Marcus Arch’s new single Carnivore is a deliciously dark slice of indie-rock. The song begins with melancholy vocals and jarring yet hypnotic sound effects which build to a euphoric, harmonic crescendo then go back to dissonance. The song revolves around the idea of fighting a shadowy figure, real or imagined. The animistic vocal hook represents […]

ViVii is the memorable Swedish trio who released their gorgeous debut EP Savant back in 2018. They are back with their new song Whistle which takes a new stance to previous releases dreamy electro-pop songs. It has a strong nostalgic Americana feel so it makes sense it was inspired while driving through the Nevada desert. […]

Despite its fun sound, the Palm Beach collective wrote the personal lyrics with […]

Somewhere in the East of London hides a historical music space known as The Curtain. Directed down to the bottom of the stairs and into a private room, I was welcomed by canapés and personalised cupcakes with an album cover on them; we were at the Half Alive listening party celebrating the coming of their […]

‘Something I Said’ is the charming new single from Devon-based trio Tors. The song has a very natural feel; showcasing something deep and emotional (“You give me hope when we lie in the dark”).

Pronounced “ply-ah,” Spanish for “beach” it features the vocals of Julia Sykes, whose eclectic upbringing has influenced the group with their connections to London, Europe and Los Angeles. Thirty seconds into the track and it makes you […]

Alt-pop trio Polo from Leeds released their debut EP, ‘Alice’ last Spring and […]
