Sam Sparro
Black & Gold, Sam Sparro's latest single, has become an instant hit heading straight to the top of the UK charts. This is more than a flash in the pan though as he jumps straight in with the likes of Justice and Hercules & Love Affair as part of our soundtrack to 2008.
Sian Alice Group
This band's debut album is called 59:59 after it's running time and is an album of organic dreamscapes and repetitive sound which moves through indie, rock and jazz. One to check out for fans of Bat for Lashes, Atlas Sound and the like.

Flobots
Flobots are an instrumental hip hop band comprised of two emcees, drums, guitar, bass, viola and trumpet. While their lyrics often focus on political subjects, they deftly sidestep the pitfalls of being preachy or angry.
Owl City
Owl City is the product of Adam Young's insomnia. Composed in the early hours of the day the songs are dreamy (and catchy) electro-pop melodies.

Hercules and Love Affair
Co-produced by DJ Andrew Butler and Tim Goldsworthy of DFA Records Hercules and Love Affair's self-titled debut was released on the 10th March and has swept both the club scene and the critics up into a whirlwind romance with it's unique modernisation of disco.

Cut Copy
2008 sees Cut Copy return with a new album, 4 years after their debut release. The lead single Lights & Music has already been making a splash with it's glorious electro pop sound.

El Guincho
After receiving glowing praise from online music mag Pitchfork, Spanish artist El Guincho is all over the place. His debut album Alegranza! is a hazy summer album full of loops and pop song choruses, fresh yet oddly familiar. His track Fata Morgana is a good place to start.
White Hinterland
2008 sees the release of White Hinterland's second album Phylactery Factory. From the jazzy Dreaming of the Plum Trees to the ghostly Vessels Casey Dienel's warbling voice is perfect making this an album of the year contender for folk pop connoisseurs.
Thursday March 13, 2008
July Skies
Fans of Sigur Ros will appreciate July Skies dreamy soundscapes. Get lost in their beautiful track Swallows and Swifts or watch the atmospheric video for Harvest 1982 now.
Duffy
Since releasing her debut single, Rockferry, Duffy has become an instant star with her 60s soul-inspired music heading straight to the top of the UK charts. Her album is out next week and definitely not to be missed.
