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

The Script

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)

Kyte

Albums: Kyte, Science For The Living, Dead Waves

French Teen Idol - Enlightened False Consciousness

French Teen Idol

I'm a sucker for electronica. And when the combination of ambient comes into the picture, it blows my world, softly. It's a perfect listen for some time alone or when you want to put on your headphone and close your eyes.

French Teen Idol is an instrumental solo project by Andrea Di Carlo that hails from Rome, Italy. His second album, Enlightened False Consciousness, was released in 2007. As I listen to the album, I couldn't help repeating the two tracks; The Longest Night, and the title track.
Am loving the melodies of the piano and strings.. Makes a pretty picture of an empty wide field with tall grass swaying to the breezy wind.

The best thing is, his album - Enlightened False Consciousness is free to download! Just head to his myspace and click the link provided to the full length album. If you have trouble finding your way to myspace, just click on the album picture.
