Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world There is a curious, yet electrifying mix of light and dark in this month’s new album releases! For every piece of sunny Balearic brilliance there is an angry scream into the night. For every slice of languid chill-out there is a funky guitar lick, or a hammering techno beat. All of which makes June a fantastic time to own a working pair of ears. By JOHN BITTLES

Yet, trust me when I tell you that there is some wonderful music out there. To prove the point this follow-up to last weeks article highlights some more amazing singles and EPs, from the likes of Robag Wruhme, Gardens Of God. Felix
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world After watching the above movie I was feeling a little traumatised, so I decided to keep my mind off vampiric women by immersing myself within the world of new singles and EPs.

Music | Bittles‘ Magazine Have you heard the new Madonna record yet? Terrible! The entire time I was listening to it the only thing I could think was »That poor woman!«. Whoever advised her that songs like Bitch I’m Madonna were a good idea deserves to be locked in a room with Mark Ronson for an entire day. Luckily there is some fantastic new music out there which more than makes up for the inane racket created by the Peter Pan of pop. By JOHN BITTLES
