Damon Albarn
In the manufactured battle in the 90’s between Blur and Oasis, I was a Blur man.
And I have always been a Damon Albarn fan, from Blur to Gorillaz to his opera Dr Dee.
His debut solo album, Everyday Robots, will come out at the end of this month.
Here is the title track/first single as well as the second single “Lonely Press Play”.

Hamilton Leithauser
While The Walkmen are on “extreme hiatus”, lead singer Hamilton Leithauser has recorded his debut solo album.
“Alexandra” is the lead single from the forthcoming Black Hours.
Future Islands
Future Islands, the band now based in Baltimore, has just released their 4th album, Singles.
A daring title, but the first single “Seasons (Waiting on You)” is one of the best songs of this young 2014.
and the video of their live Letterman performance is amazing:
Suzanne Vega
For those of us who prefer a black wardrobe, this is our song.
“I Never Wear White” by the wonderful Suzanne Vega (from her recent record Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles).
Incan Abraham
2 ½ years ago we highlighted the EPs from the Los Angeles indie quartet Incan Abraham.
Next week the band with the unusual name will finally release their debut album entitled Tolerance.
“Concorde”, the first single, exceeds expectations.
Plus a free download of the song here.
