Welcome new blog design and welcome new contributor: Gold Lion (below)! Now on with the music.
I’m really, really digging the Wild Beasts debut LP Limbo, Panto. They were one of the bands on my to-do list for a while but never got around to getting it. I wish I had of earlier. Basically Wild Beasts are a Leeds, UK, based band that play indie-pop tunes with one of the most individual and striking vocalists Ive heard in a long time. Lead singer Hayden Thorpe just creates the most wonderful falsetto tones and comes across as something of a mix between Antony Hegarty (of Antony and The Johnsons/Hercules and Love Affair) and Morrissey (of The Smiths).

Leslie Salvador is a Melbourne based DJ duo comprising of Luke Brown and Ricardo Ramos. Chances are youve seen them around town, sometimes playing under the guise of Gaptooth. Anyway, this is a new disco mix they’ve thrown together that Ill think you’ll enjoy. You can catch the boys playing at La Di Da in the city on Friday the 31st too.
Holimoley, this is perfect! thanks for writing
