Tom Brosseau is one of those rare gems who has stayed pretty under the radar in the music world so far, but let me be the first to assure you it’s not due to a lack of talent or prowess. This latest release from an artist I can only describe as an underground genius is elegant, persuasive and soul-driven.  Despite being American, Tom Brosseau definitely boasts the oh-so-popular London indie feel of today’s music scene. Falling somewhere within the indie-folk-rock genre (aren’t categories fun?), Brosseau may very well find himself an eager …

Cagedbaby, who was just incredible live last year, has been working on new material with the new single ‘Forced’ to be released on April 26th on Southern Fried Records. I haven’t heard the orginal yet, but this remix from Foamo (who took the crown of mest remix last year on that Mystery Jets track)  hits all the right buttons. Fucking amazing.
