Track: Terminal Gods -Road of the law
From the dimly lit world of the London underground, Terminal Gods return to the fray with ‘Road Of The Law’. An explosion of synthetics and raucous, full on trash guitars, perfectly accompanies the austere, baritone vocals of their lead singer. Caught somewhere between 70’s pomp and ceremony and the dark, alternative 80’s, The Gods don’t …
Track: All Kings And Queens – Voodoo
Siblings Joseph and Gabriella (no more information given) make the sort of icy synth pop that is impossible to ignore, demonstrated by their new track, Voodoo. Mixed by Heiko, who has worked with the likes of HAIM in the past, the track bubbles away with layers of synths, this funk filled bassline and little guitar …
See: Victories At Sea release new visuals for Sirens
Some say that you become your surroundings. Surround yourself with simple, pleasant things and you’ll have a simple pleasant life. That’s the theory anyway. But what if your surroundings are a bit bleaker than that? What if all around you is urban sprawl and derelict industry? Victories At Sea come from such surroundings, and rather …
Track: Pleasure Beach – Go
Go is the debut single from Belfast five piece Pleasure Beach, and far from being something cheap and tacky, and a little passed its best like the name suggests (at least if you’ve been to Blackpool’s said venue) it’s actually a little slab of pulsating, twinkling dream pop. Go trips along, like The a killers …
New: Janet Rushmore – Joy (Sonny Fodera Remixes)
If it was daunting tackling a real NYC garage-house anthem like Janet Rushmore’s ‘Joy’, then it doesn’t seem to have weighed heavy on London producer and DJ Sonny Fodera’s shoulders. First out in 1994, and an immediate underground hit, it’s already been remixed by the likes of house legend Kerri Chandler. Sonny Rushmore has produced …
Track: Promised Land Sound – Push and Pull (All the Time)
Ahead of the release of their sophomore album, For Use and Delight, Nashville’s Promised Land Sound give some indication of what we can expect with the rustic psych-rock/folk of Push and Pull (All the Time). It opens with these woozy chords, before it dances along, full of harmonies and the edgy yearn of frontman Joe …
Track: HeyRocco – Jake Millers House Party
South Carolina’s HeyRocco are headed back to the UK, in support of their Teenage Movie Soundtrack, which showed they were fine purveyors of messy grunge rock, filled with smart tunes and quirky tales. Cue a new single, Jake Miller’s House Party, out on October 30th via Vital Music (timed to coincided with the tour) that …
Album Review: Battles – La Di Da Di
Listening to Battles is like plugging into the mainframe of some futuristic generator. You are instantly pulled into this stream-of-consciousness robot groove that acts as some sort of virtual yellow brick road to meet the fantastical Oz. But Oz isn’t some little man that flew in on a hot air balloon. No, Oz is this …
See: Oh, Be Clever release new video for ‘River’
Oh, Be Clever are a bit of a new discovery for us. Not their fault, more ours. Turns out the Salt Lake City duo, Brittney Shields and Cory Scott Layton make these rather lovely slices of electronic pop. Certainly, River has this buffed gloss about it, complete with clicking guitars and a sheen about the …
See: Harper – ‘White Lies’ Music Video
After the debut from Harper made the top slot in my Top 10 EP’s of 2014 list, Harper has returned with brand new music and an incredibly captivating music video to go with it. This is Harpers signature sound in full swing. It’s dark, involving, addictive and powerful. Here is the video for ‘White Lies’, …
