I saw Chron Goblin play at Desert Fest in Camden and they tore it up. My girlfriend and I then got really, really drunk with them and their friends.

Young Aviators - ‘Forward Thinking’
Full of Brit Pop beans, Young Aviators’ debut album Self Help was released through the (worth keeping an eye on) label Electric Honey on Monday.
First single ‘Forward Thinking’ will be out 08/07/13 and is well worth a listen if you like guitars, Britishness and indie circa 1997. Click here to give it a whirl.

Song of The Day: Hiatus feat. Shura - We Can Be Ghosts Now
This beautiful chillwave track comes from producer Hiatus, who, after releasing ‘Fortune’s Fool’ with glass-voiced singer-songwriter Shura in 2011, would have left a lot of saddened minimal-electronica fans had he not collaborated with her again…
