WONGIE DISCOVERY: local natives - camera talk / airplanes (bbc radio 1 live in session)


local natives - camera talk


local natives - airplanes (bbc radio 1 live in session)

[from last.fm
"Local Natives are a Southern California act preparing to release their debut full length. Upon first listen though, it seems as if there’s no way that can be the case. These songs roll by with the ease, confidence and chemistry of a much more seasoned act. My initial reaction is to compare them to bands known for their celebratory bombast like Broken Social Scene but with the rich orchestration of groups like Grizzly Bear or Fleet Foxes. Actually, here’s a comparison for you. If Arcade Fire were more interested in visiting the beach than reaching for heaven they’d probably sound a lot like Local Natives"]

WONGIE DISCOVERY: chew lips - slick / seven / salt air







FROM RCRD LBL
“Our greatest goal”, Chew Lips’ frontwoman Tigs laughingly asserts, tongue half in cheek, “is to hear our music in the café on Eastenders”.

It is highly unusual to hear a tender young band from East London fantasise about the joys of hearing their music on Albert Square, but then again, there is nothing quite usual about Chew Lips. Not their way of making music, or their live shows, or indeed, their inception. After doing the Indie Band Shuffle, in the spring of this year vocalist Tigs and multi-instrumentalists James Watkins and Will Sanderson eventually decided to start making music together, with only one edict: not to sound like Just Another Guitar Band.

With only that in mind, the trio subsequently decamped to a friend’s studio to test the waters of the Chew Lips sound. “We had no idea what we wanted to sound like, only what we didn’t want to sound like”, James avers. “And I think, in some strange way, that helped us. We didn’t know what we were doing, so we just did everything”. The result was the organic and purely accidental evolution of their current, electronically enhanced sound. Experimenting and improvising, they wrote 10 songs right off the bat."

and what songs they are! check out their latest single 'slick' which is just brilliant!!

ANOUK DAY!: anouk - three days in a row / woman / lost (live @ pinkpop) / today

for those who aren't familiar with this dutch singer / songwriter, anouk is one of the hidden treasures of the dutch music scene. with a soulful rock voice, she is easily one of the best voices to come out of the netherlands in ages. hopefully with her latest album 'for bitter for worse' she'll also get extensive love outside of her region. check out some current highlights from her album below!


anouk - three days in a row
[damn that voice! she just rips through this song! amazing!!! and this is dating me a bit, but doesn't this remind you of the intensity of sam brown's 'stop'?]

WONGIE DISCOVERY: muchuu - somebody tell me


muchuu - somebody tell me
[from their website:

Hey, we are Muchuu. There are two of us. Milky and George. We are brother and sister. The name ‘Muchuu’ – pronounced “Moo-chew” – comes from Milky’s love of all things Japanese. It means to be in an ecstatic delirious trance or dream. Milky is the lead singer and lyricist. She writes lyrics about dreams, things she sees on her adventures, imagination and escapism; appreciating the real things, the little things that make you smile!

George is the melody/harmony synth master. He started playing piano when he was seven and likes keyboards and synths. Especially the £29 keyboard he bought, on which you can only play three notes at a time.

We write our own songs, and have been writing and recording music together for nearly two years. We started by using sound effects from objects that we found in our garage, combined with synth sounds and just seeing what happened!

Muchuu are due to release their debut single Somebody Tell Me on the 30th of November and their album Adventure We Go in 2010.]
