Music

Lots of people like to try new music, so here are two serious pop newcomers to enjoy:

Layla's Smokestacks and the Dimond Saints Remix are great, and try her slower, almost Bjork's Vespertine-tinged Oh My Love. Her Black Mud is a great track; it's also the name of a record of hers. This is what we wanted from the more popular indie people like Bat for Lashes, Sky Ferreira and Marina & the Diamonds. Also try her Yellow Circles.

Layla has a type of Beyoncé-esque edge to her, one that makes us think of her fifth album. It's excellent. Be sure to try her if you like Lorde, I think she's a little similar in some ways.

If you like Pan.American or minimalist music, try the excellent XXYYXX's almost underwater-sounding emotional yet mysterious music, like one eponymous album here, or Giraffafe's Feels.
