Music Monday 43.

I absolutely love this week's post, a good mix.

Twin Atlantic - Free



I've literally had this song on repeat all week. Twin Atlantic provide listeners with some Scottish alternative rock, a poppy Biffy Clyro if you will. This sound is just a massive belter, it doesn't particularly go outside it's comfort zone but it's pounding and passionate with a huge chorus. And that's good enough for me.

We Are The Ocean - The Waiting Room



WATO are very much adopting the attitude of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's clear that the band are definitely going in radio-friendly direction with their new album. Now, that is not always a bad thing, and sometimes its conscious, sometimes it's a natural progression as the band matures. Liam voice is only improving with every song I hear, but I miss it being complimented with Dan's screams, personally.

Childish Gambino - Freeks And Geeks



It was only this week that I discovered that Childish Gambino is actually actor Donald Glover, more fool me. And it was this week that he released his E.P, which is pretty impressive. Freeks and Geeks is the stand out track and naturally the first single. The track is more than catchy, it is the best balance of aggression and word-play on the album, if not a little Lil-Wayne. I don't think Gambino really strikes anyone as a bad-ass black rapper, more white and preppy, and sometimes it seems as if he is trying too hard. It's hard to believe him rapping about bitches and hoes. But nevertheless he's got talent and good flow.

Alex Clare - Too Close



I love this guys approach. A great voice and some great dub/dance production behind his track, a male Katy-B if you will. This track is bound to get some solid radio play and deservedly so. I need to heard some more from this guy.

Tune Yards - Gangsta



I really wanted to finish this week's post with this track from Tune Yards. It's mental. I don't really really know what to say about it, it speaks for itself. I love it.
