THE BIG MOON - SUCKER

Juliette, Celia, Soph, and Fern are four Londoners who make up The Big Moon. They came together just over a year ago not as friends but auditioned players by bandleader, Juliette and play the kind of woozy guitar music Warpaint made on their first couple of albums and with a more indie edge. This little number is a great taste of their sound from the 'Sucker' single available on Rough Trade.

Courtney Barnett - Avant Gardener

Melbournite Courtney Barnett's bad day confessional has so many great deadpan quotables while it still finds an ear worm tune. She even set up her own label, Milk Music to release this and others music. Check out "The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas" here.

Director AJ Rojas goes off on one for this single from the narcotic and narcoleptic, Purity Ring's 4AD release, "Shrines". His recent output marks him as one of the up & coming generation of directors to watch following superb clips like Jack White - Sixteen Saltines, Spirtualized - Hey Jane & Gil Scott Heron - I'll Take Care Of You, among others...

Foxes - Echo

Following Louise Rose Allen's superb 'White Coats' earlier this year, she follows with another immaculately crafted indie gem where she falls in love with a Crash Test Dummy only for a female mannequin he rescues from a pool to ruin their relationship. It's a beautifully silly video and well worth your time...

The Shins - No Way Down (In The Studio)

Wow, I've been really impressed with the Shins latest "Port Of Morrow"; and this live version of 'No Way Down' further cements the record as one of the sleeper albums of 2012, so far...
