Yamaneko - Noises in the wave wires like the kissing of the sea (feat. Rimplton)

With perhaps the longest song title I've come across for some time, London newcomer Yamaneko (who?) has paired up with the mysterious Rimplton (who?) to create a track that is equal parts ethereal electro and grime-y witch-house.

Whilst both parties' resilient off-the-grid-ness is annoying for music bloggers, this collaboration is pure brilliance.

Yamaneko's debut album Pixel wave embrace was released earlier this week, and has already sold out.

Eaux - Plastics

London threesome Eaux (the most awkward band name to bring up in conversation "Ew? What? Who?") have been knocking around since early 2012 after the demise of the cult Sian Alice Group.

In keeping with their SAG roots, Eaux's take on post-punk is mesmerising, but - refreshingly - electronic. L.O.V.E.

They released Plastics in August, and to steal a quote from Noisey, it's seaux good.

Benjamin Clementine

Somehow, Benjamin Clementine reminds me of a young Adele, in the power of his voice and his obsession with London as a subject matter for his powerful ballads. 

Discovered busking on the street, Benjamin is a real talent, vocally, musically and lyrically. Unsurprisingly, he's been compared to Nina Simone. 

His first EP, Cornerstone, features the beautiful titletrack. He released the Glorious you EP in August, and it's equally sublime. 

Expect to hear a lot more from this promising new comer. 

Ariel Pink - Black ballerina

Think what you want about Ariel Pink's politics, his music is like a happy pill.

Black ballerina is my favourite of the released tracks from his upcoming album Pom pom (the bizarre put your number in my phone and the contemplative picture me gone have also been released). Black ballerina features a conversation around areola between a young man and a dancer... yup.

Disclaimer: I have had to suspend my feminist values to enjoy this song. But it's so good. Does it make it better if I dance to this whilst wearing a feminist t-shirt?... I don't care.
