BBC Sound of 2013

So the BBC recently announced their list for the "Sounds of 2013", the bands and artists they think will be making the biggest impact over the next 12 months.

1. HAIM
2. AlunaGeorge
3. Angel Haze
4. Laura Mvula
5. Chvrches

I like all that have made it to the top 5, and it would be difficult for me to choose a fave, but I have been listening to both HAIM and AlunaGeorge for the last few months and would definitely give them a High 5, or even a pat-on-the-back for the great tunes they are providing.. But I am currently really enjoying:

Chvrches - The Mother we Share (a track that has so much going on in terms of electro beats, synthesizers, gentle vocals, that it almost shouldn't work, but it completely does and it is unique and wonderful)

The others that made the shortlist are:
A*M*E, Arlissa, King Krule, Kodaline, Little Green Cars, Palma Violets, Peace, Savages, The Weeknd, Tom Odell

Here's a few goodies to get you going:
