Some albums I’ve listened to that I have really enjoyed
-
“Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful” by Paloma Faith is a belter of an album. Not one song to skip.
-
Priest by Priest
I’ve been on a bit of an Electronica / Synth-Pop binge recently, and Priest’s debut L.P, eponymously-titled, fits that habit like a glove. Priest, formally X priest X, is a pseudonym of singer Madeline Priest and producer David Kazyk. Their songs feel like glorious walls of electronic sound. I think I’m right in saying that…

Honeymoon by Lana Del Rey
From the moment I first heard her previous album, “Ultraviolence”, I was hooked. Honeymoon then became my most anticipated album of 2015. And I was not disappointed.

I’m really impressed with Mirrors the Sky album by Lyla Foy (@lylafoy on Twitter). First moments of that album, and a couple of songs further in, her voice sounds like an early Stevie Nicks. Listened twice this evening and may go for a third.

100 Albums #1 – Kiddo by Tove Styrke
My very first album write up goes to Tove Styrke’s Kiddo. I had never heard of her before tonight – she was a recommendation by Google Play Music, based on my interest in ‘Say Lou Lou’. As soon as the first song started, I was hooked. Hooked enough to take advantage of my Android 6.0…

After much refreshing of my music streaming service of choice, she has arrived…

Here’s a band I’ve been listening to lately, Say Lou Lou. Their debut album, ‘Lucid Dreaming’ is stunning.
-
This is the best album I’ve heard in a long time. Outrun by Kavinsky.

Loving Depeche Mode’s ‘Songs of Faith and Devotion’ album

If you walk past my office window you will probably hear me singing along to Depeche Mode’s Violator album.
