July BUZZ

This will be a short one I'm afraid, as due to the mess that this blog became a month or so ago, I'm still trying to get back into my groove as far as blogging is concerned. Hey, I'm improving - June didn't even have a BUZZ! Also, quick reminder that if anyone reading this, music blogger, other blogger, or not even a blogger at all, if you'd like to write a guest post on this blog, get in touch via electragrrl@gmail.com ! That aside, let's launch into this month's recap!

CHVRCHES - 'Gun'

My single of the month has to be 'Gun' by Scottish band CHVRCHES. With each single they release, they seem to get better and better and I can't wait for their debut album - The Bones Of What You Believe - to drop in late September!

AlunaGeorge - 'Body Music'

My favourite album of this month is AlunaGeorge's debut, Body Music. I love pop music, and this is pop music with substance! The pair manage to sound both retro yet relevant, harkening back to old skool garage and '90's R'n'B. There's not one bad track on the album, proving that Aluna and George don't need to rely on Disclosure to  make a hit. Read the review I did of the album over on Renowned For Sound :) Above is 'Just A Touch'.

Interview: Tracer

I had the pleasure of interviewing Aussie band Tracer for Renowned For Sound! We had a chat about their influences, being on the road, and their new album El Pistolero. Check it out over here!

Smith Westerns - 'Weekend'

The first of the guest posts occurred on this blog, courtesy of Huw who blogs over at The Go-Slow, and he picked one of the best summery songs everrrr with Smith Westerns' 'Weekend'. Listen to it, and I dare you not to be humming it for the rest of your days.

Lorde - 'Tennis Court'

And finally, I'm going to leave you with a sneak peek of an upcoming post. Let me introduce you to Lorde! One quick Google will inform you that this New Zealand native is about to take over, an impressive feat at only 16!

And that's it!

So tell me folks, what have you been loving this July?

Interrogation Corner.. Tracer

Oh My Glob! New feature guys!

Yup, I've started taking on interviews for Renowned For Sound! It was something I was a little tentative about, especially as I have been known to be quiet shy in previous years, however this is in the process of being ironed out. Though all that is of little importance in this instance, as due to time difference, this was an email Q+A aha..

I'm fond of Tracer. I was originally introduced to the band by a friend who lent me their first album, Spaces In Between, a few years back. This band love to make rowdy noise and apparently their live show is a riot too. Below I've embedded some of my fave songs, and also their latest single - the title track from their second album, El Pistolero (which is available to buy if you click this shiny link).

Linkylink time, go check the full interview here!

PS. My fave Tracer song is 'Devil Ride' - but you already know that, because you read the interview.... ;)
