Young Colossus.

Young Colossus is a stunning new art andmusic collaboration project masterminded by Orlando Weeks of The Maccabees. The project is a 6 song soundtrack accompanied by a 24 page illustrated book detailing a story between a gentle appearing giant and a girl, through different adventures in a dreamy organic appearing environment. The soundtrack, written by Orlando Weeks, produced by Nic Nell and illustrated by Rob Hunter, also features additional vocals from Alessi Laurent-Marke of ‘Alessi’s Ark’.

Alice Meets… Robert Glasper

Soothing and stimulating at the same time – hip hop blended jazz with electronic frosting and sprinkles of just about anything; the music of Robert Glasper satiates just about any musical appetite – and, is truly beautiful.

Get People.

Get people are three guys from London creating some of the best marimba/bongo banging dance music in the world. Surprisingly none of them ever played in a Korn cover band.

Sisters.

Sporting better hair than At The Drive In and incorporating xylophones and what sounds like a distorted accordion (but is probably a guitar) in to your songs, while being totally awesome at the same time is not easy, trust me I’ve tried.
