John Murphy - Anonymous Rejected Filmscore

Liverpool born John Murphy began scoring movies at the age of 25. You may know his music from movies like 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Miami Vice, Kick-Ass, Snatch or Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

In my opinion he is one of the most talented composer out there. So this new album titled ANONYMOUS REJECTED FILMSCORE is an absolute delight for every fan of his music. 

In his head it became the "lost score", the score without a film. We will probably never know for which movie this score was created, but honestly I don't care, I'm just happy it got out and listening to it I will create my own movie in my mind.

Here is the album trailer - just close your eyes and let your imagination run free!

#1 Dads

Sorry guys, it has been a while, I've been really busy, among other things looking for good music to share with you... and I found some!

If you don't know him yet, check him out!

#1 Dads is the side project of Tom Iansek, frontman for the Melbourne duo Big Scary. He has collaborated with some interesting artists (like Ainslie Wills, Tom Snowdon and Airling) on his second album ABOUT FACE, a very chill and laid-back album.

One song that in my opinion really sticks out is RETURN TO.

Just close your eyes and enjoy this beautiful heart-melting piano melody...

Samaris

If you don't know them yet, check them out!

Iceland offers not only beautiful landscapes but also a vibrant and creative music scene that brought us some great artists like Björk, Sigur Ros, Of Monsters and Men, Emiliana Torrini, Ólafur Arnalds and Múm... just to name a few.

The latest band I discovered and absolutely fell in love with is Samaris, an electronic music trio formed in 2011 that consists of Áslaug Rún Magnúsdóttir (clarinet), Þórður Kári Steinþórsson (electronics) and Jófríður Ákadóttir (vocals).

How I would describe their music in one word? CAPTIVATING!

Dorothy

Dorothy is a band from Los Angeles composed of vocalist Dorothy Martin, drummer Zac Morris, guitarist Mark Jackson and bassist Eliot Lorango.
