Out This Week

Yep, it's pissing it down again, but that didn't stop another batch of records making it to the shelves. So which of this week's deluge had us singing in the rain and which had us running for cover...

Remi Nicole 'Fed Up' / 'Go With The Flow' (Island)
Here we have another female internet sensation of the Lily Allen ilk, but while Remi Nicole's songwriting may be a tad less interesting than that of la Allen, there's a simple beauty to the brow-furrowing 'Fed Up', while 'Go With The Flow' provides a bouncy, motivating antidote, detailing her progress in the world of indie so far. Remi admittedly works the 'I'm a tough London girl' angle, but her silvery voice, unaffected London accent and basic guitar strumming has a charm and talent that's less grating than that of Kate Nash, and a smidgen softer than the Lilster. Intriguing.




Mutya 'Real Girl'
Former Sugababe delivers a musical two-fingered salute.
The Cribs 'Men's Needs'
The video to this song was so raunchy it got banned.
Biffy Clyro 'Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies'
The Scottish rockers have gone all Flash Gordon on us.
Voxtrot 'Blood Red Blood'
Are indie guitars and orchestration a bit passé yet?
Maroon 5 'Makes Me Wonder'
Sunny Californian pop-funk with added frug agogo...
The Stills 'Destroyer'
It's actually much better than its ominous title suggests.
Wiley '50/50' / Bow E3'
The East London grime merchant makes us want to lie down, in a good way.
The Mitchell Brothers 'Sole Mate'
Mike Skinner's pals have fallen in love with, err, their daps.
Adjagas 'Lihkolas'
They may be 'yoik', but these Norwegians still make beautiful music...
