Sleater-Kinney|One Beat

This song still sends shivers up my spine.

Could I turn this place all upside down
And shake you and your fossils out
If I’m to run the future
You’ve got to let the old world go
Could you invent a world for me
I need to hear a symphony, oh oh

Fools Gold - Street Clothes

For their self titled debut album LA collective Fools Gold were inspired everything from Eritrean pop, Ethiopean Soul and Tropicalia to the Smiths and Adam Ant. The live shows were incredibly energetic (how many bands have you seen that make the audience leap up from the floor?) and their videos were consistently hilarious. Remember ‘Surprise Hotel’?

And it sounds like they’re not changing tact on this new track. While ‘Street Clothes’ displays a little more of their love for out-and-out rocking, there’s still a lot of WOAHHHing and plenty of intriguing squelches and thumps. As frontman Luke Top sings “there’s no holding back”.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Rebellion (Lies) (Arcade Fire Cover)

Acoustic troubadours are ten a-penny.

Sometimes it can seem like a surefire formula: buy acoustic guitar, borrow capo, grow beard, sing mournful songs. However few people focus as much on their songcraft as Benjamin Francis Leftwich.

Emerging last year, the young English talent released his debut EP ‘A Million Miles Out’. Charming one Jo Whiley, the BBC broadcaster pushed his music hard even making ‘Atlas Hands’ one of her top tracks for the year.

Since then, Benjamin Francis Leftwich has enjoyed a huge boost to his profile. Touring across the country, the singer has been able to explore his songcraft in front of a different audience each night.

Heading back into the studio, the songwriter began work on his debut album last year. Lead single ‘Box Of Stones’ is great first taste, all deftly picked acoustics, hushed tones and profoundly honest lyrics.

Debut album ‘Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm’ is a deeply impressive collective. Simple, stark and full of personality Benjamin Francis Leftwich has crafted something which appears to be deeply personal.

Caught in action on radio last year, Benjamin Francis Leftwich recorded a version of Arcade Fire’s ‘Rebellion (Lies)’. Stripping the song down to its essential core, the singer has managed to add his personality to such an iconic song.
