If I Were King is the debut single by Manchester-based solo artist Nicholas James Mallins, due out on March 9th. It’s the first part in a triptych of tracks Mallins will be releasing; the triptych...

Pinocchio is taken from the album Love is Louder, due out this summer. It starts off very good, then goes stratospheric with the arrival of its killer chorus. Awesomeness + attitude = Pinocchio.

Here’s a quick measure of how things have progressed here at Record Rewind Play.

Hold Me Closer is an electro-guitary triumph that somehow seems to gather layers, pace and intensity with every beat, while still retaining a sense of space and a still center.

While listening to this magnificently chilled track from Meeka Kates just now I lost all sense of time and space, finding myself carried further and further away on each wisp of The Waves.

On Waterfalls Balency already sounds more confident and assured than on her debut EP - it's a rich and beguiling introduction to an artist on the rise.

No Room In Frame follows hot on the heels of Black Sun, and while it doesn't have that track's shades and textures, it certainly scores high on the "Hallmark Death Cab Indicators" scale, with a...

Zen A starts with echoey summer surf guitars, and something that sounds a hell of a lot like the sea. From then on it's a cool sense of a good day in the sun.

Comfortable Lie is a superb debut that bides its time before revealing its hand, switching effortlessly from the song's easy-going drifter-like start into a burst of intensity near the end.

Lilt's latest single, Don't Tell Me, doesn't let the quality dip, and takes the emotional intensity to new heights.

Rays of light burst through Air's surface, shafts of pure synth reaching for the skies, eliminating any sense of claustrophobia despite the layers of sound and the urgent lyrics.

'Modern Love is a hellishly catchy piece of indie-dance: high up the vocals are beautiful, while the bass explodes time and again.'

While I can't condone the literal sentiment behind the chorus of Books ("Set fire to the books that you read") under any circumstances, I am right behind the intense electropop sounds, huge synths and beats,...

Look Out - here comes insistent electropop that sounds like Phoenix on a dance high and at the controls of a 'spacey sound effects' gadget. Don't even try to resist.

The lyrics to Golden Vanity were found by The Hanging Stars in an Alan Lomax anthology; the warm, harmony-filled melody is all their own.

Running Amongst The Stars is an acoustic-folk dream that flits effortlessly between two time signatures, capturing at the intersections the near-silence of the distant night sky.

How Long Must a Woman Mourn is an epic storm of folk pain that you need to know about.

Immured is 'a haunting duet inspired by the ghost of an Eastern European bride who was entombed inside of stone walls while her mother looked on'.
