Volcano Choir - Island, IS
iTunes / Spotify

This is a song I’ve literally only just started to listen to, and I think it’s just amazing if I’m being honest. I’m shocked that it’s taken me 2 months of this projects existence before hearing any of it.

Why? Because Justin Vernon of Bon Iver is part of it, and I’m just swept off my feet by all of his songs.

The music behind this is song is the same as any Collections Of Colonies Of Bees (the other guys in the project) track you won’t of heard. If you like it, that is a band you should definitely check out.

Admittedly this song is by far the most normal on the album ‘Unmap’, and for that reason I appreciate that it’s not for everyone, even if you like this song. I find some of the tracks a little too hard to listen to properly. Another one worth a listen though is titled ‘Still’ which is interesting mash-up of Bon Iver’s ‘Woods’ from the Blood Bank EP released just under a year ago and Collections Of Colonies Of Bees interesting progressive style.

David Brubeck - Unsquare Dance
iTunes / Spotify

If you don’t know who David Brubeck is I have two words for you: “Take Five”. If you live in the U.K you probably recognise this song from some T.V advert, I can’t remember what for. But really everyone should just know this song as soon as it starts to vibrate your eardrum.

At the moment any Brubeck track I listen I would love to share with others. The chances are if you enjoyed - even if just slightly - what you have just heard, you will love a lot more of what this great man has produced.

The Cinematic Orchestra (feat. Roots Manuva) - All Things to All Men
iTunes / Spotify

I admit that rap is not one of my most listened to genres. This is probably down to a lot of violent and vulgar shit which is a common product of the type of music. This I believe to be a problem as it means that I don’t find more modern masterpieces to listen to - Like this.

The production of this track is simply remarkable. For a song just over 11 minutes long, and one where it takes 3 and half minutes before any vocals, there isn’t a moment within it where I found myself being bored (I realise that this video is only 5 minutes) - something which sometimes happens in a 4 minute song to me.

It’s so good it teases your patience slightly. When you do listen through this song (and I really hope you do) you’ll find youself thinking “something else needs to happen”, and that’s at the point that the next bar of music adds in the bass guitar.

This video is also pretty cool if you like to watch stuff more than listen to it.
