Feature Album Friday


Nearly the end of the run for Bank's debut and I have time to share another track produced by a shit hot producer, this time around BRAIN is produced ever so slickly by Shlohmo.

This week you have heard a few of the divine cuts from this stunning debut.



After another Spring Music List on Monday I will reveal another feature album next Tuesday. Who will it be next week? Also I have a funny feeling the 4th album of the year nomination will also be revealed soon.

Feature Album Thursday


Banks is our glorious feature album all this week and as we approach the weekend here is another tasty cut from the album.



Their has been rumours Banks will be making her way down under for the 2015 Laneway Festival which will be announced Oct 2. Also rumoured for the 2015 Laneway Festival FKA Twigs, Vic Mensa and I am sure they will deliver another amazing line up similar to this year.

Tune in tomorrow for another wicked cut from this wonderful debut album and one which will most likely make a lot of end of year album lists.
