Tracks Of The Week

Here's five more tracks this week that have caught my attention. Enjoy!

1. My Morning Jacket - Circuital

My Morning Jacket are a fairly well known American rock band who were brought to my attention a few years back with the track 'Off The Record', which, to this day, is one of my favourite songs. I don't usually feature bands I think people may know but My Morning Jacket are quite low key and I feel the need to recommend them to more people. This song is seven minutes twenty three seconds of varied paced electro acoustic rock with, what feels like to me, comforting yet slightly nostalgic lyrics. The track sounds vaguely similar to Kings Of Leon - Knocked Up, back when King Of Leon were actually good, with it's cyclical structure of starting of slow moving to faster pace and ending up slow, fading out.





2. Kitty, Daisy and Lewis - Paan Man Boogie

Second up we have a track that I recently heard on Guy Garvey's Sunday night radio show. Kitty, Daisy and Lewis are a jazz/blues trio who incorporate elements of ska into their songs. This track in particular is an instrumental that I enjoyed. Possibly not the most accessible track out of the five, however have a look at another of theirs entitled 'Going Up The Country', which has some resemblance to Amy Winehouse.





3. AgesandAges - No Nostalgia

Possibly the least well known track on this list is by AgesandAges. A band who were recommended by someone on Twitter. The group have brought together a mix of classic American indie with soul and great vocals to create something different from a typical English alternative rock track.





4. Avi Buffalo - Remember The Last Time

Now I'd be lying if I said I found this song this week or even recently but it is a song I have been listening to a lot lately. I actually discovered it around the turn of the year reading another music blog about the persons favourite tracks of 2010. The indie pop track is packed with a subtle emotion that filters down through the captivating guitar solos and haunting lyrics. I only have a couple of tracks of the album, but it is a certain buy in the near future.





5. Cherry Ghost - Mathematics

Maybe the most well known band on the list and another example of a band who I have yet to fully dig into and find out how many great tracks they have. However, this is certainly one of them. Just simply a lovely song, and the videos pretty cool too.
