When I saw this pop up in the inbox, in all honesty my heart sank a bit. Surely not ANOTHER 15 year old who thinks they can sing, but really sounds like a cat getting it’s throat jammed through a cheese grater? Reluctantly, I clicked the link, and I was meet by the vocal powerhouse [...]

Something totally different from what I usually listen to, but I am utterly absorbed by this. This beautifully simple folk song from Fog Lake is on repeat. Just listen to the lyrics.. There’s farther reaches in my head but they don’t ever let me rest clutching knifes against my chest cos you won’t love me [...]

With remixes of Daughter, a producer needs to make sure they can fully take advantage of the faint vocals to create their perfect song. With this remix, BlackWhite Elektronika have done exactly that, creating a very simple track. Nothing particularly revolutionary, but there doesn’t need to be. This remix does everything it sets out to [...]

I have recently been on a Bon Iver streak, going through as many different remixes of his stuff as I can. Whilst this track is several months old, it was definitely one of my favourites. Beautifully complimenting Bon Iver’s ghostly vocals with a stunning electronic ambience, LuQus created something truly magical. If you love it [...]

Phoria is a project I have been watching for a few months now, and it is amazing to see how their production has increased in leaps and bounds, not just in terms of production, but in sophistication and professionalism. This track, ‘Red’, is just beautiful. The haunting vocals are reminiscent of Sigur Rós, and the [...]

An unreleased song from Ocean’s channel ORANGE sessions, “Eyes Like Sky” will restore your faith in Frank Ocean if it was ever in question. Coming in with a guitar riff that will hook you immediately, Frank shows us a non-R&B side to his musical talent that we have seen very little of. The song tells the story [...]

We are huge supporters of the acoustic, alternative hip hop style of this duo here at NSK. They continue to stay true to their sound and release quality with all of their work. “Carpe Diem” (which means “seize the day”) is their newest album, and is a must listen in my opinion. Preview: VIBE – [...]

This is the kind of review that I get excited about writing before I even get a chance to write it. The long awaited, much anticipated second full-length album from Mumford & Sons is finally here! Sigh No More, the groups first released album in 2010, was widely acclaimed and gained nominations for several Grammys [...]
