Sell-out special #1

In lieu of any actual content today, here's some MP3s of lovely songs. If you like them, buy the albums, yeah?

Zeitgeist- Tar Heart
Not loving the album yet. Imagine The Knife, but poppier and less rigid, and that'll go some way to describing this. Sounds a lot like Running Up That Hill. If that's a bad thing, i'm not sure I want to be alive anymore.
Album- 6/10

Alphabeat- What Is Happening?
From their predictably amazing debut (original Danish version, so whether it's been reswizzled for the UK release, i do not know), it's like The Arcade Fire writing a grand finale for an amateur musical.
Album- 8/10

Santogold- You'll Find A Way
Quite why nothing on the album is as good as Ay Ay Ay is something of a mystery. But yes, this is quite nice in a Blondie-meets-The Police sort of way. The middle-8 is fucking terrible though.
Album- 6/10

Three is a lovely number so i'll leave it there.
