Brief Comment on a New Band on My Radar – Get Back Guinozzo

Carpet Madness Get Back Guinozzo album cover
I actually can’t recall where the recommendation to check this lot out originated from, but so far I’m kind of glad I did give it a listen regardless of where it came from.

It’s far from the best album I’ve ever heard, and probably will not even make it through to the hallowed position of a band or album I listen to regularly. But, seeing as though I’ve not heard anything noteworthy from their fellow countrymen and also purveyors of relaxed and leftfield electro that is “Air” for a while, “Get Back Guinozzo” are a worthy substitute for the “Air” intermission until I hear “Love 2″ properly.

I think I’ll be giving it plenty of plays over the coming weeks and months as it’s great music to work by, relax to and generally listen to without feeling it’s taking over your existence at that time.

The standout track is the album named “Carpet Madness” which is a floaty, uplifting and surprisingly well produced and full-sounding little ditty.

I predict much praise from the blogs for that particular track and perhaps some good reviews from the big guns (The Guardian, Pitchfork, Metacritic et al) for the album in the future.

Give it a go at least.

Essential Addition to Your Summer Playlist – Discovery

Discover LP Album ArtorkIf summer ever comes that is; I thought it was meant to be always sunny and warm down here – or so my cockernee friends always told me.

Anyway, Jon Hicks yesterday posted a brief intro to the new band Discovery (he discovered it perhaps?). Discovery are a side project taking 50% of its members from Vampire Weekend and 50% from Ra Ra Riot a blend that works for me as I quite like both bands.

This type of synthy electro pop is the perfect way to brighten up your day a little. Have a listen over at the Hype Machine.
