See: Leon of Athens release video for Baby Asteroid
Out now is the new video from riding indie popper Leon of Athens, Baby Asteroid. Securing award winning director Yorgos Lanthimos to take control of the visuals, its a slightly weird, slightly funny and definitely thought provoking. Its a take, albeit a conceptual one, on modern society, a clear shot at Leon and Yorgos’ home …
Track: Liz – Hush
Already working with the current flavours of the month of the producing game, namely Djemba Djemba, The Picard Brod and Lido, Liz mixes up her own blend of Y2K pop with a good old dollop of Aaliyah style RnB with glitchy pop and splash of garage, she follows up her debut EP ‘Just like you’ …

Out digitally on June 16th digitally is the new single from The Band of Holy Joy.

Track: Wolf Alice – ‘Storms’
We’ve mentioned London band Wolf Alice before and were very impressed by their darker shoegazey sound. This is never more evident than in their new single “Storms”, streamed here: A wall of fuzzy guitars cut by lilting, yearning vocals and smashed out of the court by a driving chorus. It’s lovely. This band is being touted as …
See: Human Hair release Hungers video and announce live dates.
We warned you about Human Hair a month ago. At the time we had the rumour of an album, the threat of some live dates and a tease of a track. But these were far more than rumours and threats; the album, ‘My Life As A Beast And Lowly Form’ is confirmed to be unleashed …
See: Desperate Journalist release Happening video
Now I sort of like Paul Morley, but if push came to shove, I think I like The Cure more. Seems like London four piece Desperate Journalist do as well, both my naming themselves after the band rounded on the said journo during a Peel Session for a less that favourable review, but also because …
