Fabio Lendrum - Don't Wait For Me
(From MySpace via This Must Be Pop)
The London singer who scored a Popjustice Song of The Day last year makes a foray into Italo-house. Arrogance, tunes and a nice, tidy haircut - the frippery and folly of pop stardom awaits.
Ishivu - New Clear Head
(From Dödselectro)
Grumpy electro from a 16-year-old producer from Överallt, Sweden with an Olive obsession (he's not alone there etc etc).
Noa Nowa - Untitled
(From Unchained)
A string-toting Japanese five-piece boisterously loading Arcade Fire's pomposity onto J-Pop's spindly skeleton and seeing how far it can stumble. Makes less sense than Whitney on Opera, but great fun nonetheless. A NMOW goodie bag (last Thursday's G2, a half-packet of Fisherman's Friend and a DVD of Luigi Batzella's Nude for Satan) for anyone who can find the English title for us.
Shaunise - Baggage For Sale
(From Mastaplan)
The cat-like quirk of Shaunise's vocals suggests a bout of Baduizm. No vaccine as yet, but regular exposure to Thelonius Monk seems to be helping. We wish her well.
Athlete - The Getaway
(From Punkreas)
Athlete are back, readers! Athlete! Ummm ... What a revolutionary, err ... What a re-invention of the ... They've ... No. We've got nothing. Anyone else?
