Welcome to the second of my midweek music suggestions.

Still doing this on a bit of a trial basis, but had a good enough response last week to keep it up.

If you would like your music to feature in future posts then please get in touch with me; luke@routenote.com or on twitter @monkeyhotel

Anyway, without further ado, let’s try to make your week pass that little bit faster by getting some new music down your lug-holes.

The first band I’m suggesting to you this week confirm my fears that I’m becoming some kind of Emo wimp in my late twenties.
The Murder Act are exactly the sort of post-punk Shoegaze nonsense that I would normally spend a week happily resenting, but I like them, they remind of Joy Division in a very authentic and heart warming way.

Sex Song by The Murder Act

Next some rather lovely acoustic music from a man with an extraordinarily unsuspecting name. David Whitwell writes the sort of striped down acoustic music that will please most people with a pulse. I’m currently reviewing his whole album which I’ll post for you all in the following weeks, watch out for it.

And finally, a band I initially expressed a lot of interest in, entirely because of their excellent name. Outback Eskimos (see, wonderful name) turned out not to be entirely up my street, but I think they might be up the street of the general music listening public which I assume you, dear readers, are a part of. Give them a chance, it’s the least you can do…

To Move On by Outback Eskimos

Thanks for reading, more next week.
