We heard that the San Francisco-hailing Dodos were in town, and couldn't rest until they'd played a rockfeedback session for us. Playing in their original duo form, we're treated to Meric Long's soaring vocals and acoustic riffery, and Logan Kroeber's almost melodic rhythms on three tracks from their latest album, 'Time to Die'. Inbetween times we chat to them about the nature of their music and its performance, and the very fabric of the universe itself.

Hotly tipped indie darlings Two Door Cinema Club have been loosely compared to the gargantuam likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Broken Social Scene, but have also picked meticulously at the best bits of British music - the disco-punk of Bloc Party's Silent Alarm, the agit-rhythms of Talking Heads and the melodies of 80's pop bands like Spandau Ballet...Despite this melting pot of influences, the band are still one of the most distinctive and original bands pummelling at the doors of the charts right now. We met the fellows for a very personal, cosy little session in lieu of their debut album being released through Kitsune records and published through our sister label, Transgressive records.

Adored by music-critic-behemoth Pitchfork and with an ever-growing, dangerously passionate fanbase, Los Campesions! have been bubbling like a slowly heated kettle for some years now, but with the release of their second (brilliantly titled) second album 'Romance Is Boring', they are about to poetically drop-kick their way into the big time. We packed the seven noisy chaps/chapesses into our offices to film what turned out to be a mind-bendingly gorgeous session.

The latest star of our unique Rockfeedback sessions – artists playing in a room with little more than a light bulb and their instruments for company – if Jess Bryant isn’t widely adored pretty bloody soon, we’re going to take to the street and start smacking random strangers ‘round the face. A uniquely delicate but powerful, disturbing and beautiful voice singing an array of quite haunting songs, we also chat with Jess about her music, the nature of performance and compositional ideas.

A privilege it was to have spent a particularly gorgeous afternoon in the presence of Marcus Mumford and his sons recently, as they performed for us the fourth of our Rockfeedback Sessions in the space below our London office. Further to four spellbinding versions of tracks from their debut album ‘Sigh No More’, the band reveal themselves to be wise beyond their young years in a frank and revealing interview, discussing life as a ‘new’ band, the wait to finally make their debut LP, and their place in the folk scene, indeed, if such a thing exists.

When we were offered the chance to have Emmy the Great down to perform for our fledgling 'Rockfeedback Sessions', we jumped at the opportunity. One of those writers who transcends the label 'singer-songwriter' despite sitting there with nary but her voice and guitar to carry her songs, we get in-depth and in-session with one of the most genuine folk talents on the circuit.

For the first of our Rockfeedback Sessions - a new series of special exclusive performances for Rockfeedback, we invited Fleet Foxes' J.Tillman and his own band for a incredibly memorable afternoon of wonderful harmony-drenched Americana. Fuelled by enough bottles of spirits to kill many a horse, we also had a chance to speak to the band after they played.
