On Our Playlist: Indie
Tuesday 21st May 2013 | Cristina
Here's what's on our 'indie' playlist this month.
Vampire Weekend – Modern Vampires of the City
The third studio album by American indie band Vampire Weekend, released on the 14th, Modern Vampires of the City appears to be their most innovative and surprising release to date. Having abandoned their trademark African-tribe-cum-Oxford-graduate sound, this latest outing from the foursome is experimental, original and as urban and complex as the New York City which appears on the album art.
Haiku Salut – Tricolore
Haiku Salut – aka Gemma, Louise and Sophie from the Derbyshire Dales - are the latest product of London label How Does it Feel to be Loved?. Their debut album, Tricolore, is full of the most spine-tingling instrumental music we’ve hears since Sigur Ros. For fans of Yann Tierson and early Mum.
Temples – Shelter Song
Temples are a neo-psych duo from Kettering who look like the Beatles and make music that sounds like a cross between the Monkees and the Beach Boys. A more modern comparison may be the Shins. In every case, Temples’ 2012 release ‘Shelter Song’ is the soundtrack to a sunny, trippy, messy summer.
Coves – Cast a Shadow
Coves’ vintage, psychedelic sound will appeal to fans of the Kills and Primal Scream just as much as it will to blissed-out Jefferson Airplane fans who want to live in the 60s. Cast a Shadow, their 2012 EP, is Coves at their best, mostly due to the Black-Lips-esque lo-fi production and the haunting, reverberating sound of Beck Wood’s low, resounding vocals.
