Listen To More… We Are Enfent Terrible

By Sam Bathe on 22 Apr 2009

When we’re planning our DJ sets, there are a few tracks that make the list before any others. We’ll also slot in something by The Cribs, ‘My Delirium’ by Ladyhawke, ‘Elvis’ by These New Puritans and a track by Mystery Jets. Recently we added another band to our ‘must-haves’, only unlike the others, they’re yet to break their own country, never mind make a name for themselves in the UK. Show the rest of this post…

Opening for the Ting Tings on their dates in Bordeaux and Lyon in the coming weeks, and touring France’s club in between, We Are Enfant Terrible are undoubtedly the next big thing in French electro, the world just doesn’t know it yet. But they will before you know it.

‘Lobster Quadrille’ is a stunning track, finding a balance between the pumping bass and effervescent beats of Daft Punk and rhythm and smooth vocals of the aforementioned Ladyhawke, and the rest of their catalogue doesn’t let up. Expect to be hearing a lot more from We Are Enfant Terrible in the very near future.

Listen To More… Wavves

By Sam Bathe on 15 Apr 2009

They blew us away at SXSW and ever present on our iTunes playlists ever since, blogger and music extraordinaire Nathan Williams, and live drummer RW Ulsh, are doing things with rock that don’t often make it out of a rockstar wannabe’s bedroom. Their music often sounds a little infantile, it’s often a quite simple, but it’s utterly brilliant. Show the rest of this post…

Think pop-rock, somewhere between QOTSA and We Are Scientists. And new single ‘So Bored’ is available from all good digital outlets now, or if you’re lucky enough to stumble upon the sold-out 7″, it’s also on vinyl.

Although we wish Nathan would put a little less reverb and distortion on the vocals and guitar. Live, they sound even better.
