Bite Autumn 2012

Alt-J – An Awesome Wave This album is just brilliant, definitely one of my favourites this year. I love the fact that every track is so individual and different with their unique sound. Every song is intriguing and ranges from the melodic acoustic interludes to sharp clever and well constructed songs. www.altjband.com

Jessie Ware - Devotion This is a beautiful debut album from Jessie Ware and I can’t stop playing it. She has a gorgeous voice with well-written songs and great production which creates a winning combo. It’s slick, effortless, easy music, and the songs are understated and easy on the ear.  www.jessieware.com

Band of Horses – Mirage Rock Their last two albums were brilliant and whilst Mirage Rock represents a slight change in style being more down tempo, it is still worth listening to if you’re a fan.Plenty of great song-writing on display here and whilst some of the maverick approach may have been diluted, there’s still much to enjoy.

Yeasayer - Fragrant World Fragrant World is an album filled with creativity and excitement.This remarkable energy inhabiting the record comes out in every song making this album complete. This is probably one of the most interesting musical journeys from this year! www.yeasayer.net

Toy-Toy We end with another debut album and this band’s sound has been described as a combination of psychedelic rock, krautrock, kosmische, and post-punk. They create soundscapes that swoon with guitar and synthesised strings and this is a captivating album from start to finish. http://toy-band.com www.facebook.com/toy.band
