Realist

It's been a while since I've recommended some new talent. I saw this group as a support act fro The 1975 last year when they played in Dublin and I was extremely impressed. A few weeks ago one of their music videos was playing on MTV which I was delighted to see.  Safe to say I'm always a sucker for a rock-chick in a talented band. I can't quiet put it on my finger why I like them so so much. Perhaps it's the fact that they are oozing potential. I can imagine their songs featured on amazing soundtracks in the near future. This is Wolf Alice. I'm going to share two songs which I've been listening to obsessively over the last few weeks, which are Blush and Bros.  Wolf Alice - Blush Wolf Alice - Bros. 

Summer is almost here, I can taste it.  I've been completely swamped with college work and am still powering through, so I've definitely been a little neglectful recently.  However, this is an amazing tune which I've discovered. Good vibes anyone? Also this video is awesome. This is Snakehips with Forever Pt. 2

For some of you this may seem like something I'm unlikely to listen to, but I'm pretty varied with my music taste. A friend introduced me to this amazing DJ a while back and I had forgotten about him. Recently I've been listening to him considerably more lately when I've been going running (when I say running I mean struggling to run). Without further delay, this is the French DJ Gesaffelstein. I'd like to share the video for Pursuit because I think it's a really bizarre video with some really interesting things featured. Also an incredible song.

This exceptional duo where a discovery on Spotify oddly enough. There's something distinctive about these two which I really love and I can't quite put my finger on it. The singer reminds me of Banks, but the music and lyrics are arguably better. Also some aspects of the music, harmonies and looping would remind me if James Blake. Perhaps it's the combination of the two which I love so much.  I'd like to share the video for Bridges. I've been listening to this song on repeat since I've discovered them. Literally non stop. I love the simplicity of the corus with the strong background beats. I also really love the video which is the simplistic concept of exploring a couples' relationship. Something that's become a new theme that I love to see.

It has been forever since I've posted anything on this as I've been extremely preoccupied with college work. There's been a lot of hype surrounding this new and emerging talent that is Hozier. I hadn't really managed to find the time to listen however recently I've been listening to his album on Spotify. I must say it is a rather remarkable debut album which has a wonderfully sophisticated sound with hints of nostalgic love ballads and influence of blues music. I would like to share the video for "Take Me To Church." I was really struck by the lyrics in this song which convey a relationship with a woman as being a type of religious worship. The video however deals with the issue of homophobia. It is beautifully filmed and portrays the story of two lovers and the hardships so precisely in the space of 4 minutes. I have to tip my hat at such an achievement.
