iMusic... Deaf Club - Sunday

Deaf Club are an emerging London-based Welsh band that has the likes of BBC Radio 1, NME, Amazing Radio and The Guardian falling over themselves to heap praise on and rightly so. Weaving in, out and between Chillwave, Shoegaze and Rock-infused Folk, Deaf Club are hard to place but it's awesomely lush and very atmospheric music and "Sunday" is their forthcoming - and quite indie - new single which is due out on February 20. Listen to it below and if you like it, you should check out their debut EP Lull - and lead track "Hana", a favorite at Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music - which is available HERE for FREE download only for a limited time...

iMusic... Bon Iver - Beth/Rest (Solo Piano Version)

Justin Vernon/Bon Iver's self-titled sophomore album is a great record - one of the best of 2011 so far - but one song off of the album that a lot of Bon Iver fans and critics alike give rather too much stick (in my opinion) is the album's closer "Beth/Rest". "For good reason", some might say - it sounds nothing like the rest of the album and it feels out of place plus it's a Lionel Richie/Bruce Hornsby-type 80's Adult Contemporary/Soft Rock record aka "Cheesy" and that's certainly not what we know and love Justin Vernon for - not that I mind by the way, I actually like "Beth/Rest" for a number of reasons. 

Anyway Bon Iver was recently on NPR's World Cafe and Vernon gave a brilliant performance of "Beth/Rest" - a more stripped down acoustic Piano rendition of "Beth/Rest" that is not only AWESOME but should please any stubborn critics of the original album cut, listen BELOW...
