I do love discovering new music whether it’s a band, album or individual track. So, with nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon I decided to browse the net for something new (to me) and chanced upon the below track. Love the vocals and composition, especially when the bass kicks in.

Artist – Bonobo
Track/Song – The Keeper (Banks Remix)
Genre – Electronic

What have you found recently that you’d not heard before and like?

Absolutely tons of stuff, can’t get enough of it. 😀

Something slightly different from the the flatlands of Europe

I can confess to being addicted to discovering new music. Loads of good stuff on the Tune Association thead, much posted by that schrickvr6 fella.
My latest discovery, amongst many

Not new but new to me and discovered in the last five minutes.

6Music have been playing Bonobo recently. One of my main sources of new music, along with The Word magazine, and Uncut, which I picked up this afternoon after a quick browse in WHS. There’s loads of good reviews of new stuff in there, and a good sampler CD as well.
Grimes, Andrew Bird, The Civil Wars, The Magnetic Fields, The Cornshed Sisters, Dirty Three…
Stacks of excellent stuff out there, I just wish I had both money and time to check it all out.

Thank you 6 music

I get most of my stuff crosslinking through youtube and soundcloud, and to a lesser extent review sites like resident advisor and pitchfork etc. Edit: and from Dez and the like on the awesome tune association thread.

Really like that Grimes album, especially circumambient and colour of moonlight.

I find loads of stuff I like but I very rarely go back for a 2nd listen

A new Com Truise remix

And the goosebump inducing yet to be released ‘I dream for you’.

These guys are awesome, although there’s one absolute stinker of a track on their album sat right in the middle of 6 otherwise excellent tracks. Edit: although listening to it again, I thinh 50% of the reason I like this track is for the comedy value, it just makes me laugh.

I still do it old school, especially by picking up ‘Stool Pidgeon’ and ‘The Skinny’ magazines, both of which can be at times funny, but great for accurate new reviews.

The iTunes Store exposes me to the vast majority of new stuff, particularly the Genius recommendations, which is based on my library – excellent that I reckon. Occasionally I’ll hear something on STW that I like and there have been some decent tracks put up on this thread already!

Genius propped up VNV Nation so I checked them out a few days ago – Wow, what a track this is.

sooo pleased you said that deluded, I get loads of stuff from Itunes, just zapping about, but I was too embarrassed to say. LOL

Oh, or the even older schoolerer method of picking up on backing bands at gigs, these guys were backing White Denim last year and put on a great set, we walked into this track, it gets really good about 1:40

13floormonk – i ran across the men last week and have been living the joy since (ordered the new album last night – even more varied than leave home, and on first impressions Good)that track you’ve put up gives me a warm Rudimentary Peni/Flux Of Pink Indians type glow every time.

Great free app on iphone called discover music,just put a band in and it gives you loads of linked bands of same ilk,and great band histories and tenious links,also links to hear tracks ,i know you can do same thing elsewhere,but its a really good interface

Spasmic Gherkin (excellent login name!) nice shout, I’ll look out for it, or at least add it to the growing list of CDs I need to buy 😕

Those other bands you mentioned, are they similar then? The Leave Home track I put up is about as ‘metal’ as i like my music, any more screaming or thrashing tends to put me off…

Edit: Allmusic is a good site, reviews all albums with respect to the band’s output, so you get a good idea of whats worth buying and what’s not, pretty thorough ‘influences’ links too and lots of samples.

I loved New Musik back in the eighties. Great band. Check out “World of water”. Oh the memories. First single I ever bought was “Straight lines”.

Alabama Shakes is good got a heads up from a workmate.

Discovering new music is ace like checking out gigs for bands that are trying to break though always ace when someone you saw playing a small venue makes it. Saw Frank Turner a few years back at the railway and a few other local gigs awesome now he’s cracked it. Here’s a remix of Frank by his mate (and mine) |’bleiki|

Chris is making so great electronica and is awesome live got some crazy visuals.

why thankyou, though a willy joke for a login brings me inner shame.
in similar notes – would you be a 13th floor elevators reference?

i’ve only got the “EPs of RP” Rudimentary Peni album – they by all accounts went more dark or gothic or summink afterward. Flux were Part of Crass’ retinue, that track reminds me specifically of their “the ”f—— c—- treat us like p—–“ (deliberately painful to listen to as a “separate the true punks from the fashionistas” statement) once a year i see if i can stick the whole 90 minute track of it. not yet.

(having had a quick look round youtube for examples, i might be a bit off with the “sounds just like” bit (still reminds me of them though), so i’ll volte face and say it’s a bit Discharge-y)

I’ve found good music through gigs before, either through support or background music or just through media at the gig. I was at the Chapel Arts Centre in Bath last night, to see David Celia, a Toronto singer-songwriter, and Piney Gir, a Kansas City singer-songwriter now living in London, and I was looking at their flyer, and a future gig is the Paper Aeroplanes, a band I’ve briefly heard on 6Music, so tickets will be had for that, for sure, and I’ll be checking out David’s work, too, as I’ve never heard of him before, although he was the headline act.

Though I was initially resistant to it, I’ve been watching the current series of Skins and some of the music choices on there really are excellent.

Particularly Alo’s episode, which is where I heard of Tom Rosenthal:

Lots of stuff to download for free and his excellent album is inexpensive over at Amazon…

Simply beautiful

The Glitch Mod

Not to everyone’s taste

Bonobo Black Sands funnily enough. Heard it on Radio Paradise which I’d strongly recommend as a way of getting into new stuff – http://www.radioparadise.com – which backed up with Spotify means you can really fill your boots.

An album worth discovering

@emsz – yeah I know what you mean about iTunes and all that but hey ho, I’m not as young as I used to be and don’t go to the clubs that I once did back in the day so invariably I turn to other means – but no less legitimate! I’ve started gigging again so that’s a good thing – but missing the Killing Joke playing in Bristol recently was distressing.

Go and see new bands, not old ones 😉
