London-based quartet Lunacre have released their new single “Red Sky”, taken from their forthcoming EP ‘Pearl Tabloid’. The latest cut is awash with the band’s blissful harmonies yet there’s a distinctive change of tone in the second half as a crunching, distorted guitar introduces another facet of the forthcoming EP’s soundscape. Beginning last year on a […]
Following sell-out UK and US tours, Idles have confirmed a 2019 world tour, headlining their biggest venues yet. The run will include their first ever run of dates in Australia. Tickets go on sale Friday November 9th at 10am local time. Idles new album ‘Joy As An Act Of Resistance’ debuted at no.5 in the UK charts, breaking […]
Dutch musician and singer song-writer Sofie Winterson has released her sophomore album ‘Sophia Electric’ via Excelsior Recordings. Sofie has also now shared a video for the track “Half Asleep” taken from the album. She says that the song “is about holding back out of fear. When you listen to the lyrics, you’ll know what I mean by […]
“KCTMO” is the debut single by new London post-punk three-piece Pozi, out now on PRAH Recordings. Its accompanying video is an eerie dawn drive through the deserted streets of Chelsea and Kensington, the lifeless shell of Grenfell Tower occasionally looming forlornly into view above the white mansions. Its significance and symbolism requires no explanation. “May the residents rest […]
Experimental folk songwriter and Northern Irish Music Prize winner Joshua Burnside is to reissue his 2013 EP, If You’re Goin That Way, which has been reconstituted and embellished in to a deluxe package called Wear Bluebells In Your Hat If You’re Goin That Way, (a line from lead single “Black Dog Sin”). It is due out via Quiet Arch […]
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 […]
