July was getting away from me and I hadn't created my monthly blog. I'm getting very slack but if you excuse the tardiness then you should enjoy my latest playlist of indie/dance/soul/pop.
1) Timee by Stevan
Dreamy pop from a teenager from Wollongong. I'm tipping him as one to watch.
2) Salt & Pepper by Dope Lemon
Angus Stone should always be watched. This time he has a narcotic hook that buries itself deep in your brain. New Dope Lemon album is out now.
3) Make A Move by Winston Surfshirt
More laid back grooves from Australia.
4) Teach Me About Dying by Holy Holy
Holy Holy will release their third album next year and this is an excellent taster.
5) Lucifer by Charles Bradley
Posthumous release from the soul man singing joyfully about Lucifer and Obama.
6) Sad Boi by Seratones
Fantastic new song from Seratones. Instant classic.
7) She's A Runaway by The Coral
Liverpool's The Coral are still recording great music currently influenced by 70s country pop.
8) Sail On by Noel Gallagher
It's almost ten years since Oasis broke up and if I had to pick sides I'ld definitely (not maybe) be in Noels corner.
9) Repetition by Ride
Speaking of former Oasis members, Andy Bell's reformed shoegaze band are going to release their sixth album next month.
10) Frankenstein by Editors
"Won't you dance like a monster with me".
11) Be Someone by CamelPhat & Jake Bugg
Jake Bugg's distinctive vocals appearing on a pounding dance track.
12) So Far by Thomaz Krause
Big in Brazil and seems to have unlimited supply of funky rhythms.
13) Spell by Hot Chip
Hot Chip's latest album A Bath Full of Ecstasy is full of gems. Great video too!
14) Sister Buddha by Belle & Sebastian
Chiming guitars and another song about finding yourself on a late night bus trip.
15) The Brazilian Hipster (Skeewiff Remix) by Fort Knox Five
Check it out ya, the funk soul brothers!
16) I'm In Love by Mini Mansions
LA Band making cleverly crafted dumb pop rock songs just like Supergrass used to.
17) Good Samaritan by The Hives
The Hives have been quiet for years. It didn't suit them so they make up for it in these three minutes.
18) Drink Too Much by G Flip
Australian bedroom producer who drinks too much.
19) Family Of Aliens by Teleman
Melodic indie pop from a bunch of nerds - very Hot Chip.
20) People Know How To Love One Another by Kaiser Chiefs
Ending with a big feel good anthem. "And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make".
