“Gloomy Sunday,” tells the tale of a person in mourning who is contemplating suicide. Due to numerous anecdotal stories of people listening to the song and launching themselves from rooftops, the BBC banned the tune, which eventually became known as “The Hungarian Suicide Song.”

  Fool’s Gold

Can't say I got into Fool's Gold instantly although their genre is kind of upfront. Perhaps it's because they are hipsters from LA and they sing in Hebrew?. Anyway repeat tries were kind of successful and I just found out Surprise Hotel is free download on last.fm, so you are free to form your own ideas about 'em.

  Shlohmo

19-years old Shlohmo delivers the soundtrack for the LA aftershow party. His tracks swarm from dirty textures, strange sounds and obscured samples. It’s not Hip Hop what you hear, but the echoes are clearly there: under the blanket the beats are alive and kicking.

  Wooden Veil

Berlin's Wooden Veil is an experimental collective with mystic, ritualistic tinges that border on noise. Don't let the soothing female sounds charm you, they might be coming from a banshee and you can find yourself in the middle of a shaman ritual of a mechanistic tribe.

  Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons, been hearing about them for some time, was kind of guessing that they were the annual Fleeting Foxes. So their new video Winter Winds is not surprising in that sense, but It is totally repellant with massive amounts of rural beard-o-cliche.
