The National - Fake Empire
The National's Boxer is a grower, a slow-burner or whatever phrase that tells you that your'e gonna have to persevere with this one. Yeah, it sucks to hear it now, but slowly, after repeated listenings, gem's fall from the album like apples from tree's. Fake Empire is the opener, and a good way for those not familiar with Matt Berningers thraty growl to introduce themselves to the band.
Simian Mobile Disco - I believe
One time indie journeymen Simian, have parlayed an amatuer interest in upbeat electro into one of the party starters of the year. While not the nu-rave saviour it was purported to be, it deserves to be heralded under its own merits and not weighed down with 'second coming of Daft Punk' comparisons. Fun, flirtatious, yet still a little dangerous, you can get yourself dirty and still respect yourself for the rest of the working week.
