Album Review: Lost Songs Volume 1 (UK) – Various Artists

Lost Songs vol.1 UK
The Lost Songs campaign aims to seek out the next John Lennons, Adeles, Amy Winehouses, David Bowies and Freddie Mercurys and formed a 16-track album, released on Friday through M:89 Records. All songs were recorded at Metropolis Studios where an average of 50% of the UK’s Top 40 Chart is recorded, mixed or mastered.

The record label definitely sourced out Britain’s most hidden gems who crafted something in between easy listening and adult contemporary pop, some having the potential of becoming this summer’s favourites.

Here’s a tip for you: the further you go along the album, the sweeter it gets…so don’t lose faith; have a listen here.

Must Listens: Falling Down by Dawson; Done by Jasmine Paterson; Regress by Lindsay & Isaac; You’ve Got It by Sweet Revenge; You’re My Man by Ben Campani; I’m No Angel by J Eoin.

Upcoming Release: Release Me – The Phantom Sound

THE PHANTOM SOUND are ready to drop their latest effort, Release Me which is the 2nd single from their self-titled debut album out in October.

The indie rock/pop band is heavily influenced by frontman Marisa’s love for the late 70s and early 80s punk and new wave movements, gaining inspiration from artists such as David Bowie, Roxy Music, Blondie, The Ramones, and Duran Duran.

She’s been fortunate to work with several excellent and accomplished artists on this album. Ken Stringfellow of the Posies, Big Star, and R.E.M. is producing the album as well as playing on it. Clem Burke, drummer of Blondie, plays on several of the tracks and Pierre DeReeder, bass player from Rilo Kiley also contributes, among other talented musicians.

Her single, Get to Me, was the top voted song on Charlie Ashcroft’s Audition Show, and has had various radio plays around the U.S. and U.K. She wrote and recorded this album in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, and Paris. Originally from Los Angeles, Marisa now lives in London.

Release Me will be out in September…but for now, check it the striking video.

Star song: F.L.Y – T.O.M project

tom project

Today’s song is F.L.Y (Fucking Love You) by Italian alternative rock band T.O.M PROJECT. The single is coming from their debut EP, The Selfish Love Manifesto, released in March.

T.O.M PROJECT which stands for Temibile Orchestra Meccanica (Fearsome Mechanical Orchestra) is like PINK FLOYD, DAVID BOWIE and RADIOHEAD rolled  into one. A little hard to imagine? Well have a bash at F.L.Y – the DAVID BOWIE- esque vocals works brilliantly with the melodic and slightly aggressive sound of the guitar. Simply angelic.

If this chilled out single is right up your street, you can head over to their SoundCloud page where you can check out their EP.
