Bear In Heaven - The Reflection of You (Hometapes)

“The anticipation for a follow-up album has been steadily increasing, not least since the band started streaming a 400,000% slowed down version of the album on their website (it’s due to end on the album’s release date)…”; release - 2012

Plants and Animals – Lightshow (Secret City)

The band’s position as an underrated and for the most part undiscovered outfit might just lead to a few surprises for those who stumble across them, but unless tracks like ‘Lightshow’ are picked up by the press it looks like the band will continue to sparkle in the shadows of others…”; release - 2012

Santigold - Big Mouth (Warner)

There’s no sing-along chorus - instead the track is dominated by a frenzied tribal beat that Santi skips over with near-unintelligible vocals that add to the rhythmic nature of the song…”; release – 2012

Halls – Lifeblood (The Sounds of Sweet Nothing)

Porcelain Raft - Unless You Speak From Your Heart (Secretly Canadian)

“It’s undoubtedly dream pop, but the dream seems to be far more lucid in this case than in most of the genre, and carries more of a cutting edge as a result...”; release – 2012

Leonard Cohen – Darkness (Columbia)

“Before reading any review of a Leonard Cohen song it’s worth remembering that he’s practically untouchable, in the same way that a Tom Waits or Paul Simon are untouchable, and any opinion expressed about his work will always wither under the general consensus that he is a music legend. That won’t stop me from doing it though...”; release - 2011

Nicolas Jaar - With Just One Glance (Circus Company)

“His sound may not have progressed much over the past year, but the track retains all of the understated cool of his album, a sound that would fit in equally well at a smoky jazz club or on a DJ’s decks (at a very, very good club, mind)...”; release – 2012

The Magnetic Fields - Andrew In Drag (Domino)

“As funny as anything The Lonely Island have ever come up with...”; release - 2012

The Shins - Simple Song (Aural Apothecary/Columbia)

“Simple song writing (pun intended) has always been one of The Shins’ greatest strengths, but this new track attempts to jazz up the old formula a bit, with a highly produced sound that will be unfamiliar to anyone only acquainted with the band’s earlier work...”; release - 2012

Ital - Floridian Void (Planet Mu)

“Ital is the name for Daniel Martin-McCormick’s side project when he isn’t being part of duo Mi Ami, a side project that will have to become a full-time job if he continues to churn out music of the quality of ‘Floridian Void’…”; release – 2012
