A languidly pleasant track.

Like That – Out October 7 via Chapter Music

If ‘The Rapture’ and ‘Modest Mouse’ had music babies, this would be them.

 

October And The Eyes

‘Tit Pic’

Comes across like the opening band that ends up stealing the show from the headliner, keep an eye on this lot.

Both the video and music are haunting, craving a spooky fix? Look no further.

If you used to run an improve group out of a church hall in Pittsburgh, this might be the song for you.

 

Yumi and the Weather

‘Can You Tell’

A fast moving that packs heavy undertones.

 

Native Harrow

‘Old Kind of Magic’

Old Kind of Magic – Out October 28 on Loose Records

This track definitely brings back that old timey microphone magic.

 

Le Junk

‘Midnight Lover’

Out Now via Superstar Recordings

Le Junk’s no drunk dial hussy, his latest is a midnight lover’s go to reach-out. Another toe tapping hip shaker.

 

Lunge

‘O.W.T.H. (Off With Their Heads)’

Out now – Via Raw Carrots/Barce Yourself Press

It’s got that early ‘00s UK Skunk Anansie meets Hercules and Love Affair feel to it.

 

 

 

Singles That Mingle

A massive dose of deadly singles from our resident expert, Captain Stavros 

False Heads

‘Mime the End’

Sick Moon - Out September 30 on Scruff of the Neck Records

A real nuts and bolts track, reminiscent of Blood Red Shoes hungrier days.

Bloomsday

‘Voicemail’

Place To Land out June 10 via Bayonet Records

A jam with a light touch.

Alice Low

‘Sodomizer’

A funkload of OG riffs on this absolute gem of a jam, it's got that big sword energy you never knew you needed.

Bonnie Trash

‘Teeth’

Single out now via Hand Drawn Dracula

Do, do, a double take on this ghostly identical duo as they cut their teeth on this haunting single.

Clamm

‘Monday’

Care out August 19 via Meat Machine Records

A tune spitting so much heat it'll take your head off and cauterize wound at the same time.

Exister out Sept 23 via Sacred Bones

Surf's up dudes! Dark wave surf. The long awaited follow up to 2018’s Criminal is almost here.

Don't want to miss your stop on the tube? Fire this bad boy on and sleep will be the least of your concerns.

DEUX FURIEUSES

‘Resolute’

I’d say it was a well-timed release, but they literally could have released it any time in the last 12 years and it would have been well timed

Ellie Bleach

‘Big Strong Man’

No Elegant Way To Sell Out, Out October 6 on Sad Club Records

Ellie’s new on the scene so you’ll likely not recognize the music when it pipes through your listening device. It’ll be the first time the tunes’ll make you take notice but not the last.

Muna Ileiwat

‘Pity Party’

Twenty-Seven out August 19 on FOMO Records

Great summer late nights playlist material.

Tan Cologne

‘Floating Gardens’

Earth Visions of Water Spaces out September 9th on Labrador Records

If a Zephyr transmogrified itself into a song, this would be it.

October and The Eyes

‘Jack Black Must Die’

EP Who Upset You? Out Now on Kro Records

I think the YouTube description said it best, ‘Any comparison to real life people is defintely not coincidental’.

KEG

‘Elephant’

Gerders EP out September 2 Via ALCOPOP! Records

We’ll keep promoting KEG as long as they continue their strange trip down Absurdity Boulevard.

The Paranoyds

‘Lizzie’

TALK TALK TALK Out September 9 via Third Man Records

If America ever decides to dip their big toe into Eurovision, this should be their 2023 submission.
