Magistrates Reform!
Some good news in the musical world this week.
The last time we heard from Magistrates they said this “Magistrates is over, thanks for everything, we will all be working on other musical projects, we’ll let you know more news in the new year. I’m sure we will meet again.”
The boys seem to have come to their senses as they’re back with an upcoming gig at the Old Queens Head in Islington and new music to follow.
Check their Facebook for more info.

Magistrates – Heartbreak
Miike Snow. Back in the studio.
Over the past 4 years or so there have only been a handful of albums that I can say really impacted me. Properly that is.
Miike Snow’s self-titled debut was one of them and their return to Twitter (@MiikeSnow) last month revealed that they’re back in the studio working on album number 2.
As well as that, it looks like they’ll probably be releasing it through INGRID, their new label.
We’re all very excited to hear any new material and if you get wind of anything drop us a line at mahoganyblog@gmail.com!

LOFT Lineup 2011 // Still Corners
We’re returning to Lounge on the Farm festival again this year (much more on that soon!) so now begins the process of finding out as much we can about everyone on the fantastic lineup.
With 3am edging over closer on the clock earlier this morning, the laptop was almost retired for the night but fortunately Still Corners managed to extend the festival research. They had one track to impress before hitting the deck and oh boy did they do just that.
Information on the band (signed to Sub Pop) is limited. The website and Facebook pages don’t list a bio but who cares for now, let’s just lament in their delicately dreamy sound.
Still Corners – Cuckoo
Still Corners – Wish
Foster The Remix
A fair few people have remixed the addictive Californian pop outfit Foster The People so we thought it about time cherry pick some of the goodies (which are available to download for free) and all three are really strong.

Le weekend is almost upon us!
Holy Ghost! – Wait & See
Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser aka Holy Ghost! released Wait & See, one of the stand out tracks from their debut self-titled album, as a free download for fans and just released the music video featuring their dads!
A few works from Alex explains all…”for a long time Nick and I joked that our dads should take our press photos. At some point our go-to director, Ben Fries, came up with the idea of actually making a video with them playing us and “Wait and See” seemed like the perfect song to do it for. At first both Dads were a little apprehensive – and rightfully so: My dad was appalled at the sizing options at American Apparel. But when we explained that the joke wasn’t on them – that it was actually kind of making fun of us getting older and still living like teenagers – they were game. For the record, they agree: We need to grow up.”

Introducing… Alice Wybrant
Who is Alice Wybrant?
From her adorably shy email it’s rather hard to tell but she’s a self-produced singer (studio in bathroom apparently) and she’s just made a very accomplished demo.
She did however add a little bit of info…
Alice is 17-years-old and from Yorkshire (lovely quiet countryside in the North of the UK for anyone not familiar) which is definitely not the musical capital of the world but there’s obviously some top talent up there.
To Alice – if you’re going to Uni in the next couple years, choose one in a bustling indie town like Leeds, Brighton or London and showcase your heart out throughout your course. You never know, you might get signed before you graduate!
