The History Of Apple Pie - Mallory

Tycho - Dive


Californian Scott Hansen has been making music as Tycho for nearly a decade and this week sees the release of his fifth album 'Dive'. Taken from it is free download 'Hours' which has a glistening, chilled feel with ambient synths and a sturdy beat. The sun-drenched vibes and laid back groove are the perfect medicine if these short days are starting to get you down; an MP3 sized S.A.D buster.

Los Campesinos - By Your Hand!


The prolific guys and girls of Los Campesinos! put out their third album (fourth if you count 'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed') 'Hello Sadness' this week. The Cardiff collective are letting us have 'By Your Hand' as a free sample. It's more of the intelligent guitar-pop we've come to expect, and its relatively straightforward style may help convert those who haven't been sure about them previously.
