We asked Simon Jones, lead singer of The Holidays, to pick some of his favourite Soundcloud tracks for us.
Sydney's THE HOLIDAYS have recently been hard at work recording their new album 'Real Feel' and the final product has just been released!
We caught up lead singer Simon Jones and asked him for his favourite tracks on SoundCloud this week. We wanted a little taste of what THE HOLIDAYS have been listening too recently...
LITTLE DRAGON 'Klapp Klapp'

ERNEST ELLIS 'Black Wire'
Ernest Ellis put out an all time album, King's Canyon a few years back and now they're back with another one that promises to be as good.
CUT COPY 'Free Your Mind' (SPIRITUALIZED Version)
'Cut Copy have a knack for getting the best remixes of anyone ever, the Andrew Weatherall mix of Sun God is a modern classic. But this one is probably my favourite song of the past few months.
I mean getting J Spaceman to write a new Spiritualized track with your vocals over it, that's pretty nice. Especially when it sounds like it's straight from Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space.'
OLIVER WILDE 'Stomach Full of Cats'
MOUNT KIMBIE 'Made To Stray' (DJ KOZE Remix)
TORO Y MOI 'Campo'
'This is kinda old now but I only just discovered it yesterday so maybe others won't know it, random non-album track from the original sexynerd grooveshark.
Chaz is my go to guy for chilling and this track is like Curtis Mayfield on a sunday morning. The drums are notably excellent.'
CONNAN MOCKASIN 'I'm The Man, That Will Find You'
Real Feel is out now and to celebrate THE HOLIDAYS are heading out on tour with Brisbane band THE CAIROS supporting them along the way.
