The Music Geek Monthly Stereo Picks

 

Music Geek Monthly

Music Geek Monthly is Cardiff’s collective of the musically obsessed so they’re bound to know a good tune when they hear one!

This is what’s on the Music Geek’s stereo this month…

This month’s top 10 are:

Lower Dens– Brains

Fabulous track from the Baltimore band’s 2nd album. My favourite album at the moment.

Beach House – Myth.

The stand out track for me from Beach house’s triumphant dream pop return.

DZ Deathrays – No Sleep.

Loud, brilliant, fuzzy and urgent track from the Australian duo’s new album.

The Magnetic North – Bay of Skaill.

The surprise hit at the most recent Music geek event. Majestic and haunting folk celebrating the Orkney Islands.

The Tallest Man on Earth – Criminals.

Beautiful song from the Swedish singer songwriter’s 3rd album.

Exitmusic – The Modern Age.

Taken from the dream popish Brooklyn band’s debut album.

Quakers – Fitta Happier.

Catchy hip hop from a band with 35 members and from an album with 41 tracks. Great song.

Chromatics – Tick of the Clock.

For any fans of the film ‘Drive’ starring Ryan Gosling. You may recognise this!

Three Trapped tigers – 1.

Loud, in your face stuff from a brilliant noise/maths rock band.

Kate Wax – Dancing on your Scalp.

This track keeps nagging me to come back and listen again. I absolutely love it now! Avant garde Swiss electropop.

Hope you like the tracks too!
