Festival Playlist

    

 Here is some fairly new music by bands/artists I have found myself listening to over the summer whilst on the road with LG.

1. Spoon: Inside Out - I heard this on hype machine a few weeks ago, and I keep coming back to it when we are travelling. I didn't have the same connection with the rest of the album, but this song just doesn't get old to me.

2. Unknown Mortal Orchestra: So Good at Being In Trouble - Mark Foster (foster the people) told me about this band, and recommended their 2nd album 'II'. This is one of the best songs on the album.

3. Tom Misch: The Journey - I found Tom's music a while ago when i downloaded his free EP, and have listened to his music throughout this summer. He plays/programs everything on this track with no samples used.

4. Hozier: Take Me To Church

5. Foxygen: How Can You Really

6. Soak: Sea Creatures

7. Rhodes: Breathe - David has supported us a few times now on our UK tours, and I've been a fan of his music for a while now. This is his new single.

8. Claptone: Cream - this track was released in 2012, but I only discovered it recently.

9. Jaymes Young: Dark Star - Jaymes supported us on our very first tour of the USA, and then our first UK tour that followed. I think he's currently locked away writing a new album, and he plays his first headline show in LA very soon. He has so many killer songs, this being one of them.

10. Knytro: My Motive (Movement)

11. Perfume Genius: Queen

12. Girls in Hawaii: Misses - I watched this band at a festival in France early on this summer. I had no knowledge of them before, but they have made 3 albums with some success in Belgium. I don't think the music translates as well on record, but their live show was awesome.

13. WarPaint: Love is to Die - We recently played a radio conference in Boulder, Colorado where we played on an incredible bill with Paulo Nutini and Ray Lamontagne in a tiny 400 capacity theatre. Just before our show was due to begin Dot and I were hanging out around the back of the venue when we heard this Warpaint song being played out on a fairly loud system nearby. We walked towards the music, and saw the band playing on a makeshift stage in a car-park to no more than 50 people.

14. Joey Bada$$: Big Dusty

15. London Grammar: If You Wait (SHY FX remix)

16. Lapsley: Station - I saw Lapsley perform a great set on the BBC introducing stage at Glastonbury.
