JOOKBOX #2

I’ve just posted Jookbox #2 on Platform, which may be of interest to a few of you since there’s a lot of aesthetic crossover.

For the uninitiated, Jookbox is a regular column that rounds-up the best music of the past however-long (in this instance, a month), compiled with help from a number of fairly on-point blogs. Hopefully it’ll be pretty useful if you’ve missed out on a few things recently and want to catch up.

You can download all the songs as a zip, or stream them individually. Listed below is the tracklisting (you may recognise some songs from this very site). Here’s the direct link.

Tracklisting:

1. Cults – “Go Outside”
2. Kiss Kiss Fantastic – “Antisocial Butterflies”
3. Disclosure – “Offline Dexterity”
4. Beach Fossils – “Desert Sand”
5. Dunian – “Love To Match”
6. Kisses – “Bermuda”
7. Ale Mania – “Robust Universe”
8. Delorean – “Stay Close”
9. Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti – “Round and Round”
10. Bathcrones – “Vineyard of the Sea”

JOOKBOX #1

Alongside the usual stuff I contribute to Platform, I now write a regular column rounding-up the best new music of the month (or however long it’s been since the last round-up). It’s called Jookbox.

Because you can’t compete with these guys, I asked Transparent, Don’t Die Wondering and No Pain In Pop to help me out with recommendations and they offered up some stellar choices. Click here to go to the Platform post and the tracklisting is featured below (you may recognise a few of these names from our blog over the last month). And how awesome is that artwork!
Enjoy!

Tracklisting:
1. Cold Pumas - “Tropical Guilt”
2. Happy Birthday – “Girls FM”
3. Yuck – “Georgia”
4. Grave Babies - “Gouge Your Eyes Out”
5. Balam Acab - “See Birds”
6. Protect-U - “Double Rainbow”
7. Raw Moans – “Rose Bath”
8. Trash Kit - “Fame”
9. Lonely Galaxy – “Have A Heart”
10. d’Eon – “Prochaine Station”
