It is known by many that I quite fancy Bon Iver:

And the artistery of Man Man:

Now it is known by all that I think La Blogotheque is great.

Electrelane No Shouts, No Calls

I can quite confidently state that Electrelane is one of my favorite bands. They recently called it quits after releasing their fourth full-length on Too Pure. No Shouts, No Calls is a beautifully crafted final album with not one disappointing track. I had the pleasure of seeing the four ladies from Brighton a few years back and it was perhaps the best show I have seen. Never have I been witness to a talent equivalent of lead-guitarist, Mia Clarke who paired with the equally enchanting presence of lead-vocalist Verity Susman, was a delight indeed. I respect and enjoy all four of their albums which retain their individuality while showcasing their collective growth as musicians and band mates.
