, The xx reached a mainstream almost never seen before.

With a guitar, a bass, the drums and a bunch of samples, xx is a really really great album.

Jónsi – Go

Jónsi is the vocalist of Sigur Rós. Only this is enough to know what to expect with this album. Much like the style of the band, Go is the second album from this talented artist.

Clutchy Hopkins – Walking Backwards

Clutchy Hopkins is an awkward character. No one really knows if he exists or is only a pseudonym for some artist, but the fact is that his music is really great.

And, to be honest, he might well be a marcian, I really don’t care, at least as long as he keeps doing such great music.

Seal – Best Of 1991-2004

Seal is, by far, my favourite Soul singer.

This album reunites (in my humble opinion) his greatest singles. In fact, I rejoice whenever it’s playing on my PC.

Jeff Buckley – Grace

This guy died way to soon. His death was (and keeps being) one of the greatest losses ever on the history of music.

Grace is an amazing album, showing us the great voice of Jeff Buckley, one of the greatest singers I’ve already listened.

The Len Price 3 – Pictures

The Len Price 3 is a British band, formed some years ago. They’re often compared with The Who, because of their 60’s sound.

And, let me say, Pictures is the real proof of such comparison.
