Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, aka 23-year old Maine-bred, Brooklyn-based Aly Spaltro, is releasing her debut album, Ripely Pine, next month on Ba Da Bing. Following up “Rooftop,” one of Ripely Pine’s more accessible songs, we present the fierce and fiery style which truly sets Miss Lady Lamb apart with “Bird Balloons.” Lady Lamb‘s unhinged performance style – intense guitar strumming, spitting out lyrics, melodies following a strange internal logic- come to the fore here; she careens from hums to screams within seconds, but always under artistic -control. Ripely Pine captures the wondrous magic of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper‘s live shows, while keeping her songs’ stark rawness. No song shows this better than “Bird Balloons,” premiered via Consequence of Sound this morning. Take a listen below and experience Lady Lamb at her best and boldest.

Tom Odell is a young, hot voice out of the UK getting a lot of hype. There are four tracks on his debut EP and they range from averagely resonant to rivetingly sad. His crooning, sweet voice is accompanied by his delicate piano playing with the combination overflowing with emotion. Take a listen and decide for yourself!
One of the best new albums of the year: Bat For Lashes – The Haunted Man. Beautifully sung and emotionally raw. A mush have album.
Bat for Lashes first captured hearts way back in 2006 with a set of distinctively haunting and darkly phantasmagorical songs ripe with magic realism. Natasha Khan as a unique song writing talent and one who is paving her own way. Bat for Lashes returns with her long awaited third album The Haunted Man via Parlophone.
We, at the Noise Train love Lisse, her raw raspy voice and persona on stage. Love this live cover she did of Kid Cudi – Pursuit of Happiness.

Lewis Watson has a raw, acoustic and fresh sound. This video for Sink or Swim is beautiful, simple, clean, and a good listen.
London-based Lewis Watson has developed a thriving fan base in his young career, already hailed by BBC Radio 1 and The Independent. His first It’s Got Four Sad Songs On It BTW EP (out July 2012) peaked at #1 and the second Another Four Sad Songs EP (out October 2012) at #2 on the UK iTunes Singer Songwriter chart, reaching #23 on the same US chart.
