Jon Hopkins

Jon Hopkins - Breathe This Air feat. Purity Ring

"I sleep and I wish for not a thing at all"


This is interesting. Jon Hopkins has done something special here with Purity Ring. Breathe The Air is really quite wonderful. Complex and yet simple. Strange and yet comforting. It might take you a couple of spins to really get this one. That's ok. I don't think it's supposed to be understood or relished like most spins. It's different and that "uniqueness" is what makes this special. Jon has been awarded a bunch of accolades and he deserves everyone of them. There is such talent in this British punter that I am amazed by everything he touches. Gives this a couple of spins and I am sure you'll see what I mean.

Agnes Obel

Agnes Obel - The Curse

"Only then would they know the blessing in disguise"


Angels weep when Agnes sings. It's been a few years since dear Agnes has released a new spin for us but that all changes with The Curse and it's just wonderful. Brother Sparrow has been one of my favorite spins for years now and that wonderful simple mystical sound is again recaptured in The Curse. Sweet, simplistic and haunting would be how I would describe this wonderful spin. It's pumpkin carving, tricker treat begging, autumn fun on a cool evening, with a hot cider and a cuddly lover, wonderful spin. I am so happy to have Agnes back in my life. I don't feel cursed with this spin I feel blessed. Thanks for coming back Agnes. I missed you.

Jaymes Young

Jaymes Young - Moondust

"And there's nothing that I can't do"


This is a spin to the moon and back. Jaymes Young hits again with Moondust. I love it and him. We featured Darkstar back in June and that is a spin that keeps on giving. Now we have Moondust and I love it. Such passion. Such a talent. Jaymes is a star baby and I love listening to him. He takes you for a ride in an "out of this world" kind of way that leaves you wanting more. For me he has been a go to spin this summer and you can feel autumn in Moondust. This is his first album and I can't wait to hear what he has in store for us in the future. Definitely one to watch. Bring it Jaymes.

Ejecta

Ejecta - Afraid of the Dark

"You were somewhat unsurprised"


Ejecta has it. This is a ride. I am having a good time listening to Afraid of the Dark by Ejecta. It's a slow build to a big finish. Joel Ford along with Leanne Macomber have found a quality spin for us to enjoy. I love its beat, the electric synthesizer and Leanne's vocals. Kind of a early nineties mix but with a 21st century beat. Now that's a statement. I guess I feel something familiar with this spin but I know it's a new sound that producers like Joel are spinning for us lately. I tell you I love the fact so much of today's music is one guy with the right equipment dropping spins for us. It has revolutionized music and I can't wait to see where this leads us. Ejecta is sure to be one to lead the way.

Active Child

Active Child - Subtle (Featuring Mikky Ekko)

"Even when I'm gone away"


I love Active Child! Any guy who can make amazing music like this is a god in my eyes. Active Child, aka Pat Grossi, has been showing us love for awhile now and I am still hitting repeat on She Cut Me and Evening Ceremony. Just two tunes from an incredible body of work featured here on My Noise Spinning. Now Subtle takes us for a spin and I am loving this! All of his songs are so emotional. He is feeling ever word and every beat. I guess that's why I love him. I bet that's why everyone wants to play with him. I know I just want to hear more of him. WOW! What a great spin.

Vimes

Vimes - Celestial

"But it's all forgiven and done"


Bring this on! Vines has found there place in my heart with Celestial. It's a killer vibe with its electric beat and soulful lyrics. Reminds me of some spins from the early nineties but with more electric beat. This simple spin takes me for a ride and I don't want to get off. This is the music that is playing when you finally know everything is going to be ok. And it's something we can jump to. I hear these boys are from Germany. Good to see some killer sound coming from a beautiful place. Why am I obsessed with this? It's just that good!

TDeL2

TDeL2 - Fearless Youth

"Nothing left to show"


Sweet sound. Now here's a good ol' corn fed American for us to fall in love with. TDeL2, aka Tony DeLuca, has found a sound we can get behind with Fearless Youth. It's lovely, enchanting, and just beautiful. I am loving this. It's good to see an American out there and on My Noise Spinning. I have been so inraptured with acts from Australia and England lately I almost forgot where home is. And this is home. It's sweet, simple and well just lovely. Thanks for bringing me home Mr T. I needed this.

High Highs

High Highs - A Real Hero (College Cover)

"Back against the wall and odds with the strength of a will and a cause"


Well this is fun. High Highs reaches for the sky with a College & Electric Youth's A Real Hero and they do it just fine. It's wonderful. Another Australian band. I tell you I am going to go there and see why some of the best talent out today is coming from down under. I've just posted a few of them. There seems to be so much more. What's fun about this? Everything. The sound is right on, the harmonies kick butt, the guitars are beautiful and I love the drums. They hit it out of the park with this one. Hey, who wants to go to Australia with me?

Banks

Banks - Change

"Cut me to pieces, while you watch me"


Powerful! Nothing better that a song about girl finding herself and the strength to overcome the nonsense. After the fantastic Warm Water by Banks it is nice to hear her spin out another one with Change. This ones deep too. Why do beautiful girls put up with terrible relationships. I'm not a beautiful girl but I've been there, I've done that and I walked baby and so should you. If its bad it ain't gonna get any better. I hope you hear this and feel the strength coming through this amazing voice. Lead us Banks. You show us the way and we will follow.

