Luke Abbott News
Ed Harcourt, Liars, Ghosting Season, Eight and a Half, Luke Abbott's LPs of 2012
Before we get our teeth stuck in to 2013, we asked some of our favourite artists what some of their favourite albums of 2012 were. In the previous part the likes of Sharon van Etten, Yeasayer and School of Seven Bells shared their picks, and you can find those lists, alongside our albums of year lists and more, here. Here are five more of our favourites, sharing the five albums that touched, shocked and thrilled them in 2012... »
EP Stream: Luke Abbott - Object Is A Navigator

On The DiS Stereo: May 2012
Seeing as my Five-4-Friday hasn't happened the past two weeks (blame Live at Leeds, Camden Crawl and Great Escape ), so this week I thought I'd collect together a heap of things I've been listening to and loving, that have either hit my inbox or been spaffed about on my social network feeds. This mixture of videos and SoundClouds and stuff and things, all probably vaguely suffering from drizzle-misery, with a slice of a heart-ache cake on the side... »
The Neptune 2011: Nominees announced for DiS' alt-Mercury Music Prize
Another year, another Mercury Music Prize, and another DiS selection of alternative album choices, which probably should, in a just world, have made the Mercury list.»
Spotifriday #103: Oneida, Blood Red Shoes, SBRKT, Luke Abbott
What a strange week this week has been. I hope you've not suffered as a result of this idiocy and that you got out there and helped in whatever way you could to not let these i-want-iwantiwant little shits nicking (do)riotos from PoundLand and smashing up charity shops, turn our tea-slurping land into a haven for assholes. The fascists can fuck off too.»
Mixtape: Great Escape 2011 ft Friendly Fires, Antlers, EMA, Braids, Max Richter...
A Spotify playlist for one of our favourite festivals. Taking place beside-the-seaside in Brighton from the 12th of May until the 14th (or the earlier hours of the 15th if you wanna be pernickety about it), The Great Escape hosts bands of all shapes, sizes and synthiness. There are big names (Sufjan Stevens, DJ Shadow, Guillemots, John Cooper Clarke), acts who will dominate 2011 (Friendly Fires, Katy B, Gang Gang Dance, Ghostpoet), P4K-championed DiS transatlantic favourites (Antlers, Twin Shadow), UK acts that we love (Phantom Band, Factory Floor, Actress, Becoming Real, Villagers), new crushes (Braids, Still Corners, EMA, Seekae, Seams, Christian AIDS), incredible instrumentalists (Max Richter, Hauschka, Luke Abbott) and a few hundred others...»
DiS announces first of three nights at The Great Escape festival
Drowned in Sound returns to Brighton for the Great Escape festival for three nights crammed with music we love. Kicking off on Thursday night is a somewhat 'electronic' bill that draws as much from the ambience of Aphex, Burial and Eno as it does from the throb of Daft Punk and The Field.»
