'Dark is the lush first (original) release from LA artist SILVR: mid-tempo and very smooth, with soft, high vocals played off against rumbling electro-bass. Recommended.'

Walking in the Cemetery is a reworking of a b-side from Ramona Lisa's Dominic EP. Stripping the song's electronic sheen and its pops and percussions, this new version turns the song into a delicate and...

The new music playlist seems to get better each week. Can this trend continue indefinitely? I'll be a quivering wreck by the end of the year if it does...

Alligator Years is the title track from Twinsmith's second album, soon to be released by Saddle Creek. Its playful keyboard-led vibe wants to invite you in, practically slapping you on the back in encouragement.

Joke is the second single from Chastity Belt's forthcoming album Time To Go Home, out on March 24th via Hardly Art. As with the title track, released a few months back, there's a truly satisfying...

A synthpop reworking of a Mötley Crüe single? Sounds just about crazy enough to work, but can Chelsea Lankes pull it off with Too Young To Fall In Love? Come on in and find out......

Emily is the third track from San Fermin's forthcoming album Jackrabbit. Coming on strong sounding kinda like The National with a little dance-shimmy in their step, Allen Tate's baritone and some oh-so-smooth brass sway in...

Technicolour Beat could be one of several peaks from Oh Wonder in 2015. Its consummate restraint, constant holding back, and its smallness are remarkable and rewarding.

Where Gillbanks' debut release "Anxious?" was rough and raucous, on "Loosen Up" they demonstrate a more melodic side, with chiming guitars sidling up alongside occasional bursts of guitar melody and a wistful lyric

I Just Love You is the second of three releases before the release of The Seafloor. In places dark and foreboding, it's lifted by the clarity of Beltranena's classically trained vocals.

'Find Yourself, the new single from Dutch artist and multi-instrumentalist Jacco Gardner, is a slice of high quality modern psychedelia - a gentle wander through the perfumed garden of mildly trippy experimentation.'
