Julie Hawk - The Value of Gold

'I was down in the Garden learning the value of gold' not my words, the words of airy Irish Folk/Pop singer Julie Hawk. So what kind gold could there be in a Irish Garden?

???!!!!!!???

Well, what ever the 'gold' its firmly hidden under her Pillow!

Anyway, the 'The Value of Gold' is taken from her soon to be released EP, due out on the 11 Feb.  Loving the smooth Celtic sounds of Julie's voice, its warming me up this cold, cold morning!  I want to listen to more and I'm kinda linking the trendy trashy look too !

 

SWEET

Queen of Hearts - Black Star

Queen Of Hearts has been working with some amazing artists for her latest EP, including The Sound Of Arrows, Beatrice Hatherley (Kylie / Zoot Woman), Dreamtrak and Diamond Cut. That probably explains why it is so sonically awesome.

'Black Star' is a dark track with deep swelling bass-ridden synths wrapping around your headphones. The skipping clunky beats add to the evil sounds. Well worth checking out:

...MY BLACK STAR...

There are a tonne of free remixes to steal too, which is always pretty nice. Pop Blimp's favourite is by Shake Aletti. There is also a nice cover of the Foals track 'Spanish Sahara'. #Download!

A new obsession is born. We shall stalk Queen Of Heart's musical career hence forth. An album should be coming out next year, I wish I had a really cool watch or something that would let me fast forward time. That would be perfect.
