Bands In Transit.

I'm a firm believer that there are few things better sounding than a man and his acoustic guitar and it was just my luck that I happened to stumble across Bands In Transit's Youtube channel. Rarely is a brand's involvement in a project so subtle and so well suited, but Ford have managed to do it with this project. Bands In Transit, predictably, involves bands playing in a Transit van. But what makes this project so special to be is the quality of artists involved and surprisingly the quality of the locations picked, culminating in some beautiful sounding and looking videos. Featuring some of the hottest and most talented singer-songwriters, take a listen to the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club, Ben Howard, Ed Sheeran and Ghostpoet, amongst a few other of my favourite videos.

Music Monday 49.

Just a small post this week as I've been crazy busy and away visiting in-laws and such. Nevertheless, as always, it's always worth a listen.

Ed Sheeran - The A Team




By the looks of his view count, this guy isn't news to many people, but he was to me this week and I was mightly impressed. A young (looks about 12), British talent that is looking to do something different, check his Jools Holland performance below. I'm quickly listening to everything this guy has done.



Digitalism - 2 Hearts



Digitalism were one of the first bands that started my interest in electro music, tracks like Pogo and Idealistic were literally on repeat throughout my uni years. And now the first track off their amazingly named new album I Love You Dude, is here in the shape of 2 Hearts. And it's clear they've still got it, can't wait to hear some more from the album, I've got a lot of time for these boys.

The Deans List - Dear Professor



There's some definite Chiddy Bang/Childish Gambino vibes in here, some cheeky rhythms over a nice pop-dance beat. It's just nice and fun to listen to, and that's sometimes all you need.
