Austra - Lose It
Hailing from Canada, Austra are a three piece made up of virtuoso vocalist Katie Stelmanis, bassist Dorian Wolf and beats supremo Maya Postepski. Lose It is the second track taken from their debut album (on Domino Records - as good a recommendation as I can give), Feel It Break.

Olof Arnalds @ Static
Though you may not be familiar with the name, Arnalds isn't exactly a new kid on the block; active on the indie scene in her native Iceland for a number of years and a touring member of Mum since 2003, she released her second solo effort Innundir skinni (produced by Kjartan Sveinsson of Sigur Ros) in 2010. Compared variously to the likes of Judee Sill and Kate Bush, hers is nonetheless a singular voice in what can often be a sea of mediocrity.

Attack the Block
One of life's simplest pleasures for theview is lazily waking up and getting ready for the day to Adam & Joe on BBC Radio 6, and I could not have been happier when they returned to the Saturday morning slot recently. The reason for their time away was various solo projects. One such project from Joe (Cornish), is Attack The Block, a comedy about what happens when an alien invasion force is faced with the very real horror of encountering a teen gang on a South London estate.

Light Night - Venues across Liverpool
Featuring over 50 special events and openings across Liverpool City centre, Light Night provides an opportunity to get the weekend off to an exciting and cultured start. Highlights include: tours of the tower at the Anglican Cathedral, Tate's free collection being open late into the night with live music, and The Town Hall open night. On top of this, it's fair to expect gem-like offerings and late opening from the city's best indies, such as The Royal Standard on Vauxhall Road.
