Now, after select UK shows which […]

The songs aim to remind us that human beings haven’t evolved so much, that music can still be straight to the point, efficient and exciting. Savages are: […]
Peaking Lights are Aaron and Indra, a musical duo from Wisconsin who came to prominence last year with their debut album ‘936’. It’s an awesome listen, taking in sun-soaked reggae sounds, minimalist electronica, woozy, dreamy synths and some beautiful vocals to make your heart melt. Don’t be fooled though; there is nothing soppy or soft […]
Following a (mostly sold out) headline tour through the UK this month, Perfume Genius is now giving away a brand new track, “Rusty Chains” for free.
