Low Moon Low are a brand new band from London. This song was recorded with Paul Savage who has previously worked with Mogwai and Arab Strap and the result is really quite excellent. Dreamy, post-rock, shoe-gazing folky loveliness. Enjoy!
Laurel- Next Time
Laurel is 18 and hails from Portsmouth. The track is a beautiful start and I hope there is more to come. Thank you to Breaking More Waves for the recommendation of this beautiful song.

Gabrielle Aplin- Blood
This song is by The Middle East. An excellent band from Australia who are unfortunately no more. Gabrielle Aplin has covered their standout song ‘Blood’ and she’s done it so perfectly I needed to share it with you. This girls voice is so special.

New Treat #110: MØ
Scandinavians really do get the electro-pop thing 100% perfect. MØ is another lady who is beautiful, talented, creative and effortlessly cool. Her music has more of a hip-hop dance feel than the likes of Amanda Mair and Lykke Li, but still has that gorgeously unique and strong vocal, electronic beats and catchy melodies. MØ is Karen Marie Ørsted, the project was born in 2009 after she felt a need to express herself musically. Her first single ‘Maiden’ begins with a repeated summer Vampire Weekend-ish guitar riff and has a quite addictive quality about it. The song is her first single and will be out soon on Danish label Lifted House. A album is expected in the summer.
Her demo tracks are also very strong, I particularly like ‘Longing Bird’.

Boy- Oh Boy
I picked up a copy of the BOY album ‘Mutual Friends’ when I was in Holland and it is really quite excellent. It will be released in the UK in June.
I also saw the girls play at the Borderline in London last week which was incredible- cannot wait for them to return!

Julia Stone- The Line That Ties Me
You can listen to the whole of the new Julia Stone album over at Nylon magazine. The record was produced by Doveman (who also did the Hannah Cohen record) and has some divine moments. This track is my favourite, beautiful.
The record is released on Monday.

Henry Skewes- Coming Home EP
Henry Skewes is constantly impressing me with his songwriting and smooth voice. Last time I wrote about him I commented about how the recordings sounded a little rough. He has sorted this out with the new EP which is much more polished. The arrangements also work really well. Fans of Ryan Adams should definitely check this out.
