50 songs from last year – #11 – Sophie – Hard
I didn’t really like ‘Lemonade’, sorry.
50 songs from last year – #12 – Javiera Mena – Otra Era
Chilean electro-pop. Those synths!
50 songs from last year – #13 – GFOTY – Secret Mix
1. More PC Music, so some people are going to hate it 2. GFOTY is ‘Girlfriend Of The Year’ – here she is interviewing Little Mix. 3. It’s not a song, it’s a mix tape, and not really mixed, and … Continue reading
50 songs from last year – #14 – Mr Twin Sister – Out of the Dark
In 2010 Twin Sister were my new favourite band, then in 2011 their debut album was the biggest disappointment of the year, then they disappeared completely for a few years, were dropped by their label, then returned this year with … Continue reading
50 songs from last year – #15 – Christina Vantzou – Going Backwards To Recover That Which Was Left Behind

50 songs from last year – #17 – Ten Walls – Walking With Elephants
This song genuinely sounds like walking with elephants.
50 songs from last year – #18 – Run The Jewels – Oh My Darling (Don’t Cry)
Awesome East-coast hip-hop, overshadowed as usual by the so-so collaboration they did with a big name singer. This video / song is absolutely NSFW.
50 songs from last year – #19 – Aphex Twin – minipops 67 [120.2][source field mix]
2014 saw an actual new Aphex Twin album. His last one came out while I was living in Southampton, so that’s quite a while ago. Syro is too good to be disappointing, but not special enough to be a highlight … Continue reading
50 songs from last year – #20 – Future Islands – Seasons (Waiting On You)
Another case of a band suddenly becoming huge without doing anything particularly differently from the way they’ve been going for years. On one hand I’m happy to see them get some well-earned attention, on the other I wonder if this … Continue reading
