Here's the Indie on our playlist this month:
ALBUM OF THE MONTH
FAKE CLUB - F**KABLE
TRACK OF THE MONTH
FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE
The first full album of the band
contains some tracks that had
been released already, such as
"Over and Over" and "Bullet
Brain", plus many others, for
a total of ten intense tracks.
The most catchy are probably
"Midnight at Koko" and
"Generation". They proclaim
themselves as "sick of the values
of our generation" and ready
to promote a different model
to "celebrity worship, glorified
karaoke contests and 'flawless'
faces on the cover of every
magazine". But saying theirs is
a rebellious sound would mean
thinking within stereotypes and
would not even honor their
terrific work. Fake Club are
way more than just a bunch of
folkloristic punks.
They are talented, brilliant and
engaging. I think this is much
more of a compliment than
saying they are rebel. If you are
rebel you might look cool, but
to make good music you need
talent and cleverness, and these
girls make really good music.
Aicha, Chloe, Carmen, Rosie and
Vicky. These are the names of the five
explosive girls forming Fake Club's line-
up. Their album is called "F**Kable"
and is coming out on March 24th 2014.
Although this song made the list
because of its fast- paced beat
and note-worthy lyrics; pretty
much the entirety of Florence's
album 'Lungs' could be on here
for its ability to convey a little
magic in every song, making
it perfect listening for late
February evenings .
'Hardest of Hearts'
On top of being nominated for two Brit Award Mvula's won best
female and best R&B/Soul artist. With just one album, Sing to
the Moon, and one EP, She, under her belt this album has already
gained a loyal following and critical respect. Jump on the band-
wagon before it turns to a rocket ship and breaks through the at-
mosphere, because Laura Mvula is far out.
