Toro Y Moi
South Carolina man Chaz Bundick’s project displays a dizzying array of styles on his debut album Causers of This. From glo-fi ambience to keyboard-led dance-pop to bumpin’ hip-hop jams, it’s exhilarating and it’s out now digitally.

The Horrors remix Florence and the Machine
Proving that Florence Welch’s music is the perfect remix material once again, Tom from goth-rockers The Horrors twists Hurricane Drunk into a magically atmospheric interpretation.

The Ambience Affair debut material
Taken from the Dublin band’s second EP out this month, Devil In The Detail showcases the duo’s penchant for rich instrumentation and the furthering of their unique folk-rock style. The Patterns EP is out tomorrow.

Stunning introduction to one of Australia’s best kept secrets. Not for much longer if the song Blood has anything to do with it.
[Listen at Nialler9]

Alela and Alina
The under-rated Alela Diane teams up with similarly named Alina Hardin for a six-track EP of lovely folk tunes.
[Listen at The Hype Machine]

Goodtime John free EP
Dark Slipped Its Cloak is a free 5-track EP from Dublin songsmith Goodtime John which was recorded in Anacortes ,Washington in 2007.

The XX remix Florence and the Machine
More of a half remix/half cover of Flo’s own cover of Candi Staton’s You Go The Love really. The XX’s vocal duo take Florence’s role before her twisting a sample of her over a dub-techno beat. Sublime.

  • The Whip
    Manchester’s The Whip played Dublin’s Think Tank last night. The band are much-feted for their dancerock style. Sample the infectious disco-rock of ‘Trash’ to see what you missed.myspace.com/thewhipmanchester
  • Lady Sovereign
    The titch with an itch, Lady Sovereign (aka Louise Amanda Harman) is back with a new album next year. She’s lost the chav tracksuit but still has the attitude. ‘I Got You Dancing’ is available as a free download from ladysovereign.com
  • Wavves
    Slacker fuzz fans will enjoy the distorted rock sound of Wavves, San Diego’s Nathan Williams. ‘So Bored’ is the key track thus far. Wavves play Upstairs in Whelan’s, Dublin on February 11.

  • Florence and the Machine
    Hotly tipped on the blogosphere in 2008 and now with a Brit Critics’ Choice Award (the same Adele won last year) under her belt, expect to hear much more of Florence Welch in 2009. See myspace/florenceandthemachinemusic
