Arks Up

Late Of The PierBlueberry

It’s The Beatles-meets-Bowie-meets-Horrors-remixing-skills. A yummy piece until the very last drum beat, the very last insane guitar chord. The last 30 seconds or so are completely off the hook.


These New Puritans We Want War

One of the weirdest out of the post-punk revivalists, yes. But that’s what makes them so insanely lovable. Kick-ass drums, cold chants, prog-rock hints, swords unsheathed. Oh, what the hell, in short an amazing and mind-blowing orchestration. Judging by this track alone, These New Puritans sophomore will be EPIC.


Delphic Doubt

It’s New Order-ish, it’s strangely reminiscent of Foals’ math-rock, has bits and pieces of bleepy electro and, despite its coldness and angst that invades the speakers, it is so uplifting. Fingers crossed these guys will get shortlisted on BBC Sound of 2010. They are well worth it.


Dick Diver Walk For Room

This Aussie band is completely adorable (even when they say ‘fuck’) and utterly brilliant. And this song is an instant classic, a perfect gem of magic lazy pop. It also has one of the cutest guitars solos (well, sort of) we’ve heard in a while.
