Off the Record: AlunaGeorge

2013 has been a pretty fabulous year for really strong electronic/pop debuts with Disclosure's 'Settle', Rudimental's 'Home', and London Grammar's 'If You Wait' being some of the highlights for me (The fact that they are all British is a bonus). I can now add AlunaGeorge's debut 'Body Music' to that list. I discovered them through their feature on Disclosure's record and I have been throughly enjoying their album this past week. With inventive and fresh production from George Reid always anchored in Aluna Francis' strong and unique vocals, 'Body Music' is good times. So here is a single from AlunaGeorge that gives a sampling of the goodies I've been enjoying this week.

This has been everywhere so I'm sure it's not going to be news to most of you but Arcade Fire has released the debut single, 'Reflektor', from their new album of the same name coming in October. And, boy, is it a doozy! A totally awesome, mind-blowing, 7 minute, James Murphy-produced, trippy video having, David Bowie featuring, indie-disco-thumping doozy! I think I've watched the video 8 times in the past couple days and I like the song more each time. So please, partake in the goodness:
