Outof10: 7.3/10 (LOVED)

Free Downloads is back! Yay! And what better way to get back into the swing of giving you free stuff to download than with a song as great as this? It’s the debut single from Fitness Club Fiasco titled Goldmine, and it’s a goldmine.

These guys are back after disbanding in the UK and reforming in Canada with a track that encapsulates every that’s great about being happy. Goldmine is layered with all kinds of synth-heavy beats and melodies to create an instrumentation that is riddled with catchy and fantastic sounds. All of this is topped off by some wonderful male and female vocals which provide a whole host of additional vocal hooks for the listener to sink their teeth into and well, it’s just incredible.

Fitness Club Fiasco are back with a strong reintroduction into music and Goldmine shows that they still have what it takes to deliver something good. I can’t wait to hear more from these guys in the near future. Grab the free download of Goldmine here, and enjoy.

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know | Elusive Little Comments

When: 19/06/2013

Outof10: 7.4/10 (LOVED)

Arctic Monkeys have been playing a couple new cuts during live performances but now they have finally released a studio release of new single ‘Do I Wanna Know’. The band is set to release their fifth album sometime this year, and what better way to get back into things with a song as deep, dark and brooding as this.

Much like the style of ‘R U Mine?’ ‘Do I Wanna Know’ features a guitar riff that revolves heavily around the low E string to give it a heavy but seductive vibe akin to QOTSA’s ‘Keep Your Eyes Peeled’ which really grabs the listener’s attention. The riff continues throughout the track and mixed with the walking groove of the drum beat becomes a pretty catchy sound; making way for the chorus which is full of guitars and vocals and sounds fantastic.

While it might not create as much of a buzz as ‘R U Mine?’ ‘Do I Wanna Know’ is still a track that could foreshadow a very entertaining new album from Arctic Monkeys. We could get an album that’s full of heavy guitar riffs that bare a lot of rhythm, and with the consistently good quality of Alex Turner’s lyrics no doubt going to be present it could be an album that’s essential to check out.

Whales In Cubicles - Disappear | Elusive Little Comments

When: 17/06/2013

Where: Club The Mammoth/Believe Digital

Outof10: 7.0/10

‘Disappear’ is the new single by trio Whales In Cubicles. The band formed last year but it took a hell of a long wait to actually get together as frontman Stef Bernardi originally left his homeland of Italy to come to America, where he met Alex and Jamie at a Dismemberment Plan gig only to have his visa expire on him, so then he took to London where the guys finally became a band. It’s a great story, and one that proves that no matter what, England is awesome.

Featuring a guitar riff akin to the likes of Smashing Pumpkins and mellowing out into Dinosaur Jr. levels of chilled ‘Disappear’ is a track that pays homage to the sound of 90s grunge music. With music as distorted and catchy as this, and lyrics getting us thinking about our identities it’s hard not to be turned on to Whales In Cubicles as a band to keep an eye on. 

‘Disappear’ is a hugely enjoyable track full of all kinds of moments that can be enjoyed with every single listen. Whales In Cubicles are set to release their debut album sometime in the Autumn and I can’t wait to check out if they’ll deliver more material that’s as catchy as ‘Disappear’. Check out the video for it below, and enjoy.

Co-Pilgrim - Sialo | Elusive Little Comments

When: 10/06/2013

Where: Battle Recordings

Outof10: 6.9/10

It wasn’t long ago we checked out 22, the lead single from Co-Pilgrim. The duo’s ability to create something that was full of vibrant guitar and synth riffs and wonderful use of oversaturated colours in its music video convinced me that this was something to keep an ear on. It certainly was, as the band’s second album A Fairer Sea became a critical success and continued the universal approval by being a pretty solid listen. Nowadays comes third single Sialo, which in today’s climate of being sunny, warm and generally quite lovely, becomes the perfect soundtrack for this blissful summer.

Sialo retracts from the folk vibes other material had and focuses on delivering some great indiepop music instead. With guitar sounding heavily influenced by The Beach Boys and synth melodies sprinkled on top it’s hard not to get into this catchy summery tune. Not only does this help encapsulate the summer of 2013 nicely but the tenderly delivered vocals allow the chorus to become one of the most infectious in recent times. This is a great song and one that should get everybody in the mood to check out A Fairer Sea right now.
