El Guincho – Fata Morgana
You have to feel for El Guincho. As good as his album, Alegranza, may be, this could be one of the most unfortunate cases of bad timing in recent times. Coming hot on the heels of the undisputably brilliant Peson Pitch by Panda Bear, the comparisons were both inevitable and unenviable.

Song of the Day: Vampire Weekend – ‘One’

Vampire Weekend – ‘One’
I thought I was pretty much through with Vampire Weekend. Their album had been a fun discovery and all, but it hadn’t take long for my attention to turn elsewhere, resuming the search for interesting new bands without as much as a look over my shoulder. But their super-poppy hooks keep returning for involuntary playbacks within my subconscious so regularly that it has become a downright nusiance – specifically the call-and-response cheerlead of “Blake’s got a new face.” The same goes for the infectious spilling of ‘Bryn’ – damn them!
