Real life can be all-the-more inspiring when you choose to live it – there’s a secret to be discovered in the synergy of forces that lie outside our own lifeblood. We see, we observe; we touch, we feel; we learn, we grow. The music of Vivienne Chi is engaged in an outer-existence, of a fiery […]
The six-piece Australian outfit released their debut album, ‘So Long and Thank You’ on 4th August 2017 – for some, the release may have gone unnoticed, whilst for the select bunch aware of the matter, the occasion proved to be a monumental victory lap.
As the third release from Newcastle’s Dome Hall this year, ‘Sugarray’ continues an impeccable record of writing original and versatile musical works. The new cut occupies another untraveled space; dancing at a slow to mid range tempo, its cradle-song temperament is given full tenure to consume a dreamy sway of part-twilight romance, part-nostalgic melancholy. It’s […]
The 2017 edition of Kendal Calling served up a whole host of excellent amusements. Music may be the intended primary focus, but this festival thrives on much more than just its live stages: From the art installations, to the fringes of the outlandish, and the child-friendly play areas, literally every need is catered for. Though […]
Gracefully rousing and feeling more resilient than ever, our favourite pop-making magnate Sara Hartman returns with a glowing taste of the new on ‘Dance with a Ghost’.
Manchester’s The Slow Readers Club is living proof that persistence, dedication to your craft, and a will to succeed are critical necessities when preparing for the long haul. Climbing through the ranks, the band has played literally everywhere across their hometown city: from disused firehouses to living rooms, the 18,000 capacity arena, and sold-out shows […]
Celebrated Northern festival, Kendal Calling returns for its 2017 programme to the gorgeous scenic surroundings of Lowther Deer Park in The Lake District. Crowned the ‘UK’s Best Small Festival’ by popular live ticketing agent Skiddle, this year’s event surely does live up to the significant hype. Providing entertainment for all ages, the large billing includes […]
Returning two months after debuting the opening chapter of a three-song saga, Barcelona-born artist Fins Ara is now ready to divulge another fragment from his personal collection. The aching piece of ethereal woe has been gifted to Bitter Sweet Symphonies to share in the first play.
Gold Coast collective FAIRCHILD practise a fine balance of tight-roping dynamics on lead album cut, ‘So Long and Thank You’.
It’s no secret that EAT FAST have been a regular in our pages since they launched, now well into the music game, the lo-fi punks step out of the shade to bring us their most action-packed moment to date: ‘Immortal Kombat’.
After succeeding triumphantly as the crowned winners of last month’s #BitterSweetPlaylist, we satisfy our promise and gift you, our readers, an exclusive chat with indie’s finest dream pop bright-sparks, Softer Still. The song which landed them here, ‘Forever Faces’ – is an ’80s facing synth jam of pure purpose and sweeping jangle, and just one of […]
Previewing the first material from their forthcoming body of work, Canterbury’s Tokyo Tea Room gift swirling textures and ethereal tones on ‘Sunset Exit’.
A small collection of intimate shows were announced in April, that would see the Manchester art-pop collective Everything Everything squeeze their five person live set-up into some of the country’s most exciting venues – the hometown show to take place in the marvelled Albert Hall. Arriving on the hottest day of the year, a few […]
London group Junior Empire prime their candidacy as centurions of the all-night rave with the release of their first full body of work.

Step into the sunshine with Young Earth’s ‘Worth It’, debuting below. The Irish group moving further forward from last March’s introductory ‘Got A Secret’, summon charging Kooks-esque indie for a gleaming summer pop rampage.
London’s Bat and Ball reveal a vital (if not, the most important) piece from their forthcoming debut full-length with new track, ‘Worth’. The trio challenge and protest body image in this new musical dialogue. Self-worth is almost always hard-won, especially living in a time where outside factors dominate and protrude all who have access to […]
Escapism may seem like a cowardly exit method at times, but it’s true we all need to breakaway every now and then, and it’s fair to say that music is one of those mediums that we turn to. Appropriately so, the coral-washed sounds of Westerman cannot project a more fitting or absorbing ideal. Cleansing to the […]
Leading the way in sunny splendour, ahead of the release of forthcoming extended player ‘Bloodshot’, is Albin Lee Meldau’s blinding tenacity on new cut ‘Persistence’.
