The Bobby McGee's

Here comes a new band on Twee As Fuck Records, the label that brought us the Comet Gain - "Love Without Lies" single.
The Bobby McGee's are a band like no other. Formed by a Scottish emigre to Brighton Jimmy where he was joined by a tender-voiced Eleanor and a classically trained jazz musician Graeme. The group has been described as "Dostoyevsky Doing Skiffle!" by Everett True (for Plan B) and likened to "a domestic in a Glasgow boozer, but with ukuleles" (Rory Mackie, Clash Magazine).
Here you can download one their great songs.

God Help The Girl

God Help The Girl is a new project by Stuart Murdoch of Belle & Sebastian. He has been working on it for five years! But no help is needed (not even by god), because it's just perfect music.
There's a single and an album expected on 22/06/2009, recorded with the help of Stuart's discovery Catherine Ireton, Asya of Smoosh and Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy.

The XX

Here's a new band on Young Turks Records. The XX are four precocious 19 year olds from South West London. Their music is just simple and beautiful. Sometimes it sounds like a modern type of New Wave or like Young Marble Giants. Take a look at their MySpace.
The release of their debut album is expected on 17/08/2009. Meanwhile you can enjoy their video.

Parallax Sounds Netlabel

If you are into shoegaze or experimental sounds, you should check this netlabel I have discovered today. Please go to their website or their MySpace
Here is the video of 93MillionMilesFromTheSun, one of the bands on Parallax Sounds. One of their tracks is also available on "The Secret Garden Vol. 1" shoegaze sampler.

Crystal Stilts - "Love Is A Wave"

"Love Is A Wave" is one of the most brilliant songs by Crystal Stilts so far. A perfect two-minute pop nugget in the best punk rock tradition, and a nice video, too.
The b-side "Sugar Baby" reminds me of an amazing band from New Zealand called The Clean.
Both songs are exclusive and not available on their "Alight Of Night" album.
