Having been ensconced in the studio writing new material for their forthcoming 5-track EP ‘Frisbee’ due 2019, German indie-pop 4-piece Kytes pre-empt its release with an exciting new track ‘Remedy’. ‘Remedy’ kicks off with a thumping 4 on the floor dance beat and develops into a displaced bass-line that anchors the entire song. Inspired by a self […]
Mike Krol has announced his new album, Power Chords. An evolution in sound, structure and themes, Power Chords serves as Krol’s boldest and longest record to date at 34 minutes. It’s hard-fought and hard-won, bloodied and bruised. And more importantly defiant and triumphant. The album’s lead single “Little Drama” is just one of the revelatory moments on the record. […]
Beach House have released a video for new song “Alien”, an outtake from the 7 sessions that was originally released as a B-side for a limited-edition, tour-only 7″. It is produced by the band, Sonic Boom, and Jason Quever. Fans can purchase the physical single, which includes the album track “Lose Your Smile” on the […]
Snapped Ankles are back with new single “Drink and Glide”. They find themselves in the tree-lined cul-de-sacs of the suburbs that surround the concrete forest of the citadel. Amongst the trees here are wooden posts with “For Sale” and “To Let” written in bold type. A new forest. Promises, promises. They glimpse the sportswear-clad inhabitants busying […]
After the spring release of their mini-LP Oîdophon Echorama, the psychedelic outfit Gloria returns to the UK to treat us to a few dates and a new release. The EP features four tracks. Hey Gyp is a take on this classic they often cover live, perfect for their sound with female and male vocals. The […]

The Madrid 4-piece have now shared a brand new single titled “British Mind”, aptly named as they […]
South Of Reality, The Claypool Lennon Delirium’s epic second album might be just the antidote this sick world needs. Music so potent it could repel an asteroid impact from space, these seasoned warriors of psychedelia have crafted timeless songs that may as well be chiseled in stone. The monolithic dream team’s new record was produced by Les Claypool and Sean […]
Adwaith have released “Y Diweddaraf” the latest track from their debut album Melyn, which translates as “Yellow” in Welsh. The new song is a meandering and defiant swipe at being told you can’t achieve your goals. The video was filmed and edited by Welsh Art collective ‘The Shoot’ who have a strong working relationship with Adwaith and state […]
