Not much is known about Brooklyns Mother, at least by us. What we do know is that they released Easy onto their soundcloud page a couple of months ago and it promptly got over 200k plays. And there’s a reason for that. Its because its this warm, shimmering piece of arty synth pop, laden with …

You can’t help but wonder about the lives of others. According to their bio, the duo who make up Solomon Grey (Oxford friends Tom Kingston and Joe Wilson) pursued their muse in a lighthouse in Cork vacated by one of their relatives, where they recorded in splendid isolation, before then moving to another remote property …

Part of growing up is the inevitable invites to dinner parties. I try, as much as I can to avoid them.

You read about the song in our piece earlier in June, now watch the video for Laura Welsh’s “Cold Front” (single out on 15 July). Erotic, sensual and enticing, the video opens with the neat conceit of a dancer being manipulated by silhouetted puppet masters. But it doesn’t overplay the idea, the video developing through …
