Jagaara, Cosmo Sheldrake, Frazey Ford and Vance Joy

My laptop’s been in the repair shop for the past two weeks so I haven’t been able to update ya’ll on all the music I’ve been loving, so really quickly here are my highlights from the past two weeks:

Jagaara, we saw these sisters for the first time at Latitude Festival, they’re great, and pulled off a lovely set in Stoke Newington last Thursday – they’re touring the UK this autumn.

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Cosmo Sheldrake perform at the Barbican this week as part of Transgressive’s 10th birthday gig – I love how he makes his music!

Vance Joy played at the Empire this week, I love his album, but his Bruce Springsteen cover was one of the highlights of the gig. He’s one lovely australian.

And just because I heard this song on the radio this morning and fell in love with it completely, Frazey Ford September Fields.

Laurel and Jenny Lewis

Autumn has well and truly begun and with it brings GIG SEASON. Can I get a woop woop?! WOOP WOOP. This week’s gig highlights came from the brilliant Laurel, and the awesomely cool Jenny Lewis.

Every one of Laurel’s songs is perfectly constructed, pop music at it’s utmost best. Shells just happened to be my favourite by a couple of notches this week, Nicotine Dreams a very close second. I can’t wait for an album!

I’m a new convert to Jenny Lewis thanks to a friend forcing me listen to the Voyager album, and boy do I LOVE the Voyager album. I couldn’t stop beaming the whole way through the gig, but she played With Arms Outstretched for her encore and it blew me away.
