We’ve been slack. Sorry.

Pylo – Enemies

Proving that the best things in life are indeed, free, are Bath band Pylo.

Shout Timber – Rich Man

I love a band with a fiddle. Especially a band who give away Rich Man, a track that challenges the idea that money buys happiness with their song that follows a wealthy yet miserable character, and his realisation that ‘all the money in the world no it can’t buy love.’ A little bit Vampire Weekend, a little bit The Smiths, Shout Timber are nothing if not eclectic.

MYSTYRYS – Cloud Appreciation

Cloud Appreciation from MYSTYRYS is a weirdly brilliant tune, a bit like a trifle all mixed up in your tummy but still feeling good.

The Young & Lost Club radar for super talent has done it again, picking up Pylo, this five piece from Bath. Matthew Aldus (vocals), James Scott (guitar), Johan Jorgensen (guitar), Richard Gully (bass) and Max Blunos (drums), like numerous bands describe themselves as a mix of folk, indie, post-rock and the like, which always just makes me think that they are confused. However, Pylo manage to successfully weave together the best of each of these genres into their own distinct and devastatingly direct style. Atmospheric to the max, flickering between glacial melodies and bold chords, this is one of those blisteringly expansive tracks that is also just a damn good toe tapper. Oh, and it’s free.
