Burberry Acoustic


You know how you were already heading to do something and end up going off-course to find yourself doing something else instead? I originally came here to share another band but I came across something BIGGER.

Burberry Acoustic has a really interesting line up of bands, all from Britain. As you can tell from the name itself, it's all acoustic. This is where fashion meets music. I didn't think that I'd enjoy listening to British music this much. I guess they had me when they harmonize or break out into a strong acapella halfway through.

I love that some of bands used instruments other than the acoustic guitar. You'll see glockenspiel, kalimba, saxophone, violin, shakers, cajon, tambourine, and hear birds in the background. Too cool to make music outdoors.

I know this is quite a lot of videos compared to the norm, but it's worth listening. Especially on a dreamy day of relaxation to be filled with acoustic goodness.








Head towards youtube to listen to more bands. You know you want to.

The Shins

Technically, they don't need to appear here. A quick check at wiki tells you that The Shins has been around since 1997. But that's not why I highlight them here. Recently I've been listening to their particular song, Sleeping Lessons. It's the kind of song where it'll pop into your head as soon as you wake up in the morning. Warning: It might last throughout the day.

Young The Giant


Young The Giant offers a new melody to my rock-filled ears. It gets me rocking sideways rather than head banging. You gotta listen to it to know what I'm talking about. Their music would fit very much if you're going on a road trip, especially along the beach. Moreover, the lead vocalist has a unique voice does not sound like your local radio pop tune. And on top of that, I love the energy the rest of the band conveys doing their musical parts.

sj's picks of the week.

The Script has a new record out called Science & Faith. Indeed this is quite a genius of a record. Even though they hail from Ireland and are currently based in London, I've never been able to disconnect the image of them sounding like a bunch of New Yorkers. (don't ask me why or how) Regardless. you can easily distinguish that this is a Script record from Danny O'Donoghue's unmistakable voice and their distinct sound.

My favourite tracks: You Won't Feel A Thing, Science & Faith, This=Love

Science & Faith
Genre: Indie / Alternative / Rock

Kyte. Another band from the UK. With a more electro and ambient sound, and a lead vocalist with a really unique voice; this band really is a very easy listen. If nothing else tickles your fancy, the cute album cover should be enough to draw you in! Definitely something you'd play on a road trip, or when reading your favourite book armed with a cup of tea while the rain beats on your windows, and perhaps the best use of Kyte music (in my humble opinion) is as a soundtrack of life! Plug in your earphones while you ride on the bus/train or while you walk around or just sit and watch people. Try it sometime, you'll be amazed! Go listen to Kyte now.

My favourite tracks: Boundaries (Kyte), The Smoke Saves Lives (Science for the Living), Dead Waves (Dead Waves)

Albums: Kyte, Science For The Living, Dead Waves
Genre: Ambient / Pop / Electro / Indie
