Luna Shadows doesn’t hide behind a façade on her tantalising debut single, ‘Cry Wolf’. Instead she prefers to bask in the sunlight, albeit under the glimmer of resounding melancholy. But don’t we all like to listen to sad songs in our sunnies?
Augustines return with new single ‘Are We Alive’, their first release in two years, and it’s a jubilant homecoming.
‘Here It Comes’ see’s the welcome return of Australian beauty Sahara Beck. Her first new material to be released off the forthcoming album ‘PANACEA’.
Stockholm’s Oracle North capture the atmospheric in new single ‘Communion’. A stark but immensely mesmeric electro-indie haunter, its patchwork of sounds will linger long after listening.
Creativity runs in Shaddad’s blood. Descending from a long line of artists and poets, dating as far back as the 1800’s, it’s not hard to fathom why Shaddad herself, is a remarkable songwriter and artist. Her latest ‘Run’, the title track from her new EP, is a sweeping but immensely intimate warning note to a […]
We are very pleased to be able to premiere a powerful and intimate performance of ‘Help Yourself’ by Bryde, filmed by the team at Ont’ Sofa. It’s unrelenting and immensely sincere.
Philadelphia based, alt-rock spearheads Birthday Boy have given us the premiere of their new EP ‘Hi Anxiety’. A collection of riotous and loud, towering rock songs.
Today’s newest burst of awesomeness comes from Kent band Dreamweaver, and the first single to be taken from their debut EP ‘Listless Fruition’. Recorded with Indoor Pets‘ James Simpson, the collaboration brings together a collective love for lo-fi, psych-pop.
Happiness is a beautiful thing. It can change our whole outlook and lift our mood, radiating positively in all that we do. The first single to be taken from Canadian troubadour Jon Bryant’s new album, ‘Twenty Something’, is reaching for a ray of hope. In essence, it is grasping for that glimmer of ‘Light’ within.
Dublin’s No Monster Club are memorable. Never one’s to stagnate or bow down to the generic, they deal in originality. Opting for the quirks that only self-perpetuated expression can bring, but it’s within their lo-fi noise pop that we truly explore who they are – unpretentious, faintly silly but completely genius. The band release their […]
LA-based revolutionaries Transviolet are stoking a bright fire with their outwardly aware world-view and empowering music. The band revealed their stunning debut EP at the tail-end of 2015, and now bring us another piece of the puzzle in visual form for new single ‘New Bohemia’.
Manchester band Easy Kill have been on the scene for a couple of years now, weaving their bittersweet imagery to great effect. Their ability to construct resoundingly emotional droplets of alt-pop, is akin to what I’d imagine, Elbow channelling the bespoke melancholy of The National would feel like – bitterly honest and profoundly thrilling. Easy Kill present […]

California’s FMLYBND are anything but dull. Their buzzy electronic pop is as vibrant and infectious as a vocal hook from an M83 song. It’s more than just bubbly synth rock though, that FMLYBND represent – it’s an attitude, it’s a lifestyle and most importantly, it’s freedom. They create a space for undiluted escapism – with […]
Yellow Days is George van den Broek – a writer, producer, artist. Now our mailbox gets filled up with a lot of new music every day so for something to cut through all that noise, it has to be special. And hearing Yellow Days for the first time sealed our opinion straight away, enough that we […]
London-based, singer/songwriter Westerman, inspired by the time he spent in rural Tuscany, began to notice that his writing had taken on another form. A lightness of touch and resonating depth struck his melodies and his words, leading to the formation of his plaintive debut single ‘Harvard’.
London trio Wyldest capture the mystical on new single ‘Stalking Moon’, as their dream pop continues to know no bounds. The cut is a fully absorbing four-and-a-bit minutes of reverberating guitars, sensual voice, prowling bass and crescendoing driving melodies.
Two voices coming together to create a distinct, harmonic tapestry will always be powerful. Paper Hawk exemplify this in their songcraft – resting on each other’s beautifully serene vocal cries, before unfurling into something that is both strong and potent. Their alt-folk is sewn together by the delicate brush strokes of their infatuating songwriting and deep-rooted […]
Dua Lipa’s pristine pop is infectiously catchy. And even more so, she holds a captivating energy with each and every sweet vocal turn spun from her lips. It’s pop acts like Dua that make mainstream media stand up and shout ‘hell yes’ along with the adoring masses. Pop music has an incredible ability to connect […]
