During this unsettling time, there’s a need for cheery news and that comes in the form of Modern Daze’s latest single Barcelona. It’s the refreshing hit of summer we all need. There’s an indie-rock feel to this track and the lead singer’s voice is raspy and textured. The Killers spring to mind with the fuzzy, […]

The self-titled ‘Schizophrenic indie/pop-rock’ duo, Gravity Circus, has released their latest single which is about a life of solitude and alienation. Ironically, it was written months before this current time of isolation and uncertain dismay. Jimmy Nagaura’s raw sound in Shuteye shares a likeness with Declan McKenna and DMA’S’ Tommy O’Dell – although grittier and […]

It’s hard to believe this powerful artist is only the tender age of 16. Hattie Oates’ new single High takes an unexpected turn with the tense, pounding second half of her track, revealing new depth and grittiness. The tone shifts in High when there is a sudden dark, crashing tone. This is a dramatic change […]

Since bouncing onto the alternative R&B scene in 2017, this avant-garde artist is a breath of fresh air in a crowded genre. Latir’s soulful, emotional Juvenile Forever is a far cry from 2017’s Juvenile Youth; it’s a far more grown-up and powerful single. The maturity in Latir’s sound is impressive. There’s a Cocteau Twins-esque, wobbly, […]

I’m not familiar with the Romanian electronic music scene but I’d say Golan has conquered it. Their spacey, mysterious tones in Anima set the scene for an exciting four minutes of synthy Caribou-like sounds. Anima shares likeness with Caribou’s Suddenly and the unpredictable depth of Tame Impala – this is most prominent towards the end […]

The mystical, echoey tones of Jillian Lake’s Bleed Baby Bleed makes you feel tense and calm all at the same time. It’s not quite a classic acoustic love song but it has its own identity. Bleed Baby Bleed is slightly distorted sounding with Lake’s mellow voice guiding you through the track in a fragmented but […]

Blair Lee’s Less Or More is a summer breeze, a hippy-dippy acoustic Sunday afternoon track. There’s an enjoyable, steady thud with twinkly whispers and a flowery rhythm. It’s carefree and calming, pretty and stress-free. The soft, subtle sounds of Blair Lee’s voice take you away to a happier place; a joyful, calming serenity. Amongst the […]

Looking into the future as an orange-haired pop-punk singer in the midst of the emo heyday, I wonder if Hayley Williams ever pictured herself experimenting with a solo project and a tame hairstyle. Williams has an impressive catalogue of albums and genres – she’s certainly expanded her musical talent and explored new styles over the […]

Bethany Ferrie’s Stayed is a modern love story and the nostalgia of being with someone and remembering a simpler, better time. It’s honest, real and heart wrenching, the kind of song you would hear in the chocolate aisle in Asda and burst into tears when you think you’re fine. However, at the same time, it’s […]

There’s something about ‘Normal Now’ that immediately sits you in a field with the sun beating down and a fruity cider in your hand. It’s the perfect summer song: upbeat but chilled enough that you melt away and just smile. LA-based Indie duo Limón Limón seamlessly fuses inventive beats with clever lyrics which is more […]
