Wild Beasts is a band from Leeds, UK. This is their song All The Kings Men.

The lyrics are a bit on the dark side but I really like this song. This album (their second) was featured on Pitchfork’s top 50 of 2009. Good stuff.

and we are the boys
who’ll drape you in jewels
cut off your hair
and throw out your shoes
cause baby, you won’t need them, where you’ll be

Peter Gabriel, who needs no introduction, recently came out with an album called Scratch My Back where he plays selected songs from a variety of artists. The intention being that they would also eventually do one of his on a second album. His rules for his version of the songs was no drums, no guitars. The songs turned out beautifully. This is his version of Bon Iver’s song Flume.

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she’s the moon

Gil Scott-Heron is a musician, author and poet from Chicago, Il. Most notably known for The Revolution Won’t Be Televised.  This is his song I’m New Here, a spoken word song that I personally find beautiful. The rest of his album is just as beautiful although not all songs are spoken word.

Le duo virtuel anglais Gorillaz ne nous avait offert aucun album, mis à part un de remix, depuis 2005 avec leur bien connu Demon Days. Les voici de retour en force avec Plastic Beach qui risque fort bien de tourner sur les pistes de danses dans les mois  à venir.

Voici leur premier single, Stylo.
