Scattered Ashes

Minor Victories released new songs these days from their coming first record. They are a collaboration of members of Slowdive, Mogwai and Editors. The vocals on Scattered Ashes were by James Graham of The Twilight Sad. Many call the an independent supergroup but for me it is just another charming band playing frisky songs. Some ethereous  but always with a reluctant guitars. I really like the choir and the strings on this record.

Ocean Of Night

A few days ago I found a new song by the Editors, another British band in the tradition of New Wave and post-punk. Listening to the voice of Tom Smith they can't annoy their roots to Joy Division. It's a pretty little song dominated by a sad piano and straight drums made for the times later at the when you please yourself with a drink.

"Love is a feeling, buried with me in the yard, gaze at the skyline, under the ocean of stars."
