Alt-j - Every Other Freckle
Alt-J seem to be releasing little nuggets of delicious music, prolonging the anticipation their new album daily. Their new single release is 'Every Other Freckle' which I literally cannot stop listening to, hence why it had to top my tracks on repeat list. Newman has a type of vocal I can't get over. It has this inner depth which is able to evoke so many emotions at once. Which kind of relates to the teenage psyche, unable to pinpoint exactly what they're thinking... or feeling.. or want. A standout lyric has to be, 'Turn you inside out and lick you like a crisp packet'. As British as dirty talk can get really.
Jessie Ware - Tough Love
I previously mentioned a track of Ware's before but this track has captivated me from first play and is really different in my opinion to anything she has released before. It has sonic pulsations of synth and vocals which stir, 'You got me crying out for more/That's called tough love'. It's full of emotion and Ware puts across real emotion through her vocals and lyrics. Enchanting.
Airhead - Hundred Years
1-800-Dinosaur are a brilliant label with alternative god, James Blake at it's helm and producer Rob McAndrews otherwise known as Airhead one of it's artists. 'Hundred Years' is simply a great track due to its broken beat structure and overlapping vocal, 'What you know about love/What you expect me to do'. The rest of the Believe EP is great with 'Shirin' being another favourite, but this is a standout for me.

Great tracklist! Thanks for the recommendations! :)
