Anger is an energy, if John Lydon is anyone to believe. This song has energy. Kills Birds are one of my new favourite bands, as transient as that statement is. The non-sensical lyrics just add to the overall feeling of hyperactivity. https://open.spotify.com/track/7n4ftOcvES1iE0VzrI71F3?si=iAIeCkdzST-rKguqgY4MwQ
I was shocked to discover that this wasn't Los Campesinos! IT'S SO HAPPY and at the same time kind of a downer. Dancey without being electro, a bit of a frenzy of xylophonic goodness. https://open.spotify.com/track/2oolh94qlIbmH28hVvYUBV?si=_oZ6W45PSzKS3D1YDg-M1w
Aside from their great name, Mr Ben & the Bens make great music for kids TV shows (I suppose thats why the name is so fitting). Joyous and quirky. I imagine this would be an ideal soundtrack for daydreaming. https://open.spotify.com/track/3xCmrt94Csr2K7bDT3by25?si=9EOG6KeSQCGbrhvKNSNbCw
I saw Weird Milk last year in Brighton at Green Door Store (great venue by the way, check it out) and was blown away by the way they connected with the audience. They have a great retro sixties vibe, sort of like if Art Brut were touring with the Kinks. https://open.spotify.com/track/1cNt6DDTfYrU8Ahc5RFxea?si=gAokrm8GTBqYkWIv3ZBkQw
This is a bit of lyrical genius (in my humble opinion). When Tony Wilson said Shaun Ryder was the next great poet, I think this is what he saw/heard. Just listen, it's brash, it has brass and is a great social commentary. https://open.spotify.com/track/449tx8bd5PFEw5dT0KPpLz?si=YEsFazu7S6iDD1rUUwkVJw
This song has been trapped in my mind for the last week, it is insanely catchy and has the added bonus of being funny and relatable to anyone who has been slightly worse for wear... Check it out below https://open.spotify.com/track/5DKjRqVLXvuS11SvOo7vFg?si=dFQN98jzRl6C9Ycj-IruDg
