Track: Shelter Point – Fossil
Current dreamy, electronica favourites Shelter Point are back with a new track, Fossil, taken from their forthcoming EP Weird Dreamers, which drops on February 23rd via RCA sub label Space + Time. Taking the lead from the likes of Boards of Canada and Mount Kimbie, the band add these soulful vocals making something that’s completely …
Track: Stornaway – The Road You Didn’t Take
Oxford indie folk band Stornoway are back with a third, as yet untitled album, due out on April 13th. Searching for new ideas and with the lyrical cupboard (that is, his notebook) bare, songwriter and frontman Dr. Brian Briggsford took his family and upped sticks for the Gower Pennisula in Wales, perhaps (and I’m relying …
Track: KIT – No Mercy
New York rockers KIT is actually the brainchild of former Scapegoat front man Kit Walters, who, apart from fronting prog metal bands, also was the featured vocalist for the Metal Gear Rising: Revengance video game. Whereas their previous EP Through the Fire showed the band at their electro-infused best, their new single ‘No Mercy’ is …
Track: Soak – Sea Creatures
We’ve written about teenage Irish singer-songwriter Bridie Monds-Watson before in glowing terms, but upon listening to her new single, ‘Sea Creatures’, which drops on March 16th via Rough Trade, she’s upped her game again in producing a song which is startling in its beauty and astonishing in its lyrical wordplay. And trust us, there’s no …
EP: Dorsia – Bygones
London production duo Dorsia kick off the new year with their second release, out through the Chasing Unicorns label on February 2nd. It follows on from their debut single Ghana which came out on LOFT records last spring and earned them support from the likes of Bicep, Tensnake, Jaques Renault and The Magician. Title track …
Track: Twilight Sad – I could give you all that you don’t want, plus tour dates
Taken from their latest, fourth album Nobody Wants To Be Here and Nobody Wants To Leave, is the new single from Scottish grunge / shoe gazers The Twilight Sad. ‘I Could Give You All That You Don’t Want’ was one of the stand out tracks on the record anyway, and it drops on February 9th …
Track: Mercury nominee’s Young Fathers release new single, Soon Come Soon
When this year’s Mercury nominations were announced, I don’t think anybody would have picked Young Fathers out as the winner. But that’s the beauty of the Mercurys. They don’t always pick the obvious choice, and often go for something a little more innovative and leftfield. But win they did with album ‘DEAD’. It brought the …
See: Ghosts Of Eden release video to “Happy”
There’s nothing too groundbreaking about “Happy”, the new song from New York quartet Ghosts of Eden, but its just the sort of power pop / rock that impossible not to like. There’s this rollercoaster riff, driven on by the drums and garnished by vocalist/guitarist Tom’s gruff delivery. Suddenly though, right in the middle of a …
See: Tear Talk release video for ‘Realise’
Realise is the new track from Liverpool five piece Tear Talk, aka Josh Miller (Vocals/ Guitar), Liam Bates (Guitar), Iain Currie (Bass Guitar), Luis Winder (Keyboards) & Tom Manning (Drums). It comes off the back of their now long sold out debut 7″ ‘B R E A T H E’, which came out last year …
New Music: Andrew Keoghan releases the quirky indie pop of Better Company
Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand and now based in Brooklyn, Andrew Keoghan seems to have successfully infused a cool naivety with a quirky, knowing feel to his new single, “Better Company”. I can’t help think of archetypal New York band, Tom Tom Club in the bouncy instrumentation and Jonathan Richman or David Byrne in the …
