She’s also one of the acts to appear on the next season of Other Voices. The self-titled debut album is due for release in January, followed by her first proper Irish show (Dublin’s Workman’s Club on February 23rd). Her debut single, Jezebel, a beautiful display of Calvi’s art-rock sensibilities, confirmed all the early expectation, while her live show, which most recently saw her supporting Grinderman and Interpol, is something to be reckoned with. Since then, she has signed to Domino, spent much of 2010 perfecting her sound and enjoyed lavish praise from Brian Eno and Nick Cave. Last February we were swayed by tunes that came packaged with a tang of old-school mystery, a dollop of cinematic sass and a huge appreciation for the blues – qualities that never go out of fashion. THE LOW-DOWN Pat-on-the-back time: one of the first media sources to rave about Anna Calvi was The Ticket. SOUNDBITE “Time for Kings of Leon to abdicate” Ohio music writers got plenty of guffaws out of his claim a few years ago that he would be “bigger than Bono”. Reasons to be fearful? They have a frontman called Nick Brown who walks a fine line between cockiness and arrogance. These anthems have big guitars, passionate vocals, oodles of self-confidence and a nagging sense that you’ve heard nothing yet. Reasons to be cheerful: Mona make rock anthems that already seem tailor-made for big rooms and stadiums. From Dayton, Ohio, and based in Nashville, Tennessee, they are in pole position as the year begins. Hell, Mona even snarl like world-beaters (or four lads who’ve taken styling and grooming tips from Larry Mullen jnr and Glasvegas). THE LOW-DOWN If it’s swaggering, barnstorming anthems you’re after, you’ve come to the right place. SOUNDBITE “If you like The xx, you’re going to like this”
You can expect many to swoon to his soulful, minimal electronica, perfectly pitched sense of musical drama and powerful, evocative voice. In 2011 Blake will release his debut album (February) and roll out his live show.

The Bells Sketch, CMYK or Klavierwerkereleases for the full score on Blake – and collaborations with Mount Kimbie were what alerted many to his skills as a vocalist and producer. But dubstep connoisseurs were already wise to the 22-year-old Londoner, a producer who only started making music in the past few years while at Goldsmiths College in London.
It certainly didn't sound like anything else around. It was spooky, ethereal and otherworldly, as a voice akin to Mark Hollis from Talk Talk made nice with a soundbed of slow-motion post-dubstep weirdness. The Limit to Your Lovewas their first introduction to his work. THE LOW-DOWN For many, James Blake's version of Feist's JIM CARROLL, LAUREN MURPHY, SINEAD GLEESON, TONY CLAYTON LEA and Will any of these shiny new acts feature on our best album lists at the end of 2011? Don't be surprised if they do.
