Real Life is a new project, formed mysteriously, little information, just a phone number and a youtube video. But its a beautiful video, directed by Rollo Jackson, who's Tape Crackers film was about a guy who'd collected a house full of home recorded Jungle mixes off of pirate radio.

It's an apt starting point for the music of Real Life, who slip into that post-jungalist, post-dubstep, coming home, sub-bass in your ear, softly hushed prose-poems about going out, wine and weed, coming home, chip shops, the dislocation of walking down the high-street, walking past every one else's night out, then slinking off home on a nightbus.

We've unfortunately got to report the sad news that Peter Hayes, the drummer of Echo Lake, has passed away. At just 25, and having just released their debut record on No Pain In Pop it's an incredibly sad loss for the world of music, as it's shaping up to be one of the records of the year. The band have written a more fitting tribute than I could come up with on their Facebook.

Echo Lake - "Even The Blind"

Weird Dreams' debut album, Choreography, released earlier this year on Tough Love, was a masterpiece of langourous and heavy-eyed melody aimed directly at the 5am insomniac, who's brain, fried by being awake for sixteen days was suddenly willing to open up to a Narnia-like world of soporific, sepia-toned beauty.

'House of Secrets' is the band's first new material since then, and is their first material with new guitarist JRC, who's spindly, spiderweb like guitar lines encircle and trap you in wave after wave of soft and sinister lullabies.
