Ready to let something beautiful into your weekend? Try this out for size. Retro stylings of Lime Juice, the obvious comparison would be Tame Impala but to be honest, I think this draws further afield. There is some real chilled jazz here, especially in the break down section. Those keys are awesome, the drums have... Continue Reading →
Squeeze. Instantly thinking of Squeeze and Ian Dury and the Bockheads, as well as one of my favourites Hatcham Social. I love these downplayed slightly unhinged dark songs. The lyrics are class, the guitars are so incessant and Gang of Four that it's just genius. There is something so relaxing in the matter of fact... Continue Reading →
This world that we live in has become strange and unpredictable. Chork has harnessed the idea that you can still be in love in this socially disconnected world, whether it is reciprocated or not. A song about loss, about being apart, about love, it's got it all here. It doesn't dwell on unhappiness, infact it... Continue Reading →
This is exactly what you need if you have been back to work this week. It's exactly what you need if you're still stuck indoors. So when I first heard this track I got a real Blood Red Shoes vibe but as it progresses you get swallowed by the massive bass, the atmospheric chorus, the... Continue Reading →
Unsuspectedly electro, incredibly different and actually one of the best things I have heard in this vein for a while. So think of Peter, Bjorn and John meets Kraftwerk. The song breaks into a guitar led quirky, bouncy, muted tune where the vocals really take centre stage, the raspy meanderings through the verse are amazing... Continue Reading →
H E A V Y C O A S T * have just released their debut single on all streaming platforms, it's a mellow lo-fi indie pop song that puts me in mind of Bombay Bicycle Club with a Hatcham Social retro vibe and a Johnny Marr guitar riff. Theres definately a claustrophobic lo-fi feel... Continue Reading →
From the beautiful but cold city of Edinburgh comes Sarah Martinson. She has just released her album Back To You on all platforms and she creates a massive mix of music. Branching from almost folk to jazz to pop to slightly experimental for example If We Knew, which is actually really quite bizarre in it's... Continue Reading →
Now, I know this will be devisive, Jet Pack Dog are really, really different. It's like going back to my days at college when New Young Pony Club, Klaxons first album and Test Icicles were newly on the scene and it was a scary time for anyone that didn't know what this day-glo mass was....

This is a song of many sides. There are elements of electronic dance, indie pop, and a loud rock drum beat. It's mixed awesomly, the keys in the breakdown and the drums could be in an Ibiza summer hit. The whole package feels like it should be relaxing but it has a frenzy to it.... Continue Reading →
Today being Sunday, the day of rest, I thought it'd be fitting to write up Birmingham's Liamosino. Psych and 60's hippie vibes absolutely drip from this track, I think it'll be a definite hit with the counter-culture crowd. Interesting side note, I read that Liamosino is 'one of the only people to successfully pull off... Continue Reading →
