Mixtape Music Mondays: Peaking Lights - '936'

* PEAKING LIGHTS - ‘936’ * facebook.com/PeakingLights Husband and Wife duos of late have tended to produce twee folksy pop, Peaking Lights are breaking that trend. Their sound is ambient and psychedelic with a dub edge, laid back and hazy, sun-speckled and nostalgic. The instruments evoke another era whilst the production remains resolutely modern, layers of warped sounds build over...

* TEETH - ‘WHATEVER’ * myspace.com/teethdance There’s no other way of dressing it up, this is a loud, in-your-face, hi-energy party album. If you’ve been lucky enough to see one of their live shows you will know that Teeth are a formidable force, the stage is rarely uninvaded and the crowd are never quiet. They have now translated that vigour onto record, bringing us one...

DOLLY PARTON!! BETTER DAY

* DOLLY PARTON - ‘BETTER DAY’ * dollypartonmusic.net There are few artists that enjoy such universal popularity as the irrepressible Dolly Parton. She’s back doing what she does best as she brings us her first new album since 2008. ‘Better Day’ is classic modern country with hints of the rootsier sound she has worked with over the last decade. And, because...

* CHARLES BRADLEY - ‘NO TIME FOR DREAMING’ * thecharlesbradley.com You’d be forgiven for thinking that this sublime slice of soul was a lost album from that golden era when Stax ruled. But no, this beautiful album of revivalist soul is one of the latest releases on the wonderful Daptone Records. The Charles Bradley story is the manna of Hollywood, a natural talent left...

* Memory Tapes * myspace.com/memorytapes In 2 albums, Memory Tapes have crafted a sound all of their own. A swirling synthetic landscape underpins the live instruments that drive the songs and Dayve Hawk’s reedy voice lilts over the top. The difference between the first and second albums is that the songs have become a little more direct. ‘Player Piano’ may have the same...

* Wye Oak * wyeoakmusic.com Coming from the same town as Beach House and having the same boy-girl dynamic inevitably leads to comparisons being made.

Wye Oak produce a much rawer sound and the more you listen, the more you...

loveinks.com Proof, if proof be needed, that catchy pop doesn’t need to be multi-layered and over-produced. Picking up on the minimalist aesthetic of The XX and the dreamy lo-fi melodies of Warpaint, Love Inks bring us their debut album ‘E.S.P.’. Coming in at under 30 minutes, Sherry LeBlanc’s dreamy vocals are underpinned by stripped back guitar, bass, the occasional...
