I must you tube some of your tracks especially St Lucia, I heard Closer Than This which is pretty good, sounds like Foster The People in places.

thanks martin, yeah the st. lucia tracks are really good, think you would enjoy the EP!

Long time no speak Jonny!

 

I only know (but like) Gotye, Sleigh Bells, Grimes and Marina. Interesting to see you still loving Body Talk too, stunning pop album though :D

 

What do you think of Comeback Kid on the subject of Sleigh Bells?

Yeah 'Body Talk' is one of the few albums which has received almost ubiquitous critical praise from both the 'pop' and 'indie' sections of the forum.

 

'Comeback Kid' is pretty average, there are a few better tracks ('End of the Line' being my favourite) on the new record, which is only really worth a listen if you liked the first album.
