TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB - TOURIST HISTORY
(Kitsuné Music)
(Kitsuné Music)
Jaunty luminous guitar riffs, French dance-floor beats and chorus lines that stick to your brain like chewing gum on hot pavement. It’s as if Foals, Bloc Party and Phoenix had a private disco called Guilty Pleasures: it’s not the future of music, but we all secretly want to go there. It might be just a one-night stand but we promise you won’t feel bad after this one. And isn’t this what pop is all about?
LIARS - SISTERWORLD
LIARS - SISTERWORLD
(Mute)
These guys change with every album so, again, we’re in for a surprise. The art-punk basement party from 2007 has exploded and Sisterworld is miles away, at the edge of the fading shock-wave. Their voices now float mystically over the remains of guitar-feedback and waves of ethereal synths. There is a certain 70’s psychedelic feel to it but the band’s dystopian discomfort is still present. And when you least expect it, these landscapes are suddenly invaded by the loud and ferocious Liars we missed.
JÓNSI - GO
(Parlophone / XL Recordings)
Ever wished to sing along a Sigur Rós song? Now you can. The Finnish band’s vocalist sings in English in his new solo project composed with the help of the young musical genius Nico Muhly. Comparisons with Sigur Rós are inevitable but this album moves away from the cold post-rock landscapes of his band. In Go, Jónsi has created a bursting evergreen world, filled with Nico Muhly’s intricate arrangements of strings, brass instruments and glitches . A sure fire to be the most joyfully grandiose album of the spring.
DRAKE - THANK ME LATER

DRAKE - THANK ME LATER
(Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown)
Former child star trying to make it big in the music business? Might sound familiarly uninteresting. But with two Grammy nominations and the uber success of the single “Best I Ever I Had”, Drake appears to be on the right way. His inspiration Kanye West and the hip-hop mogul Jay-Z are on the guest list. And with rumours of a collaboration with legend Sade, there are plenty of reasons why we should keep an eye on this.
