"The suits weren't just a one off but a staple of a new direction, both retrospective and forward thinking, this balances out as wonderfully contemporary. This is what indie music made in the year 2012 is supposed to sound like, and we can't think of a better advocate of the sound than Eugene."

“Our self-regarding minds are unique to us in the universe, as far as we know - and this very notion is simultaneously an unprecedented miracle and completely isolating and tragic...”

"The future is the exciting part for us in Beal's world, with debut album 'Acoustic Sorcer' set for release in April and tracks as strong as 'Evening Kiss' and today's offering 'Take Me Away', Willis Earl Beal could swiftly become of the most important artists we've come across in a very long time"

“Like many other Mediterranean-based musicians, the music has one eye on the dance floor at all times, but Talabot’s skill lies in marrying the bass grooves and beats with enough clever stuff to make it equally at home in a club or at home…”; release - 2012

“Initially writing a score for Georges Méliès’ recently found and restored hand-coloured print of the film of the same name, there’s innate common sense in letting Air expand this project to a full-length album...”; release - 2012

Win: Copies of Cass McCombs’ ‘Humor Risk’
“Cass McCombs might not be the most forthcoming of fellows when it comes to talking to the press, but he’s certainly generous with the tunes (the excellent Humor Risk is his second album of the year), and pretty friendly to his fans – at least on this evidence...”
Win: Zola Jesus’ new LP ‘Conatus’ on gorgeous marble vinyl!
“If you ask the lonely, bumfluff-faced indie boys in the Rockfeedback office, vinyl is special enough as it is, but this is something else – beautiful grey and white marble effect vinyl that not only looks gorgeous, but contains some truly excellent modern goth pop that gets under your skin like no other record this year...”
Win: A copy of Shlohmo's 'Bad Vibes' LP
"Shlohmo's debut 'Bad Vibes' is undeniably one of the records of the year and the brilliant Friends Of Friends records have given us two copies of it, one on vinyl the other on CD, to give away to you guys! "
Win: St. Vincent’s ‘Strange Mercy’ on Vinyl
“The reason we’ve extended St. Vincent’s reign as our Artist of the Week is not only because we think she’s very good, but also down to the fact that we potentially had something special up our sleeves – namely, a few copies of her recent, 4/5 review-gaining album Strange Mercy on beautiful, round, heavy, black vinyl. And here they are!”
Win: Peggy Sue’s new LP ‘Acrobats’ on signed vinyl
Peggy Sue have given us two copies of their new record on lovely 12” vinyl to offer to you as a competition prize. They’ve even gone as far as to scribble their names on them for you, which as we all know elevates this album from being a very nice piece of music to a truly must have THING.
