That off the hook sax is certainly magic, enjoy this blasting ditty.

 

Hand Habits – Wheel of Change

Blue Reminder Out August 22 Via Fat Possum

A perfect mash up of grunge rock and clangey pianey, seamless unlike this sentence. Wheel of Change, a self-reflexive metamorpheso-piece-o?

Here’s a moody broody EP that changes tact just in time to remain in the conscious instead of subconscious.

Jellywish Out Now Via Double Whammy

If a song could take on the physical form of a butterfly and land on your arm in a ray of sunshine, this track would be it. 

 

ANIKA – Oxygen

Sounds like auto-tune, but not? Ain’t no quick fixes with this track.

A track that does what it says on the tin, which is sound lovely. No surprises, but no letdowns either. 

 

Bruit – The Intoxication of Power 

The Age of Ephemerality Out Now Via Pelagic

Bruitish, but not brutal, would recommend.

Hex Key Out Now Via Epitaph 

The only reason we’re not giving up is because we cannot wait till they make it across the pond to entertain us live. 

 

Farao – Dream Ride
