VA - MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER WITH HUW
Not so much an album but a compilation featuring some of the raddest bands that are sure to be big in 2010. The compilation was put together by Radio 1's Welsh champion of new music Huw Stephens. All the buzz bands are on it: Dinosaur Pile Up, Banjo or Freakout, Tubelord, We Have Band and Holy State as well as some bands I have not come across before such as Sweet Baboo and Gold Panda. The album has every thing from loud guitar noise from Pulled Apart By Horses, lofi folktronica from Gold Panda, bleeps and afro guitars and such from Gold Teeth and a bit of electronica from Young Fathers. Like all compilations not every song is a winner but it remains consistent compared to most. I think it would have been an ace idea to release the compilation on tape but it is only available for download :(
