*Guest Editor Pick Worldly, indie/funk jet setters Unknown Mortal Orchestra release the video for “First World Problem”, acting as a standalone single and follow up to the brilliant ‘Multi-Love’ (2015). Featuring a video of a man and woman dancing across various different landscapes, from a living room to a desert, it’s a great piece of […]
With their debut album out Aug 19th via Sacred Bones, Exploded View, fronted by political journalist/musician Anika, are unveiling their new track ‘Lost Illusions’. The band are set to play a run of UK dates this August. Eerie opening drums start ‘Lost Illusions’, followed by Anika’s recognisable uninflected vocals. The song’s title is as thought provoking […]
Part of a full European tour, Canadian DIY electro punkers Holy Fuck have announced three dates in the UK and Ireland. After the release of their first bit of music in six years, their last album entitled ‘Latin’ (2010), the group are back with their unique methods of creation. New tunes coming off their latest […]
Daniel Woolhouse, who has previously released material under the name Deptford Goth, unveils his new video for latest single “Map of The Moon”. It’s a nice little piece of music, synths carry the moody vocal from Woolhouse at a relaxing pace. It offers atmosphere but at the same time, takes you on a track of […]
American dream pop duo Beach House release the new video for ‘The Traveller’, taken from their latest record Thank Your Lucky Stars (2015). In this video, the imagery most definitely matches the loose socketed sound. Dreamy, slightly ethereal, Victoria Legrand’s vocal soothes the synth and guitar whilst the distorted 80’s VHS style movement unfolds. Directed […]
UK Indie darlings Daughter release video for the rather odd track “No Care”, taken from their latest record ‘Not to Disappear’ (2016). When you first watch the video for “No Care” it comes across very 90s, probably due to its parts in black and white and flashing reds whilst the band perform. The music itself […]
*Guest Editor Pick Philadelphia’s heart punching, crowd pleasing punk rockers Beach Slang unveil “Punks in A Disco Bar”, taken from their second record ‘A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings’. Apart from the likes of Placebo, The Smiths and Fat White Family, hardly any other groups have really gripped me like Beach Slang have. Only hearing […]
*Guest Editor Pick The Garden are probably one of the strangest acts I’ve ever heard. I know a lot of people say that about anything abit kooky or alternative, but this shit’s in another universe. “Call This # Now” is basically the soundtrack to a 70’s game show, sandwiched between short bursts of DIY punk/hardcore. […]
*Guest Editor Pick Scouse trio Elevant raise the stakes with the hard-edged “Hide It Away”, possessing cool, casually delivered vocals and a groovy bass line that’s sure to have you foaming. The Liverpool band, made up of Michael Edward (guitar, vocals), Hannah Lodge (bass/organ) and Tom Shands (drums/piano), return with a stand-alone single, after the […]
‘Scars’ is the new track from DIY rock/punk band False Advertising, you’ll be sure to like it if you’re into anything with fuzzy guitar. After a busy few months for the group, including a slot at Liverpool’s Sound City (even if this year it was abit shit) and supporting Husker Du oldboy Bob Mould, the […]
