Electric President - Sleep Well (2007)

"On Sleep Well the duo, Ben Cooper and Alex Cane, blend the erratic beats of Telefon Tel Aviv with The Postal Service’s gentle, sincere vocals for an album that does its job without reaching for the stars." - Andrew Martin@Pop Matters

"Sleep Well, their thirteen-month-in-the-making sophomore effort [is] a gracefully distressed symphony of fevered intentions and darkened bedrooms that cause elation as often as shivers." - The Skeleton Crew Quarterly

The Dø - A Mouthful (2008)

"A Mouthful is a resolutely pop album, in the old-fashioned sense; eclectic, characterful, audacious, addictive and irresistibly sexy in a sophisticated yet irreverent fashion." - Nick Southall@Drowned in Sound

"There's an effortless eccentricity at play in the album's tonal shifts, as the ADD-rattled French duo alternately ape, among others, Neil Young ("On My Shoulders"), The Concretes ("At Last") and Lily Allen ("Queen Dot Kong"), with the results often matching or surpassing their obvious creative impetuses." - Troy@75 or Less

Canon Blue - Colonies (2007)

"[Daniel James offers] layers of beautiful sounds that are, I hate to say, transcending." - Daniel@Kewlmuzik

"Each song is an electronic soundscape composed of highly layered melodies, sick beats, and last but not least Daniel's vocals, which more often than not recall the force of Jeff Buckley [...] The beauty of "Odds And Ends" is impossible to ignore [...] while "Target Practice" is seizingly powerful. If you're looking for the best that the true underbelly of independent music has to offer, look no further than Canon Blue." - Conor@I Guess I'm Floating

Justice vs. Simian

"Infuriatingly catchy, it'll be stuck in your head like a nine inch nail, and probably just as difficult to ignore." - Helen Duong @ UK Music

"From the intro of stabbing synths it's a controlled mess of tight breaks and funky bass lines that... undeniably has enough infectious appeal to make it a hit..." - Contact Music
