I still can’t get enough of this cover by Wilsen, her voice is so lovely and it suits Grime’s Oblivion so well. Oh and the mournful tone highlights the lyrics brilliantly x

Ásgeir Trausti: Going Home
Icelandic singer songwriter Ásgeir Trausti is absolutely gorgeous. Going Home is one of his few songs sung in English which is why it’s the one I’ve chosen to feature in this blog post – but he’s super talented right? The rest of his songs sound just lovely – if only I could understand them!
Enjoy x
Cat Power: I Found A Reason
If someone had played me this track off the Cat Power Covers record years ago I would have realised how brilliant she is much much sooner.
I Found a Reason is so beautifully played here. I’m clearly going to be listening to her whole backlist the entire weekend.
Don’t you love it when you ‘discover’ someone and instead of having to wait months (maybe years) for new material to be released, you can instead joyously trawl through every album they’re released and fall further in love with their music?! x
Poliça ft Justin Vernon: Tiff
Love how well these two come together on this track – just beautiful x
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
Daughter: Perth vs Ready For The Floor
Absolutely loving this cracking mashup by Daughter recorded on Zane Lowe’s show this week.
Perth (Bon Iver) vs Ready For The Floor (Hot Chip) – Who’d have thought that would work huh!?
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.
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
The Bookshop Band, A Monster Calls
A Monster Calls was one of my favourite books of 2012 and this song by the Bookshop Band, For An Ending, inspired by Patrick Ness’ book is simply put, perfect.
If you haven’t done so already, I urge you to read the book x
