London Grammar interview

London Grammar - Hannah, Dot and Dan

London Grammar are a *ahem* London three piece whose uploads to Soundcloud at the tail end of 2012 led to a lot of buzz online and on air. With not much to go on, except that Hannah Reid is the silky delicate-voiced vocalist you can hear, there was speculation aplenty as to how/what/when/where and why with this band! A sold out show at London's Electrowerkz later and they're up and away into 2013.

Wilsen interview

Wilsen

Wilsen is an extraordinary 'dream-psych-folk' outfit based in New York, centred around Londoner Tamsin Wilson. The first release Dusk from last year sheer blew us away, the follow up single Anahita is equally as beautiful. Have a listen and check out the interview:

Liz Lawrence interview and new track

Ruth Barnes with Liz Lawrence

Supremely talented singer-songwriter Liz Lawrence dropped by the studio at Amazing Radio to play us a brand new track, Health & Safety, but also to talk about the trials and tribulations of being a young whipper-snapper signed to a major label (EMI) only to realise that it's not all that you dreamt it would be, but quite the opposite. Going indie is the way forward!

6 Music picks: Bambikill & Novella

Every week we get to play two tracks for Tom Robinson on his excellent BBC 6 Music Introducing show... you can listen again here.   

*Bambikill - Forever Will Burn

   Forever will burn by bambikill


Interesting soundscape noodlings from this Bristol lass have caught our attention this week. A solo artist who makes emotional soundscapes that are inspired by 'the unseen world, dreams and visions, feeling lost and lonely sometimes and trying to find some meaning in being a living human being and in death...' she tells us. Bambikill's next album will be dedicated to Joey Chainsaw, her ex collaborator and fiancee who passed away earlier this year. Influences come in the shape of Kurt Cobain, Fursaxa, Bardo Pond and Grouper. We're expecting soft, sad, melodic sounds...



*Novella - The Things You Do

We announced our new show on Amazing Radio today and we're chuffed to be joining a fine stable of presenters... including Mark Ryan who helms the brilliant Amazing Beats show every Friday. Mark is also a good one for tips and he tipped us this little gem from London's lo-fi pop scene. Mark says: 'Really nice almost Riot girl with a dark dark grunge element. Guitars that never give up'. We say, hell yes!
