Natalie McCool - Pins

Pins is a beautiful pop song with an infectious melody and beautiful vocals, nowhere more so than in the chorus as McCool pulls melodical magic out of a hat

New Arcades - Wherever You Are

New Arcades came to my attention when they supported Empathy Test at their EP launch gig at the end of November last year. It's an ideal match, with both groups generating gorgeous synth-pop sounds.
