Before we start – thank you everyone who read my earlier blog post today, this is by far the most enjoyable thing I do with RouteNote and despite my whinges about the number of emails I receive, I love that so many of you take the time to contact me. With that out the way, let us move on.

In my haste to write a post this week I overlooked two exciting artists that deserve your attention.

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

First up is a bit of a RouteNote success story – an artist who you may well have heard of called Eidersound. Trippy Electronica dripping in catchy hooks and excellent beats, Eidersound are definitely worth a listen if you’re a fan of trip-hop of ambient electronic music. Here, why not listen to these two taster tracks?

The second artist you really should give a listen if you don’t want me to think you a heartless bastard is the rather exciting band Arkana. This band took a little while to grow on me, they initially reminded me of a lot music I didn’t like. As is often the case though, they carried on beating me around the head with their infectious choruses and obvious charisma. Now I’m suggesting them to you. Watch the video below for a taste, and if you feel inclined to do so you can visit their MySpace page.
