Sunday again, time for new music discoveries, enjoy!
Savages. Checking the
Primavera Sound 2013 line-up I discovered this
all-female band from London. Despite formed in October 2011 and just active live since January 2012 they are already quite a hype, with
NME saluting them as the "
next big thing", so question marks quickly raised. But after checking their June 2012 first release, the double A-side "Flying To Berlin" and "Husbands", doubts vanished. Post-punk that breathes and beats, menacing, angular,
challenging,
anthemic, fire powered by singer Jehnny Beth (
Ian Curtis meeting Siouxsie Sioux). A live EP, "I Am Here", followed past autumn, adding more munition for a band that sounds fated for very big things. What a wild ride is expecting us!
The Rosie Taylor Project. Change of style, on a discovery made after checking the line-up of the
Madrid PopFest. Coming from Leeds but now based in London,
the sextet origins' date back from 2007, when, after signing with Bad Sneakers Records (label now defuncted) they released a first single, followed by their debut min-album, "This City Draws Maps" a year later. Many shows followed until their sophomore release "Twin Beds" on
Oddbox Recordings appeared in February 2012. Sophisticated and mature chamber pop with different sides and
high caliber gems, a band not to miss.
Weird. And with our third proposal we return to more obscure sounds. A trio born in Rome in the second half of 2011, they spent 2012 in the studio, which resulted in the band’s first album “Desert Love For Lonely Graves” out since January 15 (that you can download
for free here). Seven gloomy tracks, between dreampop and experimental rock, singular,
moody and strangely fascinating. Music with a cinematic quality, that evokes impossible landscapes and unravels buried emotions on each song. Slow-burning tunes that sounds ridiculously cohesive for such a young band. Hear & have on eye on them.
