Criminally Good

At exam-time or in the run-up to assignment deadlines, there are two things without which I can't function: junk food and new music.

Spar's 'Real Deals' have provided me with the former and thankfully some reliable sources, like Illegal Tender , have been providing me with the latter.

There's a lot to be said for prioritising quality over quantity. Illegal Tender might not be the most prolific blogger but he has an uncanny knack for ear-marking some real musical gems.

Take for example camera-shy duo NewIslands. Their genre-melding tracks are likely to feature in the soundtrack to my study. I particularly like their track 'Crosstown Feel', which sounds like a more sophisticated Late Of The Pier.

Check out their Myspace to hear this track and have a gander at Illegal Tender's post to download an exclusive NewIslands demo.
