Peering out of my London window at a quiet street basked in the warm dusk light, it feels I’m in exactly the right place to be listening to FLING’s sitar infused sunny-psych single ‘Magical’.
Track of the Day
TRACK OF THE DAY: LYRA – ‘Emerald’
Irish newcomer LYRA is a new breed of pop star. Sure, her music is viscerally charged with intensely rich hooks and pounding lyrics but she likens more to the Aurora‘s of this world than the Meghan Trainor‘s. Her latest icy pop dream, titled ‘Emerald’, glistens in a shimmering and powerful light.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Saltwater Sun – ‘Now Or Never’
The first glimmer of new material from Reading-based Saltwater Sun has finally fallen from the sky, the band caught our eye with last year’s storming debut EP, ‘Wild’. The new cut see’s the group call for action in full shimmering power-pop glory on ‘Now Or Never’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: EAT FAST – ‘Fenham Dreadlock’
When the time comes to announce yourself to the world, you have one of two options – One, a quiet solitary ‘Here I am’ or Two, a rearing of the head that makes all other heads turn with it. EAT FAST opted for the latter. These newcomers have ravished and accumulated all in their path […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Lostboycrow – ‘Thursday’
We all know the infamous Craig David song about the days of the week, but here ‘Thursday’ takes on a completely different meaning. The sophisticated cut takes Lostboycrow’s sultry R&B pop to breathtaking highs, with some flirtatious winks added in for the extra swoon. This is the L.A. artist at his most vulnerable and sexiest […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: BANFF x Caitlin Park – ‘My Love, My Lover’
‘My Love, My Lover’ brings about a collaboration that will spark an endless love affair, like the classics have done before them, from Dolly and Kenny‘s ‘Islands in the Stream’ all the way to Sandy and Danny‘s ‘You’re the One That I Want’, these two Aussie musicians match perfectly like the milk to the other’s honey.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Her’s – ‘What Once Was’
Liverpool-based Her’s made a startling entrance upon releasing debut ‘Dorothy’ – with its darkly swooning intelligence, it made for a starry-eyed introduction to the duo’s throwback sound. Arriving in quick succession is the second half of the release, the wistful and indulgently dreamy ‘What Once Was’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Inevitable Daydream – ‘Drive All Night’
The esoteric Kent-hailing, now London-based troop spat out their opening statement last month to a celebratory yelp from all who were lucky enough to stumble on the slacker grunge of their delicious debut, ‘Gunblade’. Returning with a wistful slice of equally rambunctious labours, the trio unveil ‘Drive All Night’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: NGOD – ‘Blue’
Appearing from out of the depths of Yorkshire is a promising young band named NGOD. The quintet hail from Bradford, and are primed and ready to make a name for themselves outside of their hometown. New single ‘Blue’ is a feel good, supercharged bolt of alt-rock that is no less indebted to its addictive charms […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Labradoor – ‘Silence’
Brace yourselves, summer is coming. And with it, the tropical indie bliss of Labradoor’s latest release ‘Silence’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Billie Marten – ‘Milk & Honey’
It’s always a good day when we receive new music from Yorkshire teenager, Billie Marten and this time is no exception. While the title of her new single may suggest a raiding of the kitchen’s larder, here we find Marten overturning much deeper thoughts than ever before. ‘Milk & Honey’, as she explains is “a song about […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Sara Hartman – ‘Satellite’
Pop has a new rising star and her name is Sara Hartman. She’s already toured with powerhouse Ellie Goulding and is soon to be joining X Ambassadors on their US tour, this May. But first she brings us her brightest pop constellation to date and the title track of her debut EP – ‘Satellite’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: FAIRCHILD – ‘Neighbourhoods’
The Aussies with a love for 80’s new wave are back. FAIRCHILD return with a new neon-blaring gem that is set to excite the long summer night’s that await us. The track is ‘Neighbourhoods’, and it teases to a mind that is beseeched with lust for one that should probably be left alone. But like most […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: ISLAND – ‘Spotless Mind’
ISLAND were our favourite new band to appear out of 2015, the Londoners have now returned with the first single of a double release. ‘Spotless Mind’ see’s the band find composure in pensive thought, questioning and pondering the ‘what if’s’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: LYRA – ‘Rabbit In The Headlights’
Little is known about the mysterious bride in the photo. Was she abandoned at the alter? Maybe. Has she run away from her wedding? Possibly. Or is this some kind of fairytale, Gothic romance? Most certainly. It’s all up for contention. But let’s leave the matter of the accompanying imagery behind for a moment, and meet […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Carmody – ‘Skin’
This an exquisite slice of alt-pop from London based singer-songwriter Carmody. With smooth and emotive Aurora-esque vocals leading from the start, the track slowly builds as the ludicrously on point production spirals around the melodic centre point.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Westerman – ‘Jericho’
It is difficult to pin down exactly what it is that gives Westerman that distinctive haunting sound, but there are qualities to his music which are bewitching and enchanting unlike anything else. Just as you’d expect, his latest release ‘Jericho’ is enchanting, prophetic and divine.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Yellow Days – ‘Little Palace’
Yellow Days defies convention. His compositions drift in and out of formal structures, rather choosing to feel their way, through the yelp’s and calm’s of his disarming vocal call. It’s indie at its most immersive and inventive best, with a soulful twist and the sway of free-form. Not often do we come across such ambition […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Inevitable Daydream – ‘Gunblade’
London-via-Kent upstarts Inevitable Daydream are making a name for themselves. Already revered in their hometown of Maidstone, the band since re-locating to London have set their sights further afield. And if their latest track is anything to go by, the revolution is imminent. The bloody and charred remains of gnarled refrains and violent feedback make for a […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Skeleton Frames – ‘Quicksand’
Torn between Exeter and Bristol, Skeleton Frames are the newcomers that are set to excite those long summer night’s that await, with their mosh-pit approved first single proper ‘Quicksand’.
