'An Argument With Myself' - Jens Lekman

3/5/2015

Comments

 
I'm loving this quirky tune from Jens Lekman. I heard it on a TV show, Shazam'd it, then bought it on Amazon. 
I really like that it's different. It's not your 'normal' song per say, and that's what I like about it. He's doing something different, and that's so refreshing! 
Hope you'll like it too x

I AM STRIKES - Bitches / Love is just a way to die

2/15/2015

Comments

 
I just discovered I AM STRIKES, I really, really like the two tracks that have been released so far. 
After some research, I learned that one of the tracks - 'Love is just a way to die' features on the Vampire Diaries. (Quids in for Kelly Rosenthal, who is 'I AM STRIKES'!) 
Hopefully this means that there will be more songs coming soon. 
Check it out. Dark, emotive, real. Love!

**********************      Jamie Evans     ***************************
"Hooked up to a constant vinyl feed from an early age, Jamie learned to feel music before he even considered playing it. With a voice that lights up a room like a match in a firework factory, his influences have given him a knack for creating sonically inventive, lyrically sophisticated music that dances delicately between alternative indie pop and vintage soul."

“Another exemplary addition to the catalogue, a truly beautiful album of perfect pop vignettes – affirmation if it is needed of the mounting acclaim that surrounds them. ……a band on the edge of greatness” Album of the month – Folk Radio

“As soon as you’ve identified one highlight, another comes along. There are no duds here, and the album as a whole has a beautifully judged balance. It is a very fine record. It may come to be regarded as a classic. ” North West Folk

It’s the sort of album you can listen to in a car, or on a bus, or at home, or absolutely anywhere because – get this – it’s absolutely excellent wherever. If you have two ears and a heart, you’ll love this album. And frankly, you’d probably still love it even without one of those ears.” For Folks Sake

“…an effortless piece of songwriting, matching a beautifully lilting melody with lyrics which are pretty on the surface but – if you dig a little deeper – have some troubling undertones…” Clash Magazine

“There’s a sense that these are songs rooted in something substantial, an emotional anchor, holding all the pieces together with a powerful urgency.” 4 out of 5 Thank Folk for That

“….an album packed with such emotional punch.” Spiral Earth

Paper Aeroplanes will be playing Union Chapel in London on 20th November 2014. Book your tickets here - http://store.unionchapel.org.uk/events/20-nov-14-paper-aeroplanes-union-chapel
