Coeur de Pirate
I added this track to a mellow playlist earlier in the week, to accompany a bit of writing. It was one of about fifteen songs, all on the calmer side. I shuffled through the list of tracks and had them repeat as well, intended as background sound. Each time this track came on, however, I paused from writing and simply listened...
Perhaps the duet of a boy and girl and the paired down melody remind me of my first listen to the XX - an album that grows and grows and grows on you listen after listen after listen. Either way, play this track alone and on repeat a few times. You'll be taken by its calming sincerity, at least that's what I hope.
Bedouin Soundclash - Brutal Hearts (Ft. Coeur de Pirate)
And here's another track from the French speaking Canadian songwriter along a buzzing remix of the same track.

The C90's v. Ted & Francis
After two long months, the Internet has finally arrived back into my domestic life! Web sobriety is the worst kind. London is splendid for a number of things, namely art, design, fashion and bangers (audible and edible), but my goodness, the Internet service providers here are awful. Water under the bridge now, and just in time to stream the World Series with my lady coming to visit. Hummm baby!
To celebrate my return to the world wide web, the Giants and my sweetest, here's a snazzy track I just nicked myself. The C90s are a DJ duo here in London and there track 'Shine a Light' gets the mix treatment by Australia's Ted & Francis. And while were celebrating, let's enjoy original Ted & Francis track off their new EP. That's love...

EUC (Brooklyn!)
I've been sitting on this for too long. I'll blame it on the many many distractions here in London. But, bringing it back home, here's the latest from Brooklyn's own EUC (Electric Umbilical Cord), off their brand spanking new The Prey EP. Wes and Cory are my home boys, so give these two some love. Even if they weren't their beats and new take on post punk is rather infectious. Start dancing in the dark...
EUC - Shattered Glass
EUC - Rising Tide
