London Grammar: Wasting My Young Years

I’ve been a fan of London Grammar since hearing Hey Now at the beginning of the year. They have such a unique sound and thankfully every track they’ve posted on soundcloud since hasn’t disappointed. Wasting My Young Years is their most recent offering and I think it’s sublime. Have a listen x

The Intermission Project: Winter Snow

I had the pleasure of seeing The Intermission Project at the Notting Hill Arts Club last night. These little heart-breakers were part of an awesome night of music, including Hopwood favourites Dancing Years, and Ajimal. I would definitely recommend seeing all three acts live if you get the chance x

Icona Pop: I Love It

Both my sisters urged me to listen to this track months ago but I was far too into my depressing winter music to even give I Love It a second listen. But it came on whilst I was shopping with my sister in & Other Stories yesterday and it clicked. Icona Pop soundtracked my breakfast this morning and this song was just what I needed to fuel my craft and chocolate filled day.

A tune like this is well needed in the lead up to summer, especially when it doesn’t seem to be arriving any time soon!

Lorde, Royals

Slick beats from New Zealand songstress Lorde.

My sister downloaded the Lorde EP a few weeks ago, it took me a few listens but I’m whole heartedly into it now. Royals is by far my favourite track, if only for the fact that it refers to a watch as a ‘timepiece’, I’m all over that ironic hipsterness like a rash.

For more of her tunes listen to her soundcloud page. It’s lush.

Paper Cinema’s Odyssey

My sister and I celebrated our birthday by watching Paper Cinema’s Odyssey last night. We’d already seen the show at Latitude Festival in 2012 so knew how amazing it was going to be, even so I spent the entire show mesmerised and smiling from ear to ear. It really is brilliantly done.

If you’re in London, and you want to see live animation at its best then head to the Battersea Arts Centre, the show is on until the 9th of March. Go! x

Night Beds, Cherry Blossoms

I’ve posted about Night Beds before but the album, Country Sleep, was released this month and I can’t stop listening to it. Cherry Blossom is so precious – the vocal build gets me every time. Stunning x
