Recommended Listening - Lorde

Thanks to Katherine (is awesome), I've been listening to Lorde all morning.

Highly recommended, guys - press play.

(She's from NZ, she's only 16 and she writes her own stuff).

You can download her full EP here, for free.

Love this song.

The first in a series of 'backyard' New Zealand gigs and my newest favourite song.
(Skip ahead to 2:35 if you're impatient for lovely sounds.)

Sounds good

I've been listening to NZ soul and hip-hop duo JBrown & The Mic Smith this afternoon - thought you might like to, too. (You can download their EP over here at Bandcamp)

Rose Tinted

David Dallas released his sophomore album The Rose Tint online a few months ago, and offered it up for free download. Now there's a Deluxe version on music store shelves - and if you like good music, you should get yourself a copy. There's 5 bonus tracks in the Deluxe version, plus an all Instrumental disc which I've had on repeat for days now. The packaging was designed by Special Problems.
