Admittedly, I’ve never been a fan of the sad boy genre that seems to get more and more popular lately, but Memphis’ Blvck Hippie may be the one to turn me. This is one of my favourite indie records that I’ve heard this year; I just can’t get enough of the melodic guitar riffs, syncopated drum beats and the emotion Josh Shaw conveys in his sweet, sliding vocals. It’s brooding rock music that you can still bop along to - what’s not to like? LT
