More Information

Foals -

Indie-funk five piece The Foals, who make an irresistible blend of electronic-pop, dirty disco and pulsating indie-tech. Punked up, funked out and most definitely music to get down and boogie to. '…one of the hottest new bands in indie - they deserve your immediate and total adulation.' - NME

Fionn Regan -

Simple and perfect, Fionn Regan's chirpy rhythms, repetitive melodies, and poetic lyrics keep the listener mesmerised from the start. The result is hauntingly beautiful and devastatingly understated. Hailing from Ireland, Regan's music is a breath of fresh air. From Bella Union's vast array of talented artists, Regan is someone to keep a close eye on.

King Creosote -

Otherwise known as Kenny Anderson, Fife based electronic/acoustic folk demon King Creosote started his career as a musician as the singer/songwriter with Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra and Khartoum Heroes.

Lightspeed Champion -

Devonte Hynes of Test Icicles fame with new band Lightspeed Champion, making a genre-defying fusion of country, indie, lo-fi and experimental indie to produce something rather moving, powerful and sweet.

Mystery Jets -

'Perfectly formed pop' (Bugbear). A band who manage to do something new with the rock sound. Their music is unusual and boundary pushing, but luckily they have the technical prowess to pull it off, sometimes mastering kitchen utensils as well as more standard instruments.

Simian Mobile Disco -

Debaucherous minimalist rave from London duo James Ford and James Shaw. Using the kind of vintage minimal beats that only a 1980's Casio can produce, this eccentric pair somehow manage to make techno sexy with their use of static vocals and fragmented rhythms; '...twisted disco as it should be.' - RoughTrade

Tunng -

Folktronica for brainiacs. Sam Genders and Mike Lindsay (from Static Caravan), with Phil Winters and Ashley Bates, producing music that sounds a bit like 'the Beta Band doing the Wicker Man' and helping to define a new wave of psy-folk in the process.

Mechanical Bride -

Songtress newly signed to Trangressive Records.

Listed on Ents24.com since: Nov 2006

Of Montreal -

Not Of Montreal at all, but of Georgia, USA, making synthesized pop laced with Beach Boys melodies and Bowie-esque melodrama.'Fueled by love, frosted with joyous psychedelia, and infused with subtle percussive polyrhythms...' - Glorious Noise