Brolin

Brolin - Portland

"Sunshine you should waste your time better"


Another great track from Brolin. I am obsessed with Reykjavik. That is an amazing spin. So I went looking to see what else I could find from Brolin and there is was, like a gift, waiting for me, Portland is a better spin than Reykjavik. It's a groovy spin that is perfect for an Autumn afternoon dreaming about a summer beach. There's just a rich vibe about this that I keep hitting repeat. Man all this great music now days is going to put me in the poor house. How could I not own this terrific spin. Join me won't you in Brolin bliss.

George Ezra

George Ezra - Budapest

"It may be hard for you to stop and believe"


George Ezra is a shooting star baby. Young, handsome and so unbelievably talented. This young man is someone to keep an eye on because he has super written in the stars for him. Budapest is a fun little spin that reminds me of some old R&B singer with a guitar, a song and a street corner. I spun George Ezra's It's Just My Skin a while back. A deep dark spin that knows loss. It's nice to hear the light heart shine bright in Budapest. I tell you this guy is going to be as big as his voice. I'm rooting for you Jorge.

SOHN

SOHN - Lessons

"This time Id like to need you less"


I have no words. This spin by SOHN leaves me speechless. Lessons is electric but with a soul. How do you describe heaven? It's so complex with a R&B rift, electric beat and a understanding of life that can only be found through pain and sorrow. I want to make it better. I want to understand why. I want you to hear the complexity of living on this spin that only a heart that has been broken can share. Incredible spin here SOHN. WOW, I'm speechless.

Los Waves

Los Waves - Got A Feeling

"I know your waiting but there's so much to do, please don't stop dreamin''


Now this is a serious spin. Los Waves are not kidding and Got A Feeling is sure to tell us what it's all about. Man, where did this come from? It's like you've heard it before but at the same time you know this is so new you have to give it a spin. It's got it all, a rhythm that pounds, guitars that mean business, lyrics that haunt your soul and then some xylophone to tickle us into submission. Leave it to London to find a new sound. Love this!

Zola Jesus

Zola Jesus - Fall Back

"I would do anything to be the one with you, forever"

If you know Zola Jesus you know this is a little bit different that the normal sound you would usually find on a Zola spin. I am loving the simplicity though. It's filled with heart and Fall Back has a richness to it that I'm delighted to share with you. It's not with out Zola Jesus original style but rather a growth in that style that allows for this spin to take flight. I love it. I want to hold it in my hand, I want to catch it from the air and give it a little kiss. I want to let her know I will be right here for her and she need not worry. Wow, this spin makes me Prince Charming. How did that happen?

ASTR

ASTR - R U With Me

"As long as we got each other we can be so much better"


ASTR hits again with there latest sweet spin R U With Me. Operate is one outstanding spin and now this just keeps the party going. I find strength in you. I found love in you. Don't keep me guessing sweetheart. It's a question I have to ask and ASTR is asking for me baby. R U With Me? Two are better than one and I won't kiss and tell. It's a question baby. Just let me know.

Ball Park Music

Ball Park Music - Surrender

"Give in if it makes you feel better"


Do you know Surrender? Not when you give up but this spin by Ball Park Music. It's wonderful. It's been around a while but it just blew in over here and I'm loving it. Australia sure does turn out some hot spins. It's not just koalas and kangaroos down there it's amazing groups like Ball Park Music. What a strong indie spin this is. I can hear it down at the pub as you ask for night of a little slap and tickle. Sure I might, who am I kidding, I'll Surrender baby.

Wolf Alice

Wolf Alice - Blush

"Don't chicken out, it's all good"


Wolf Alice is such a sweet find that I have to share another spin with you. I fell hard for Bros and now Blush is spinning me bad. Such raw power, such beautiful lyrics and I'm bought and sold on this group. It's a dream ride on a fluffy cloud, then a native dance by the fire and these guys got that something something. I'm just so very happy that they came out to play. "Punch drunk, dumb struck, happy happy" is my new mantra.

Vaults

Vaults - Cry No More

"I don't want to die no more"


Bells baby, I hear bells a ringin' and this is just bliss I tell you. Cry No More takes you for a spin and I'm lovin' the bells baby. Don't cry sweetheart. It was. That's enough. It might hurt now but it won't hurt forever. I like to say once you know love you will no how to get back there again someday. Like a destination, once you know the path, you'll find that bread crumb trail when you walk there with another. Until then let's listen to the bells and Cry No More. Bells baby.

Little Daylight

Little Daylight - Restart

"Show you want it feels like"


Little Daylight ROCKS! They sparkle with Glitter & Gold, they enchant with Overdose, Name In Lights is phenomenal and this Restart is absolutely wonderful. Saturday night all dressed up and out looking for trouble this spin is cranked up and screaming for us to live it up. Ready to do some jumpin'.  Let's laugh as we turn it around and live it up. What fun this has been I don't want it to stop. Thanks for a great summer Little Daylight. Why I think you sound like 2013.

Amason

Amason - Went To War

"I'm not running, I'm not failing nor am I evading"


Sometimes there's nothing better than a duet. Amason does it right with Went To War. I don't want to fight about it. I don't want to hear mean words come out of that sweet mouth that I love to kiss. Why does it have to be war? Why can't we have thumb peace? I am war'd out and I want out troupes to come home. I want to be surprise by your return. I want to be reminded that we loved each other once. War and love seem like the same thing sometimes and I don't like it. I do like this spin though. Give them hell Amason.
