Until a few hours ago I had never heard of Evenings AKA Nathan Broaddus. I am incredibly glad this has now been rectified, via a tip off from another Sucking Lemons writer. His debut release North Dorm EP has been available since last year (for free via his bandcamp, link to follow) and is a truly mesmerising and stunning piece of electronic music. His music contains an eclectic collection of sounds; a fusion of dreamy synths, delicate beats and an abstract selection of beeps, bleeps and other utterly entrancing noise.

More new Strokes stuff has surfaced over the past couple of weeks, none of which has struck me as being particularly amazing. However saying that, Under Cover Of Darkness didn’t really hook me immediately so it’s early days.

Submarine a new film directed by Richard Ayoade (Moss of IT Crowd fame) comes out next week and Alex Turner was the man entrusted with the soundtrack for the film and has come up with the rather good Submarine EP which is released on Monday. Anyone fearing he would suffer without his monkeys fear not, it’s brilliant. Lyrically of course it’s completely perfect and the arrangements, from guitars to keys to drums provide a fitting backdrop for Turner to hammer home yet again how disgustingly talented he actually is.
Turner’s soundtrack is released via Domino Records on March 14th and the film follows on March 18th.
Elsewhere I’ve been hammering A Weekend In The City (perfect, perfect record)
the debut EP from Samuel Howard AKA Halls which is available to download here for a pound and will definitely be the best pound you spend this week: http://hallsmusic.net/album/halls-ep
Mavi Kara an EP by Carnivals AKA Stew Green which goes one one better and is free from here:

and finally I’ve gone back to Love Remains by How To Dress Well. It’s still flawless.
