Friendly Fires
Pala [ XL Recordings / CD - released 16/May/2011 ] The Mercury Prize and Brit Awards nominated trio Friendly Fires' scorching sophmore effort, 'Pala' has been described by Spin as being full of "white-hot club-wreckers, jittery Afropop, and art rock that recalls Talking Heads at their funkiest." |
British Sea Power
Valhalla Dancehall [ Rough Trade / CD - released 24/Jan/2011 ] 'Valhalla Dancehall' has a glorious scope, moving from the windswept nine-minute meditation of "Once More Now" to the neat electronic pop of "Living is so Easy" through to up-tempo, spiky-guitar workouts. |

Delphic
Acolyte [ Modular Records / CD - released 8/Feb/2010 ] Splicing New Order's patent Mancunian brand of indie disco intellectualism with the unbound, arms aloft euphoria of Orbital, 'Acolyte' is a debut album of ecstatic everyman anthems equally at home on a main stage or lost out in the middle of the floor. |

Sounds of the Universe [ Mute Records / CD - released 20/Apr/2009 ] This is DM's most dazzling and diverse album in years, with the band using an array of vintage equipment, from analogue synthesisers to drum machines, in order to conjure up the retro-futuristic arrangements. |
