I think that you have to like a song that is inspired by "the idea of hexxing an ex-boyfriend and causing him to start balding". Kitty has been called a "Disco Cowgirl", I totally get it. The electro draws you in but you stay for the low key country vibe that you have hidden here.... Continue Reading →
I love Sweden, there is something beautifully chilled and mysterious about it, to me at least. That feeling of quiet intricacy and darkness has been captured perfectly by Matilda Mård as Many Voices Speak. Layers and layers of vocals, chilled as f--- drums (which I love) and the organ like keys merged in synth. Nothing... Continue Reading →
Each time I listen to this track it buries itself in my mind. I think the OPD really have a knack for crafting real earworms. This is another synth-tastic rabble rowsing anthem, if you need to feel better about how life is going, smash some OPD on close your eyes and dance like no one... Continue Reading →
Sometimes you just want to close your eyes and drift away somewhere else because everything seems just too much. This is a track that you need in your life. Layers and layers of reverberated depth, electro glitches and synth like guitars make this a beautiful offering that could have been in an 80s cult movie.... Continue Reading →
If you like crunchy, bouncy indie that reminds you of giddy summer evenings then you'll probably absolutely love this little gem. It's like the soundtrack to a drunken Greek holiday, brilliant. So there are a few things here that I'm reminded of but by and large The Official Secrets Act/Citizens!, Gang of Four and Millburn... Continue Reading →
Musically reminiscent of the wave of 'New Rave' bands (New Young Pony Club, The Sunshine Underground, Hot Chip etc) from a few years ago but carried off with a lot more style, KellyMarie makes effortlessly perfect Indie Disco tunes. The swooping backing keys build an amazingly laid back office party disco tune. Everything is pulled... Continue Reading →
Do you, like me, have a real soft spot for slightly spooky, verging on dark, cabaret type tunes that leave you feeling that there must be something more than just catchy lyrics? This is for you! From a haunting keyboard to a driving bassline and powerful vocals, there really isn't anything to dislike. This is... Continue Reading →
To start, let's talk about 'Friends' the twee indie-pop banger. There is a definite style that Joe has that he has absolutely mastered here, the catchy riffs and multi layered guitar work which instantly makes you think this could be a 60s b-side from the Doors or Kinks but then, as soon as I heard...

Driving bassline, tight beat and moody atmospheric keys. From Bristol to Vienna, the disconnected themes of Einsam are pretty stark and to be honest, pretty un-pause-able (just made up a word there). I really can imagine anything other than smoky European bars and basement gigs, this track is one hundred percent built for it. Times... Continue Reading →
Massive Stranger Things 80s dream pop vibes here, like everything about this track feels like it's been made for the Breakfast Club. It's incredible. So aside from the blanket of keys with the massive synth build up, the offset of chimes really works. Everything seems so considered that it is almost like the whole song... Continue Reading →
