MUST HAVE STAPLE TRACKS PT. 2

Simian Mobile Disco release a brand-new album ‘Temporary Pleasure’ through Wichita Recordings on 17 August 2009.

The album will be preceded by the single ‘Audacity Of Huge’ on 03 August 2009. 

Its really not nice to introduce a band as “the one with the song used in the ipod ad”.

Its a given that a band would get a much more attention and scrutiny if their songs are used in an apple commercial.

The title of my post also didn’t highlight that..

It would be convenient to do so but no i’m not gonna do that.

It doesn’t do Chairlift justice.

The song used in the ad was bloody brilliant and I really don’t know how apple keeps on doing it.

These 2 bands have already set the pace for indie/electro records for the year and what a bar they have set.

MGMT was formerly known as the management and
we here at !tashed concur with the rolling stones to declare
MGMT the artiste to watch in 2008.

This brooklyn band is currently travelling with yeasayer and is pure psychedelic pop goodness.

Just grab the tracks and fall in love.

Vampire weekend are the latest band to hoard and run riot in the indie music blogosphere.
And its for a good reason.

These columbia university alumni (NYC again!) have performed alongside the likes of The Shins, The Kills and Supergrass on Jools Holland so be sure to watch out for them.

Being influenced by african popular music and western classical music
has resulted in the freshest sound i have heard in a while.

Know them before they get all over the wretched radio waves.
