Music Monday 47.

Kid Cudi - Capcom



Yes! Something new from Cudi! MOTM2 was a bit of let down, let's be honest, which is a shame for a man with so much talent and depth, maybe too much depth. He's promised to step away from the dark for his new work, whether he means it or not is another matter, and you can definitely see this in this track. He seems to go happy sing a long chorus, dark and speedy verse, not 100% if it works, but so good to hear something new.

Childish Gambino - Break (All Of The Lights Remix)



The ever ambitious Childish Gambino takes on Kanye's monster track All Of The Lights and he succeeds, boy does he succeed. He strips back the original track, adds in some acoustic guitar and then just goes for it. I still think it sounds a little strange when he goes hard and aggressive, he just seems too nice for that, nevertheless, he did Kanye proud.

Fleet Foxes — Montezuma



Now for a chance of pace my lovely listeners, here's the latest track from Fleet Foxes' new album Helplessness Blues. It's beautiful. You can imagine this being played in a church. Sit back and enjoy.

Volcano Choir - Blue Ni Ni



With strong rumors of a new Bon Iver album due out in June, it's good to see Justin Vernon still has to time to put out new material with his band Volcano Choir. It's as transfixing and melodic as you would expect, some familiar riffs in there, yet it sounds completely new. And completely awesome.

Koan Sound - Wide Open



I can't say too much about this band, because I know absolutely nothing. But I really like their instrumental, semi-dub, semi-electro vibes. I've got a feeling this is going to be a perfect band for the summer months.

Music Monday 38.

Back down to our regular sized Music Mondays, although don't worry the quality of the music is as high as ever. Let's get down to it.

Lupe Fiasco - Words I Never Said



With his second single Lupe takes his forthcoming album, Lasers, in a totally new direction from The Show Goes On. Lupe goes at this track hard, he pulls no punches. He works well with Skylar Grey (yeah she's on Eminem's new track too) and just goes for it.

Kanye West - Young Folks (Peter Bjorn And John cover)



I don't know where this song came from, I've got no idea if it's new or old and quite frankly I don't care. It's incredibly. Taking catchyness to a whole new level, Kanye teams up with Peter Bjorn and John (we shouldn't be surprised who he collobs with these days) to cover their hit Young Folks. Oh yeah and there's a bit of a rant in the middle, classic Kanye.

Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues



Those lovely folk, er folk, are giving this track away for free on their website, isn't that nice of them? Yes it is, because this track is a lovely bit of gorgeousness. It's simple, focusing around the voices and guitars and Fleet Foxes pull it off wonderfully.

Funtcase - Make Our Day



Nice and settled after Fleet Foxes? Well this track will wake you up like no other. A unbearbaly huge bit of dubstep here. It also follows in the footsteps of Cockney Thug of the pre-song phonecall which sets the track up perfectly.
