Bandcamp Hunting #6 - 5 Things You Should Hear

Oyinda - Before The Fall EP

Oyinda has got a great voice with a British accent, which cannot hide her origin. She's making an Elctro-Synthpop which sounds pretty futurist yet interesting. This is her first EP, hoping to hear more of her in the future

Eefje De Visser - Het Is

I haven't been to the Netherlands yet, so I don't managed to try speak their language so far. Listening to Eefje De Visser voice, sings unrecognised words (for me...) in sounds like Folk-Pop album makes me want to hurry up to the next departure to Schipol and take the car to Utrecht, trying to hear her music

Superman Revenge Squad - A Funny Thing You Said

Ben Parker, a musician from Croydon, UK. Released a beautiful single called A Funny Thing You Said. I like the rhythem of this song as well his voice and lyrics. BTW - Great monikor!

Handsome And Gretyl - Harmony

Taken from the forthcoming album of this Seattle based dou, who met each other, got married and started to make music together. Their album will be released on September and will be named Miles And Miles. Meanwhile, you can enjoy this beautiful harmony

Dylan Frater Music - The Torch Songs EP

Going down to New Zealand, I found this wonderful EP, by Dylan Frater Music from Wellington. His voice is so powerful, reminds me something like Bono (Of U2 in his good years) and the leading singer of Gomez, Ian Ball. Great album for the weekend, don't miss Living Your Way.

Milk (Pick Word #27)

Milk is the first liquid we drink when we are born. Naturally, we get it from our mothers but we can see that more people use milk substitutes instead of the real thing. Meanwhile, dairy farms worldwide produced over 730 million tonnes of milk in 2011. We also know that China and Russia are the world leading importers of  milk products, India is the world leading consumer of milk and New Zealand, EU, USA and Australia are the leaders in exporting. So here are five songs which might (Or not) make you go to the refrigerator and drink a cold glass of this tasty beverage by Beck, Sea Oleena, Massive Attack, Nick Drake and Garbage. 

Beck - Milk And Honey (Taken From Midnite Vultures, 1999)
Sea Oleena - Milk (Taken From Sleeplessness, 2011)
Massive Attack - Black Milk (Taken From Mezzanine, 1998)
 
Nick Drake - Milk And Honey (Taken From The Family Tree, 2007)
Garbage - Milk (Taken From Garbage, 1995)
