Take from ‘Hearts’ by I Break Horses
Out now on Bella Union
Stan says: #Friday. Rapidly coming to the conclusion that few things help us forget a hangover better than five minutes of expertly crafted Scandinavian nugaze. I Break Horses may not be breaking any moulds here but that doesn’t stop this from being one of the best album openers we’ve heard all year. TURN IT UP.

Stan says: #Friday. After one of the strangest weeks in London Town, and though not so in keeping with the theory that Friday tunes should be at least 70% dairy content (initial inspections suggest this is 30% at most), this beautifully uplifting new tune from the forthcoming Beirut album seems as good a thing to listen to as any at the moment. It doesn’t quite slay the ghost of ‘Sunday Smile’, but few tracks do.
Elemenophee – Small Packages

Stan says: #Friday. One from the vaults. The illegitimate offspring of Gainsbourg + Byrne’s little known 60’s love affair.
‘Ooh I like big things in Small Packages …’.
