M83, MADEON plus THE PHENOMENAL HANDCLAP BAND
January 31st, 2012 by admin
Hey Up! How are ya? Belated Happy New Year and all that jazz. Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet but January is always a bit slow for New Music, ok real reason is I have been moving house a task that has put the ‘M’, the ‘I’ and the ‘S’ into MISSION. Man what a [...]

DJANGO DJANGO, THE STAVES and GOTYE
December 20th, 2011 by admin
I like DJANGO DJANGO, I like them a lot. ‘Waveforms’ was doing the business for me, new track ‘Default’ has sealed the deal. Guitar tuneage with a big nod to the dancefloor and lyrics mocking our current financial plight, what’s not to love? Very different to the above but just as loveable in its own [...]

THE MILK, WISE BLOOD, MEGAN WASHINGTON and THE BAMBOOS
November 9th, 2011 by admin
Liking the gravelly ‘contemporary Van Morrison’ feel to ‘B-Roads’ by THE MILK, plenty of swagger, plenty of groove and most importantly plenty of soul, will sound great on the radio fo shizzle. Nothing retro bout the sound of WISE BLOOD’s ‘Loud Mouths’, loving the unique multi-faceted sound of this record. Beats, squelches and evocative choral [...]

FUJIYA & MIYAGI plus ALUNA GEORGE
October 26th, 2011 by admin
‘Ecstatic Dancer’ by FUJIYA & MIYAGI has ever such a slight hint of Marilyn Manson, a hint of Glam Rock and a definite dash of Soft Cell’s ‘Tainted Love’. What a musical concoction, could go so very wrong but for me its pressing all sorts of buttons, please sir, can I have some more? ALUNA [...]

GEOFFREY LEWIS, AKIRA THE DON plus BODY LANGUAGE
October 12th, 2011 by admin
‘Cult Boyfriend’ by GEOFFREY LEWIS is ace. What a fun, intelligent and catchy pop song, with tracks like these he’s in danger of going mainstream in his appeal – musically and sexually, I think I could turn. Equally fun, clever and catchy is AKIRA THE DON’s awesome new track ‘Babydoll’. A lot of bloggers are [...]

FRIENDS, EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS plus PUSHA T AND PHARRELL
September 14th, 2011 by admin
Loving “I’m His Girl” by FRIENDS. Not just lyrically like my life anthem musically this hits the G-spot whilst other singles are fumbling around clueless. Sultry, funky, dare I use one of the cheesiest adjectives in IndieTown ‘sexy’. This is a great rack, and it’s got cowbells, what’s not to love? Ya can but laugh [...]

RUSTIE, L.A. SALAMI plus MAVERICK SABRE
September 7th, 2011 by admin
MAVERICK SABRE’s ‘I Need’ has been floating around the internet for a while but now he’s breaking through it’s getting the full ‘release works’. A really distinctive voice with hints of Plan B, Liam Bailey and what I imagine Amy Winehouse would have sounded like if she’d been a bloke. Penned for a mid-October release [...]

ECHO PARK, JOE GODDARD plus GROSS MAGIC
August 31st, 2011 by admin
‘Fibre Optic Lovin’ is the kind of track the word ‘dope’ was invented for. A chilled out funk groove complimented by a spot-on vocal I’m loving your work ECHO PARK. Respect! I’ve been most disrespectful towards JOE GODDARD, how ridiculous is it that it’s taken till now for me to remember to mention his awesome [...]

RONIKA, KOF plus THE INDICATORS
August 16th, 2011 by admin
We’ve often asked the great question of our time here on Brand Nu. Forget the riots, World Peace get to the back what I want to know is HOW THE FLYING FUCK IS RONIKA NOT FAMOUS YET? She has it all, she is a fully fledged world popstar ready to go, a great image and [...]

CHRIS TURNER, SKRILLEX plus LANA DEL REY
August 2nd, 2011 by admin
We need to have a natter bout some awesome slabs of New Music, and we need to have it pronto. Who is CHRIS TURNER? Are you familiar? I certainly wasn’t and how ignorant I now feel, it is one of the things I love about New Music, the thrill of the chase, and you’re always [...]
