Last Of The Fallen Angels: Phase IV

Minimal, beautiful electro music, supporting minimal vocals, paying homage to electro music. It's a perfect concept, executed perfectly.

It reminds me of Massive Attack, but with more intelligence and maturity. And with the promise of two more tracks to come, I'm on the edge of my seat already!

One word: Incredible.

Seraphina Simone: Hollywood $$$

Atmospheric and eerie, with a vocal that bears an uncanny resemblance to Lana Del Rey doing an impression of Lily Allen.

Hollywood $$$ is an ultra cool pop track with a great piece of music behind the sounding vocals about the dark, grubby world of Hollywood.

Jolé: Tie Dye Sky

Lead track from Jolé's latest EP, Tie Dye Sky is the perfect example of how to strip a song back to acoustic guitar and vocals. Although, when the additional instruments come out to play, when those well scattered vocal harmonies show their face... wow!
