It’s Monday – yes, it’s back to work, but it also means that today’s Song of the Day comes from guitarleaves’ Artist of the Week – The Octopus Project. If you liked “Sharpteeth”, which we featured on Thursday, then I think you’ll like “Wet Gold”. A bizarre song (although the sanest out of the band’s collection) in its own right, it experiments with a unique set of harmonies and instruments, giving the band their wonderfully odd trademark flavour. Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Song of the Day – Waves
Two words: Mr. Probz. Does it really need an introduction? If you haven’t heard the Robin Schulz remix of “Waves” by Mr. Probz, then you need to go outside. A true continental mash-up, with Mr. Probz (or Dennis in his spare time) being Dutch and Robin Schulz a German DJ, “Waves” unsurprisingly reached the UK No. 1 towards the end of April. If you’re heading to anywhere vaguely music-related this Summer, then be prepared for this insane record to be on repeat – a lot – although that’s not a complaint.
Song of the Day – Patterns
Say hello to “Patterns”, a mega-song from Tourist featuring Lianne La Havas. With strong vocals (not dissimilar to Miss. Jessie Ware) and a nice bit of gospel backing, Tourist (London-based producer William Phillips) has really outdone himself, adding electronic textures to a relaxing melody perfect for the Summer. If you like “Patterns”, then check out Tourist’s latest EP of the same name.
Song of the Day – From Eden
Who’s heard of Hozier? If you have then you’ll understand why we’re addicted to his songs so much. Irish-born Andrew Hozier-Byrne truly has written a masterpiece in “From Eden”. Simple melodies combined with husky undertones make this record special, although over-listening may result in spontaneous roadtrips. And even better, though it doesn’t affect the song in the slightest, we really like the graphics on the video. Who says we’re just a music blog? Big respect, Hozier.
