Rainbow Arabia – husband and wife team Danny and Tiffany Preston – is another favourite find for me this year (I included Tiffany on my Top Music Makers for 2011 list). They’re inspired by “the purchase of a Lebanese synthesizer playing microtonal scales and lo-fi Eastern drum patterns” so the story goes. The UK’s Guardian [...]

Jess plays guitar, bass, keyboards and rocks a drum machine as well as vocals on the album. Rolling Stone has called her a combination of Patti Smith, Kate Bush & PJ Harvey… have a listen [...]
