The new album by @theantlers, Familiars, is as ethereally beautiful as expected. Very excited to see them on their UK tour in October!

Fantastic albums up for the @mercuryprize this year. But no @londongrammar? My money's on @DavidBowieReal but I'd prefer @foals or @JakeBugg

Went out for dinner last night and heard a fantastic track by @lostlanderband. Love discovering bands when I least expect to!

Waiting's over, @londongrammar's If You Wait is out today.

Just having a listen to the brilliant debut album by MONEY (@lonelysexydeath) - The Shadow of Heaven. Definitely improving my Sunday.
