James. Posted 8 March 2007 Share Posted 8 March 2007 What does everyone think to a thread where we all recommend some music that a lot of people may well not have heard before but is definitely worth a go? Well, here it is. Noticed Mr Fez doing it with Bombay Bicycle Club and I reckon it'd be a good way to find out about bands/producers, etc we haven't heard before. I'll kick things off with Brothers in Sound and their album Family is for Sharing. This really is an undiscovered gem. Any fans of Beta Band will love it but even if you don't like them please listen to it, I'm sure you'll be impressed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I adore listening to Sparklehorse at the moment. Sparklehorse - if you love Arab Strap and Belle and Sebastian - you may love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually find listening to The Wall by Pink Floyd easier, although Lamb's album is a grower. I also adore David Sylvian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
