Summer Playlist 2010

So I finally finished compiling my Summer Playlist and here it is. The playlist is made up of 19 tracks, all free to download and all oozing with summery-ness. It's got tracks from Tokyo Police Club, Blur, The New Pornographers, Chiddy Bang, Lissie, an exclusive track from Polarsets and mooooorrrrrreeeeeeeee. Download the playlist after the beep.

Stream: Twilight Eclipse Soundtrack

So say what you like about the films (they are a bit crap) but what is clear is that this lot don't half put together a good soundtrack. With each movie they seem to have got better and better. 'Eclipse' sees new tracks from Muse, Metric, The Bravery, Florence and the Machine, Sia, Fanfarlo, The Black Keys, The Dead Weather, Beck and Bat For Lashes (Together!) I could go on and on. Anyway the track-list and my pick of the songs are after the beep. You can stream the whole album here.

Stream: Band Of Horses 'Infinite Arms'

After releasing four tracks to stream, the full album is finally here. Band Of Horses really like to tease us fans. The album sounds really great, definitely a significant progression from the band. You can listen to the album at the bands website here.

Video: Band Of Horses - 'Infinite Arms' Teaser

Anyone else extremely excited.

Stream: Laredo - Band Of Horses

There's nothing quite like getting to listen to a track from a new album before its release. You feel privileged, as if for some reason you were the only one which was permitted to listen. Band Of Horses have now given me that feeling twice within a couple of weeks. Firstly the video for 'Compliments' was released and now they have released another track from the new album for us to feast our ears on (along with some stunning album artwork).

'Laredo' is full of classic Band Of Horses folky goodness however the twangy guitar riffs and heavy drums show a very different side of the Horses from 'Compliments'. A side perhaps, that does drive cattle on a dust filled, sun drenched plain.

  

MP3: Compliments - Band Of Horses

As if the video wasn't enough, you can now download the MP3of  Band Of Horses' new track 'Compliments'. Enjoy.
