Brightblack Morning Light. Listen to the gorgeous organ-based stoner shoegaze ballad on their myspace. They are from New Mexico. Hence peyote, sunsets and too much tequila and flutes.
Santa Maria. New album from former Concrete Maria Eriksson plus some other Swedes straight out of the Moomin forest. I never liked more than one or two of the Concretes songs but agree with Rough Trade honcho Geoff Travis - their cover of Stones "Miss You" is awesome. Also check out ex-Concretes singer Victoria Bergman's new stuff on Rough Trade here.
Lavender Diamond. On Rough Trade too. Beautiful but slightly boring folk music that sounds a bit like that old woman who traveled by horse carriage for five years to Donovan's commune on Isle of Skye, only to discover that all the hippies had left. Shame she didn't have a mobile phone.
The Foals. Not sure about the term "The nu-rave Battles" but they have some fine post/artrock tunes with nice guitars and efficient drumming. And they sound pretty intelligent. Maybe cause they're from Oxford.
Nudes. London rockers drinking Stella in the backseat of Jamie T's battered Opel Corsa. I like the singing.
Pacific! More brilliant gay disco from Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Apostrophes. Their song Eliot is as comforting as crawling under the stuffed tiger in that alpine chalet in the first Pink Panther film.
