Here's a nice song from Los Angeles

I promise I'm not neglecting the blog it's just that, well, there isn't much new music around to get excited about. That I seriously considered a post about Ellie Goulding's single from the 50 Shades soundtrack should tell you everything you need to know.

So it's with a sense of relief that I stumbled across BØRNS, the slightly twattish stage name of Michigan's Garrett Borns.

His debut single 10,000 Emerald Pools exudes a dreamy 1970s vibe, full of falsetto harmonies and soaring synths. It's been knocking around the internet since October, but he's starting to gain more attention now that he's been signed to Interscope.

As you'll discover, it's very pretty and exactly the sort of music you'd come up with if you, too, lived in a treehouse.

Mark him down as one to watch.
