Another monday morning, another selection of not new releases ...
Albums
Angus and Julia Stone
Enchanting, Fran Healey (Travis) produced, debut album from the Australian siblings who specialise in low key, acoustic based folk. Brilliant harmonies and story telling abound as they masquerade as a latter day Paul Simon and Edie Brickell respectively. The duo have just finished supporting their friend Newton Faulkner on his UK tour and go out again in April on an extensive 20 date headline UK tour culminating at a sold out show at the Scala. Radio 2 and 6 music and extensive press support.
Frank Turner
Ex Million Dead frontmans second solo album. Following the same folk-punk blueprint of last years 'Sleep Is For The Weak' this is a further statement of intent. Features to run in the all the metal mags but a major press piece will run next week in the Independent Music Mag, plus reviews throughout the broadsheets. Specialist support on Radio 1, XFM and 6 Music
Black Dog
The First new album in two years from the legendary ex-Warp techno originator. Tough and uncompromising in places, the beats are faster and the basslines heavier. An electronic treat. Update attached
Tracks
Felix Da Housecat
Japanese producer Shinichi Osawa reworks the best track from Housecats third album into a killer slice of 'radio' friendly electro-soul. Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World Right Now and Pete Tong's Essential New Tune.

The Accidental
A delightful little single and the first fruits of a new nu-folk supergroup including members of Tunng and The Memory Band
Rosie Taylor Project
The latest in a fine line of talent unearthed by Leeds label Bad Sneakers, home to The Sugars, Middleman and Wild Beasts (before Domino poached them) Touches of Field Music and British Sea Power amidst the indie-folk leanings on show here
