  • Tune of the Week 21/05/2013: Harts – The Music

    Tune of the Week 21/05/2013: Harts – The Music

    HartsHarts has been featured on the pages of this blog before for his track All Too Real. Finally, solo artist Harts, has released his debut EP. The five track EP includes All Too Real but also includes a track I’ve played all week, ‘The Music’.

    The EP is out a little while now and it gets better with every listen and The Music is a fantastic track. Indie, a little bit dancey and very catchy. Me likes! Harts is Darren Hart to his folks, a Australian guy, signed to Island. The EP was produced by Harts and was mixed by Lars Stalfors (The Mars Volta).

    While you’re here you might as well listen to the full EP.

  • Listen: Kodaline – Love Like This (Acoustic)

    Listen: Kodaline – Love Like This (Acoustic)

    Only seems like yesterday I was complaining about the release date of Kodaline‘s debut album being pushed back. It’s now just a month til ‘A Perfect World’ is released through RCA Records.

    Their forthcoming single ‘Love Like This’ is an uptempo track with a folky edge, ukulele and all. Now, they’ve stripped it all back to Steve’s vocals, delicate harmonies, piano and guitar.

    If you loved ‘All I Want’, then you’ll love this version of Love of This.
