Shimmering into view like a late ’60s teleportation effect, Damsen’s new tune ‘Something Good’ evokes the anxiety of our times and soundtracks it with sliding jazzy guitars and oceanic instrumentation. And also it alleviates the boredom for a bit. It’s a song about bettering oneself, shaking the dust off of an old relationship, and it […]
With a trademark self-assuredness balanced alongside open-hearted emotional fragility, Manchester based alt-indie singer songwriter Lindsay Munroe is a regular favourite of ours here at Bitter Sweet Symphonies. As she builds towards the release of her new EP, Our Heaviness (due in May), Munroe follows up her previous single ‘Mirror’ with this latest number, ‘Split.’
Live events might have ground to a halt in the very unusual lockdown times that we’re living in, but music isn’t stopping, and punk in particular has a history of thriving in times of adversity. We have been witnessing a bit of a moment of spotlight for the genre in recent years, but this might […]

Bringing a very different vibe yet familiar compared to the previous release ‘Neon Circus,’ this new track is another perfect introduction into […]
Releasing their debut album, The Loved Ones in 2017 was a defining moment for Flyte, and hardly the final curtain call. After the album impacted the band took to the road playing shows all across the globe, often headlining, sometimes opening for prominent names (including The Lemon Twigs and Lord Huron). Once tour wrapped the […]
Talkboy, ever poised to fill your ears with rich audio, have returned with a fresh new cut by way of Come Play With Me and LAB Records. ‘All Works Out‘ draws on the same bottomless well of energy as their previous single ‘Wasting Time’.

We love ourselves a little LYRA here at Bitter Sweet Symphonies, so the news of new music from the Irish chanteuse got us very excited.
Sometimes simplicity is key. No diverting melodies or show off-y instrumental tangents. And showcasing that less can be more is the little-over-a-week-old single, ‘Ordinary‘ by newcomer, Joe Connor Little.
