Just Two Friends In Lust

LCD Soundsystem – Bye Bye Bayou

A cover after Alan Vega’s 1981 song and what a cover it is. James Murphy has always been able to take the anthem out of every song he’s ever covered and this is no exception. A sexual Daft Punk scented new wave gem that will surely fill every dancefloor around the world.



Los Campesinos! – There Are Listed Buildings

Los Campesinos! amaze us with yet another great track from their upcoming album. While it starts as a twee song, it evolves into a noisy, shouty (and rather dissonant) piece. The subject at hand is a typical one – boy like girl, girl doesn’t like boy – but Gareth Campesinos! twists the words with a Morrissey-an skill (‘We are but two atheists in lust, you know, we gotta make our own luck’).


Grammatics – Double Negative

Reasons why it’s arguably one of the best singles of the autumn: the overly dramatic cello, the marching drums, the way Owen Brinley’s voice almost turns into whisper as he reaches the bridge, the exploding chorus.
