Singles That Mingle

With Captain Stavros

 

The Reds, Pinks & Purples – What’s Going On With Everyday People

Unwishing Well Out April 12 Via Tough Love

Smooth sailing, for everyday people.

 

VR Sex – In Great Detail

Hard Copy Out Now Via Dais

There are at least three genres here we never thought would mash-up so well.

 

Chastity Belt – Laugh

Live Laugh Love Out Now Via Suicide Squeeze Records

Don’t let the horrible album title sway you; the tunes are pretty wavy.

 

Crumb – Amma

Amma Out May 17 Via Crumb Records

Weird and wonderful.

 

Slate – Remoter Heaven

Deathless Out May 17 Via Brace Yourself Records

Smoothy Groovy, moody tooty.

 

Kneecap – Fine Art

Fine Art Out June 15 Via Heavenly Recordings

It’s too bad these lot have blown up and are absolutely killing it because so many insufferables will be at their next string of live shows.

 

Ed Harcourt – El Magnifico

Great title, great track, great title track.

 

Sinkane – Come Together

We Belong Out Friday Via City Slang

Discoey and gooey, check-er-oooot.

 

Curses – Elegant Death

Another winner from the IDIB crew.

 

Max Blansjaar – Anna Madonna

Jangly and fun, something to shake that money maker to.

 

Magana – Break Free

Sure footed, lighthearted, tune.

 

Frog – RIP to the Empire Flea Market

Hop to it and get a listen-on.

Singles That Mingle

With Captain Stavros



Hollow Coves – Photographs

Nothing To Lose Out March 1 Via Netwerk Records

Upbeat and optomistic.


Feral Family – Sold

Not sure I’ll ever be a huge FF fan but this track’s got juice.


Idles – Gift Horse

The tensions in the song and video both are worth a gander.


Porij – My Only Love

Teething Out February 26 Via Play It Again Sam Records

Watching Porij evolve is quite satisfying.


Lip Critic – The Heart

Out Now Via Partisan Records

This’ll wake you up.


The Fauns – Shake Your Hair

How Lost Out Now Via Invada Records

A timeless track, solid.


Ed Harcourt – Deathless

El Magnifico Out March 29 Via Deathless Recordings

Sortofa Sufjan Stevens vibe here.


The Miserable Rich – Probably Will

Overcome Out February 2 Via Ruin Records

A pleasant tune with a juxtapostioned compelling video.

 

VR Sex – Real Doll Time

Hard Copy Out March 22 Via Dais Records

Not deviating from their original body of work, no surprises, but a lot of energy.
