Sarah Jaffe is cool!!!
She comes from Denton Texas, no cant say I've heard of it either, but it is (and was) home to the likes of Roy Orbison, Norah Jones and Midlake… a rich musical heritage that Jaffe's promise could eventually be added to.
Sarah is a musician who cites an intriguing range of influences (Cat Stephens, James Taylor, The Magnetic Fields and Broken Social Scene), and she isn't of the mark either in whats clearly a universally appealing sound. Her latest songs hint at major talent, a sultry texan voice with depth, you can hear her pulling the reigns in too.
If I was to pigeonhole her, I would say folk and country mixed with something resembling indie. Its uplifting and buoyant and its leaves me wanting to hear more.
Just 24, one EP release in 2008, a recording contract with Texas indie Kirtland and a tour with Midlake (subpop)…. its looking like a big bright future.

Not what it says on the tin.
The Manchester group Egyptian Hip Hop probably have the best name ever for a band, they don't unfortunately do Egyptian Hip Hip although their sound is probably as unpredictable...
These guys instead have a very soothing electro pop tinge to them, relaxed and sexy like Sebastian Tellier but with more of a d.i.y punk ethic. I have attached one of the best songs of last year for you to stream, Rad Pitt, a charming guitar riff starts off an early 90s baggy acid tune.
