As the beloved Brit-Pop trio is about to finally release their fourth LP "The Dream", we invited Alt-J keyboarder Gus Unger-Hamilton to share some reflections on his favourite record yet. Celebrating the Kings Of Leon shortly before they went stadium-rock superstars, the musician strongly roots for the 2004 sophomore record "Aha Shake Heartbreak" and kindly shares the advice of giving records more than one superficial listen.
As this decade is approaching its end it is time for a little reflection on all the great music we experienced over the course of it. Of course, this is NOT an ultimate and universal Top 100 list. It simply can't be but these are the songs you should definitely give a spin before the decade is over. The Top 25 tunes include classics by Tame Impala, Bon Iver, Robyn, M83, Lorde, James Blake and more.
Although this decade isn't entirely over yet we still like to already take a look back on its musical highlight. And especially the independent music scene seems to fully freed itself from any limitations and boundaries during these ten years, resulting in quite some memorable musical moments we'd like to share with you.
Hyped British indie band ALT-J presents their new single Hunger Of The Pine. It’s the first musical teaser off their just announced upcoming second album This Is All Yours. The new album is set for a release on September 22nd (in Germany already on September 19th) , featuring 13 new tracks by the band. Hunger Of The Pine is a slow grooving and atmospheric piece of ALT-J at their best. And it also samples MILEY CYRUS. Yes, indeed. Spot her right here.
