This Is Music: This Is Music 1

Released 27 May 2009

TEN TRACKS: THIS IS MUSIC, May '09
It's their birthday this month, and they're showering US in gifts! Ten of them, of mixed indie style, and constant indie quality. Ladies and gents indeed, This Is Music...

Cardigan Kids 0

Cardigan Kids

Tie For Jack

Optimistic and wistful, harmonised and determined, impressively balanced guitar pop. We like.

If Winter's The Same 0

If Winter's The Same

The French Quarter

Mood-strong, sparse, patient. Like the thoughts you'd have looking at a lake that's almost at freezing point. And a great song too.

27 Russian Friends 1

27 Russian Friends

RBRBR

Daft party electro stompin' that will elicit an irresistible 'yes' from your lips. No wonder they're so popular in the Urals.

Popolo Pompeii Track Art 0

My Pompeii Cat

Popolo

Have you ever played musical chairs to krautrock? Well now you don't have to: Popolo have condensed the stop-start party joy and autobahn stetch for you here, without the risk of bruising.

A Hit 0

A Hit (live at The Bowery)

Rob St John

Time-stopping folk song. Stunning.

Elegy For The Good Times 0

Elegy For The Good Times

Jesus H. Foxx

How many tracks could be called both 'sprawling' and 'charming'? Few. One of the many reasons this is well worth your listening time.

Take The Tongue Out 0

Take The Tongue Out

Mitchell Museum

Harmonic, jaunty, countrified indie-style stomper - an explicit invitation to catch them live.

All I See 0

All I See

HOMEwork

Witty, sharp and disaffected indie rock. Altogether catchy and altogether smart.

Takkat 0

Takkat

Esperi

Pretty ambient, this. Okay, it's not thaaat ambient; but it's really, really pretty.

Rayshot 0

Rayshot

Dirty Summer

Euphoric synths lead you on a wayward dance through a forest of agressively spined riff-trees, underpinned by a rhythm of crucifyingly perfect beats. Nightmare pop perfection, you'll love.

    Yes, there is nothing but white noise on the RBRBR track. Bummer.
