New Band of the Week - 23/01/12 - Balue

Hello! You’ll be pleased to hear that New Band of the Week is back. We’ve had a little break to put some plans in motion - thus ensuring 2012 is THEBESTFREAKIN’YEAREVER!  But, yeah, I can assure you that we’ll be posting about the joys of new music, every Monday, forever more!

So, who is going to be our first NBotW of the year? Good bloody question!  I’m really digging US natives Balue at the moment (as in Balue from the Jungle Book, I believe).  They combine plinky guitars, that are a bit tinny at times, but surprisingly pleasant; melodic pitter-patter drums and pockets of silence, tinged by the sound of waves and suchlike. It’s quite nice really, and makes me want to sit on a beach, drinking a pinacolada, watching the sunset.

New EP from Crackpot on Melodica - 23/01/12

Aussie band Crackpot have a sparkling new EP out on Melodica on January 23. It's super chilled out, jammed with fat beats, electronic zaps, and  hazy, dreamy vox. Have a listen via their soundcloud.

Flamingods release new tape 'Away'

FLAMINGODS are a psychadelic bunch who play a sound which has been described as ethnic pop, freaked folk and tropical noise. They use a number of unique instruments, collected during their travels around Tanzania and the Amazon. They have been busy toiling on a new release 'Away'. You can order it now on Belly Kids, it's being sold alongside an Aztec Zine.


In support of the release they will be playing a special show on 13th January, at Power Lunches alongside a number of great little bands. 


You can download 'Away' via the band's Bandcamp.
