Time for another little list of tips. Since I have a soft spot for Scots and their music, here are a top five of awesomeness:
- The Blue Nile with the album Hats was imprinted on me as a kid and I wont bother analizing why I find it great. When I listen to it now it so obviously comes from a different time. That sound is such an early nineties thing, but the songs are, to me at least, timeless.
- The Twilight Sad I've pushed for before so I will just say that they have an album coming out early 2012 which I am really looking forward to.
- King Creosote is someone I'd describe as creative and uneven. The album Bombshell is an exceptionally sweet treat for the ears though without much experimentation going on. Just solid songs and fun, honest lyrics.
- Frightened Rabbit, with the album Midnight Organ Fight, are beyond amazing. Just listen to it. Lyrics are sharp and grimy at times, beautiful at other times. Great singer. Fantastic music.
- Finally, Mogwai. Staying on top of their game and making instrumental music that never gets dull or repetitve. Stellar.
