Two new ones from South London wonderkids Disclosure. Both are on the upcoming The Face E.P. I can imagine Control, featuring Ria Ritchie played almost anywhere in London this summer, swanky city garden terraces, grotty basement soundsystems, massive clubs, back yards, city parks, on tinny headphones on the train, the list goes on. 

In What’s In Your Head they cook up a warm and comforting post-apocalyptic lounge setting. Pretty gripping stuff, and sexy to boot. Work it. 

Pre-order The Face here. 

Control ft. Ria Ritchie by Disclosure

A classic. 

Finally got around to listening to Father John Misty’s Fear Fun. It’s a spectacular album, crisp and tender and endlessly interesting. Out now on Sub Pop. 

Cracking debut album from Alt-J. Full stream here, out May 28th on Infecious Records. 

  An Awesome Wave by alt-J

Robin Gibb died last night. Very sad news. 

And just as I was pontificating about how much I’m enjoying pristine production and high fidelity I come across this, an adorable dirtbag of an album by King Tuff. It’s called King Tuff and is out on Sub Pop on May 29th.

…and for the tenuous Pop Goes The Radio link: Raf Daddy from The 2 Bears is set to play Leefest, a non-profit south London festival taking place June 29th and 30th. Also set to play are Mystery Jets, Ghostpoet, Slow Club, Bastille, and yours truly! I’ll be spinning twice on the Friday, more details as I get em. Get in! 

It’s out there alright. New from Halls, on the excellent Sounds Of Sweet Nothing label.

I’m enjoying Sean from Drowned in Sound’s youtube playlist of music documentaries, there are a few I haven’t seen here. No more work getting done for another few weeks.
