Hidden Orchestra and Bonobo

Me and the wife went to see these guys last night with Rosie and Paulo and a good few hundred other people.  It was totally mind blowing. The hairs are still standing up on the back of my neck. Fact.  The place was jumping, and Hidden Orchestra playing on their home turf could easily have held their own for the entire night.  It was however a real treat to have Mr. Simon Green aka Bonobo and his full ensemble rock the house until the multi-track encore.

We decided to invest in the Hidden Orchestras super dooper limited edition vinyl LP (Anna really wanted it and I couldn’t really stop her), Plus we splashed out on Bonobo‘ latest album Black Sands, which I have been listening to all morning. Both albums are awesome as you might expect but I want to draw your attention to track 2 of Bonobos album, Kiara. Nuff said.

There’s this…

More free goodness from Tru Thoughts, One Handed Music, Ninja Tune, Ubiquity etc. Gittit.

And, in the world of WTF, there’s this: isle of tune.

Portico Quartet

And one of my favorites from One Taste is these guys. Reminds me a little bit of Tru Thoughts new signing.

Hidden Orchestra

A firm favorite with the Lemonade crew, formally know as Joe Acheson Quartet, Hidden Orchestra have just been signed to Tru Thoughts with an album due for release autumn this year. Its been a long time coming for this Edinburgh band and Im sure you will agree is very much deserved, congratulations!

I was lucky enough to catch them last weekend at the amazing Insider festival and if you are one of the lucky few to be going to Glasto this weekend then be sure to head to the Arcadia stage where they are playing on Saturday.
