Hot Horizons - "October"
Tall Ships - Tall Ships EP / There is Nothing but Chemistry Here EP
Checking out new bands on the way to work. Hot Horizons on this evidence seem to be treading similar ground to Trophy Wife to slightly lesser effect, but I love Tall Ships' combination of downtempo, fairly minimal songs and early Biffy Clyro guitar riffs. Later have to conduct some research on the Tall Ships album from 2009 that Spotify has to make sure it isn't the same band and I don't have to disqualify them from my new bands playlist.
Olivia - Greatest Hits (Disc 2)
For my journey home, a Japanese album bought on a whim in Hong Kong which turned out to be really great, at least for Disc 2 (which I think is the B-sides, maybe, but is much better than the straightforward rock of Disc 2). Probably closest to Ellie Goulding, if she'd carried on being as good as "Under the Sheets" suggested.
Chapel Club - Palace
Epic Echo & the Bunnymen / early U2 indie which I actually like a lot, despite not having that much time for anyone else doing it. Listened to this at home before heading out.
Departure DJ set
A night at a bar in Camden which apparently plays 'Dark Wave, New Wave, Industrial, Synthpop, EBM, 80s'. Was there because other friends were (including the DJ) rather than for the music, almost all of which I didn't know. There was an excellent more industrial remix of Editors' "Papillon" though, during which I had an enthusiastic conversation about how good their last album was.
