JJ is that blonde chick from Europe with dreads right?

She's doing an album with Doom?



And i got put on to Hundred in the Hands last year or maybe longer ago, but they're like a guilty pleasure or whatever. Really inviting, melodic band. Excited they're putting out an album.

These were my two least favorite songs from their tour last year, so it is not surprising that I am 50/50 on these right now.

Both are definitely growers, but I'm not going to listen to them anymore until I find out whether they are on the album. I don't want to burn myself out of any songs before the album drops.

Really like the job Ben Allen did on the production of Honeycomb though, and I still expect the album to be AOTY contender

Thank fook there's an Alt-Music section again. With an even better name.

Well my favorite album of the year so far has been the Chromatics record. Then TOPS, Frankie Rose, and Trust.

Really looking forward to Beach House and DIIV (aka Dive):

[Honga Ciganesta]

Youth by Simian Ghost, Blunderbuss, Blues Funeral, latest Magnetic Fields and Leonard Cohen releaes are my top five.

Burial EP and Sleigh Bells are cool too, nothing has really blown me away so far though.
