[Listen] Slow Magic Shares Eerie New Single "Youth Group"
Slow Magic once again has me hooked. His new cut "Youth Group" immediately creeps up your spine with a eerie synth line, enveloping your head and overwhelming the senses. As the song unfolds, it reveals groovy basslines, distant piano chords and soft violin sweeps, adding a great sense of depth to an already powerful offering. Slow Magic doesn't deliver often, but when he does it is simply fantastic. This one comes highly recommended.
Slow Magic will be going on tour starting next week, opening for Gold Panda across North America. Check out the full list of dates after the jump.
[Beacons] Highlights including Local Natives, Danny Brown and Wet Nuns
With the ever growing number of festivals in the UK it's easy to get lost in a sea of bands you've most likely seen on a previous weekend. Beacons however managed to create a line-up full of diverse acts who chances are, you won't be seeing elsewhere over the Summer in 2013. So with that in mind, I took the trip over to Skipton to see what all the fuss was about. I wasn't disappointed.
[Y Not Festival] Day Two Highlights including The 1975 and "one of the best Cribs shows ever"
I personally think day two at a festival is the hardest. You get over eager on the Friday and inevitably have a few too many. Sunday's easier as you tend to (not always, mind you) have learned your lesson. So with a slightly delicate head on the Saturday, I started my day with a band to shake off the cobwebs after a long and very wet Friday at Y Not Festival 2013. The band I'm talking about are an act who have been hyped beyond belief by BBC radio in recent months.
[Y Not Festival] Day One Highlights including Willy Moon, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip and a very British Summer
Festivals of all sizes are always a blast. Contrary to belief, bigger is not always better. Last weekend I took the trip over to Derbyshire, the county I grew up in from age 4-18, to hit up the fantastic Y Not Festival. A grassroots festival that started in a Quarry with a group of friends. It's now grown to be an award winning small festival with an amazing atmosphere and an ever growing number of big bands topping the line-up. This year was the biggest and best with The Cribs, The Horrors and The Darkness headlining the main stage and a flurry of great bands performing across another 6 stages.
