With the pressures and hardship of summer exams gripping the nation, we’ve gone to some length to share four tracks from the last fourteen days that have stopped us from feeling too blue. Be it the worthy escapism and infatuated innocence of Set Sail, or the emotionally charged acoustic narratives spun by Younghearts. Then of course there’s the excitement induced by the emphatic flow of Google’s Hoodie Allen, not to mention the raucous crescendoes of Walk The Moon that left us itching for the post-exam cathartic celebrations to ensue.
Dreams Up - Hoodie Allen
Home - Set Sail
Billy's Ballad - Younghearts
Anna Sun - Walk The Moon
From the 'grit and decay' of The Barettas, to the cheeky and charming Stages Of Dan we've tried to find a balance this episode. We're not entirely sure what the balance consists of, but we're hoping the incredibly promising post-punk idiosyncrasies of The Savage Nomads have gone at least some way to help offset the bold and brazen hip hop remix of Kanye's 'All Of The Lights'. Sampled by Childish Gambino, an ex 30 Rock writer and Emmy winner turned rapper extraordinaire. After all, not everyones swag is so cheesy it's got high cholesterol...
Touche - The Barettas
