Some music for 2007

Here's some music that I'll be looking out for and listening to in 2007!

The four-piece indie band from Dundee, The View, look set to become rather popular in 2007. With a loyal following already and no-doubt set to be heavily hyped before their album launch on Jan 22nd, I for one am really looking forward to it. You can listen to most of the album in rough-demo form over at Skag Trendy, but hurry I doubt it'll be hosted there for much longer! Highlights are a-plenty, including the indie-disco floor fillers Superstar Tradesman and Same Jeans, complete with the signature high-pitched gravely screams from front-man Kyle Falconer - great stuff!

For some reason the happy, jangly indie-pop from The Holloways has worked its way into my head this year, & while their album "So, this is Great Britain?" has been released a while I think with a bit more promotion & touring they could work their way a bit higher up the charts. Particular highlights for me are the ever-so catchy Generator - some tracks are available for a listen on their Myspace too, including a limited edition Christmas track for download!

On a rather different, more worldly note, I'm a huge fan of French artist Jehro, which (I think) I originally stumbled across via the fantastic Aurgasm. A mix of Caribbean and South American, with obvious influence from Bob Marley, the self-titled album is full of distinctive tracks that describe all-sorts of tales from Jamican to French life. Most of the album tracks can be sampled over at Calabash Music.
