Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

By Matt in Acoustic, Folk, Indie

Thinkbox’s Nov/Dec Awards for TV ads stated that John Lewis’ ‘The feeling’ was the 3rd best ad. I remember seeing it in christmas and it really captured the feeling, especially with its very gentle version of Sweet Child of Mine (a rock classic by Guns’n’Roses) by Taken by Trees. Enjoy!

Beirut

By Danii in Acoustic, Folk, Indie, Music

The music by this (American) band combines elements of Eastern European and Balkan folk with Western pop music, and of course you cannot miss the indie-rock sounds…  I like it!!  Initially, it was a solo musical project by Zachary Francis Condon,  but in 2006 he recruited some friends to play with him in New York after which [...]
