It's the follow up to the beautiful Something On High, and it's track Kin and Chrome has just been shared as a single with this moving video - it's our track of the week! The track is going to be released again as part of an EP entitled This Unfruitful Love on 16th Feb with a brand new track and re-workings of a couple of tunes from the album - we can't wait!

Gig of the week: 31hours debut album launch at The Bullingdon, Oxford (26th Nov)
Young Oxford band 31hours have just released their debut album Tell Me What You See, and we're honoured to be hosting the launch show party at The Bullingdon in Oxford this Sunday. It may be a school night but this line-up is more than worth leaving the house for, with locals and friends of the band Lucy Leave, Bright Works and Daisy all warming up the crowd, before 31hours enter the stage (to raucous applause, we predict) and play the entire record in full. It really isn't to be missed - find out more about the show and listen to our other artists through the event page here, and check out the cracking new record below (and then buy a copy to support the band!)

Track of the week: Fil Bo Riva - 'Head Sonata (Love Control)'
Since it's release last a couple of weeks back I've had this tune pretty much on constant repeat, so simply had to make it our Tigmus track of the week! It's the new track from Fil Bo Riva, the first of many (hopefully) to come and a taste of what to expect from the debut album which should be out early next year! It's a must-listen and sure to fit in perfectly to your playlists - and if you like what you're hearing he's off on tour early next year including London's Sebright Arms on 17th April (all the dates here.)

Track of the week: Me and the Moon - 'Standing Still'
Our track of the week comes from our pals Me and The Moon with their groovy new tune Standing Still, out now on My Little Empire Records. Described as a "winning slice of breezy indie-pop" in it's premiere on For The Rabbits, the track is two minutes of fun guitar work, complex drum beats and soothing vocals from lead-singer Tamara. Citing inspirations across the band such as Laura Marling, The Staves, Bombay Bicycle Club and Noah and The Whale we'd say that they're definitely worth checking out if you're into those bands! Me and The Moon head on a UK tour to celebrate the release of the single, taking in Southampton, London, Portsmouth, Guildford and Bury St Edmunds from the 11th to 25th November - all the info is here (most of the shows are free entry!!)
