Track: Flowers – Everybody’s Dying to Meet You
Flowers return with their second album ‘Everybody’s Dying To Meet You’ and as one person who falls in love easily, I’m not ashamed to say I’m in love with this LP. If you spent your youth shoe gazing in the indie clubs on a Friday night to Cocteau Twins and Galaxie 500 this will be up your …
Track: Alfred Hall – Safe and Sound
Norwegian duo Alfred Hall might be a new name to some of us here in the UK, but the that’ll more than likely change very soon with the release of their Safe & Sound EP on March 25th, the first time their music has come out here. The pair, engineering undergrad Hans Thomas, and medical …
Track: Witching Waves – Pitiless
Taken from their forthcoming album ‘Crystal Cafe’, out on February 26th via HHBTM Records (US)/Soft Power (UK), London trio Witching Waves have released a second single, Pitiless – aka Emma Wigham, Mark Jasper, and Ed Shellard. Opening with this twisting guitar line, it soon unfurls into this driving indie rock gem, mixing up elements of …
Track: Lila Rose – All the beauty
California based rising singer songwriter Lila Rose has just released her new single, All the Beauty. Apparently cursed with ‘ultrasound sensitivity’ but drawn to spend her life making music, she describes it (or at least her press people do) as being both a curse and a gift. All the Beauty is part Florence Welsh, with …
Track: Sam Fowke – Red Handed
Yeah, he’s got a beard, that Sam Fowke. What of it, so loads of those singer songwriter types these days. As well as beard cultivation, the Gloucester-born, Cardiff based musician also likes fine jumpers and long walks on the beach, and probably days when he can combine the three. And I didn’t even make that …
New Music: Holly Macve – We Don’t Know Where We’re Going
Bella Union really is the place to be right now. It is already the home to such acts as MONEY, Ezra Furman, and Emmy The Great. So latest signing Holly Macve is in good company. The Yorkshire lass was signed up last year, and is already setting off on tour, supporting Villagers. This brand new …
Track: Silver Wilson – George Town
If your heart broke when Nottingham band Gorgeous Chans announced the end of their musical journey last month then fear not: Silver Wilson are here to pick up the pieces. Featuring three members of the recently disbanded group, Silver Wilson are here to pursue where the Gorgeous Chans left off; making exquisite indie music with an …
Track: IDestroy – Vanity Loves Me
Bristol all-grrrl (you see what I did there, right) trio IDestroy, aka singer/guitarist Bec Jevons alongside Becky Baldwin (bass/backing vocals) and Jenn Haneef (drums), are preparing for the release of their debut EP ‘Vanity Loves Me’ on February 26th. Ahead of its release the girls are streaming the title track, a sneering but infectious slice …
Track: Wild Nothing – Reichpop
“I desperately wanted for this to be the kind of record that would displace me,” says Jack Tatum, aka Wild Nothing, of his forthcoming third album, Life of Pause. “I’m terrified by the idea of being any one thing, or being of any one genre. And whether or not I accomplish that, I know that …
EP: The Winter Typres – Holding Hands In Public
‘The Winter Tyres’ is a five-piece acoustic pop band based in Belgium, that came into existence when Brian Bordello (The Bordellos) found a battered C60 cassette down the back of the sofa, that he’d made aeons ago entitled “Songs For a Girl to Sing”. These songs were sent to his old friend Claire Wilcock, and …
