Cold War Kids are one of our favorite bands to see live and over the last few albums, have really been developing their strong, unique sound. We’re expecting a new album from them soon but for now, here’s a new song from Cold War Kids: Miracle Mile.

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.
