Singles That Mingle

With Captain Stavros

 

 

Umarells – June

 One More Day Out November 8 Via FOMO Records

A dreamy ditty great for melting those sunsets away as they coast along behind you in the rearview.

 

 

 Lazy Day – Falling Behind

Open The Door Out November 8 Via Brace Yourself Records

A motivated short and sweet track that leads the pace.

 

Everyone Says Hi – Only One

Completely inoffensive and unremarkable, it’s the TV in the background of songs, sometimes a snippet gets your attention though.

 

Efterklang – To A New Day

Things We Have In Common Out September 27 Via City Slang

Weird, wonderful and inspiring.

 

Tess Parks – Koalas

Pomegranate Out October 25 Via Fuzz Club

Lingering notes fill the space and the strumming guitar keeps the track bopping along. Zero Koalas were injured in the making of this track, nor mentioned.

 

Bria Salmena – Bending Over Backwards

Out Now Via Sub-Pop

A poppy ditty with a smooth locomotion.

 

DoFlame – Can’t Stand No One

Sometimes you just need drop D tuning and wrecking the place up in your life,  DoFlame provides.

 

Jeshi – Disconnect! (Feat Fredwave, Louise Cure, & J Cesar)

We’re new to Jeshi but they sure like to cram every bit of everything into a tune, keepin’ an eye on this one.

 

Crack Cloud – Lost on the Red Mile

Red Mile Out Now Via Jagjaguwar

A beautiful track.

 

 

Our frontline reporter and London correspondent, Captain Stavros, brings you the newest and most exciting new tunes.

 

Mothermary – ‘I am Your God’

 

Out Now – Italians Do It Better

 

Calling all Italians Do It Better fanboys/girls, double trouble coming at you with Mothermary. No such thing as too much of a good thing. Foot tapping rump shakin’ goodness.

 

 

Tempers – ‘Nightwalking’

 

Out April 1– on DAIS

 

Stripped back doom-synth (I’m not sure that’s a thing, but it is now!) sullen and moody. Somehow still catchy though.

 

 

Bnny – ‘I’m Just Fine’

 

Out now on Fire Talk

 

Melancholy vocals accompany equally melancholic melodies. If you dug Windowspeak and Holy Motors’ latest, give this a whirl.

 

 

Tess Parks – ‘Happy Birthday Forever’

 

Out May on Fuzz Club

 

We immediately got some low-fi Sneaker Pimps vibes off this one, let us know if you hear it too.

 

 

Media Giant – ‘Guilt/Shame’

 

Out now on Brace Yourself Records

 

We had a good feeling about this one because the promo shots were next level ironic. Media Giant’s tunes are anything but ironic, they feel awkward in a loveable and listenable way.

 

 

 

Zoee - ‘The Empty Glass’

 

Flaw Flower is out now on Illegal Data

 

Theatrical avant pop comes at you mostly like a psychedelic pagan ritual to welcome in the spring time sooner, a helluva lotta more fun than a ground hog day event in our opinion.

 

 

Geese – ‘Projector’

 

Out now on Partisan Records and in the UK for a tour in June.

 

Reminds us of Feet, effortlessly cool. It’s the type of track that reminds you to check-and-see what’s piping in through your headphones.

 

 

Calexico – ‘El Mirador’

 

Out April 8 on City Slang

 

A visually appealing video accompanies a familiar sound Calexico south-western sound. It’s a blur which, one, or all, South American musical styles they draw from and pay homage too point is it sounds mighty fine.
