Mixtape Sep 2016



 So many great new albums are getting released this month - check out the albums beyond these tracks if you need extra homework.



1) High and Low by Empire of the Sun
First track taken from the Australians's third album expected to drop very soon.

2) Never Seen This Before by The Delta Riggs
Another funky band from Australia who have just released their Active Galactic album.

3) Let Love Be (With U) by Kula Shaker
Twenty years after their debut album K comes its companion album K2.0 and it is their best work since 1996.  I got giddy promoting the original as one of the greatest records of all time so I will be more even handed with this review - "Glamorous Indian Rock N Roll /Mythical Bollocks".

4) Bang Bang by Green Day
I haven't enjoyed a Green Day record since American Idiot but this is great punk rock.

5) The Spoils by Massive Attack featuring Hope Sandoval
This is outstanding - if they can top this I will be surprised.  Haunting and beautiful.

6) Architecture Lecture by Methyl Ethel
One of my favourite bands from Perth have just released five new tracks - Bonza!
  
7) Darwinism by Holy Holy
The first track to emerge from the Aussies' second album should whet your appetite for more.

8) Give Me A Reason by Jagwar Ma
Another cut of pure groove marinaded in Screamadelica.    These Aussies must be close to releasing a second album any day now.   

9) The World Is Overtaking Me by Mystery Jets
This Pink Floyd inspired band have released this tune reminiscent of Gary Numan's Cars.

10) Guilty by PJ Harvey
Polly Jean Harvey releases a great new track that is not included on her recent album.

11) Lose My Mind by A-Trak & Tommy Trash
Groovy electro collaboration between the Canadian A-Trak and Queenslander Tommy Trash. 

12) Beverly Laurel by Tame Impala
New music from Perth's Tame Impala.

13) Whipping Boy by Ball Park Music
Lead single taken from these Australians' excellent fourth album called Every Night The Same Dream.

14) One More Night by Michael Kiwanuka
Classic sounds from this Londoner taken from his debut album Love and Hate produced by Danger Mouse.

15) Extreme Ways (Jason Bourne) by Moby
A new version of the classic Moby track taken from the new Bourne movie soundtrack.

16) Sunkick by The Shimmer Band
Third single from this new British group.

17) Inside Your Sun by Venus II
A new Australian band with an uplifting electro anthem 

18) You Belong by The Avener featuring Laura Gibson
A new song from the French house producer. 

19)California Gold by Dodgy
Still trying to recapture the classic sound of The Stone Roses.  At least that is something totally unattainable but worth aiming for nonetheless.  

20) Talent by Pixies
Short n' sweary.
