Laserbeam is their first release of the year from Phantom Runners, bring you a summer's day in mid-February with its laid-back rhythms, guitar bursts and soft meadow-breeze harmonies.
LA84 - So So Happy
There's an exuberance running right through So So Happy, the first release from new alt-duo LA84.

The greatest aspect of the video for Elsewhere is how it works with the music and never once makes you feel even slightly guilty for still loving the 90s.

Give up the ghost, but don't give up your day job. Give out but don't give up, give in, give over, give it away give it away give it away now. I'm a change giver,...
Public Service Broadcasting - Gagarin (Psychemagik Remix)
'Psychemagik takes the funked up horns of Gagarin and fashions them into disco dance-floor wedges'

Panda Knights - Sunrise
I'm a bit of a sucker for a nu-disco beat, a vaguely balearic vibe or a lyric that in any way whatsoever references summer and good weather. Sunrise wins on all counts.
Keto - Change / Otherside
Change / Otherside is a double a-side and the first release from Keto, a four-piece Nottingham band fronted by Leah Sinead. Both tracks are atmospheric slow-burners that reveal new depths with each listen.
Our Man in Berlin - Molière
In Molière, guitars bubble, the beat shuffles, and it all builds into a chaotic clashing whirl that's a shock in contrast to the track's cool beginnings.
Lull - Dead Or Alone
From the moment the title track kicks in to the last moments of gentle feedback of Bubble Tea, this three track EP from Lull is a heavy, crunching, distorted, woozy fifteen minutes of shoegazing and...

Everything Everything - Distant Past
Distant Past is - as we've come to expect from Everything Everything - playful and strange, with a sound that refuses to settle.
