Rob Bravery - Broom Cupboard
'Hints of Richard Swift meets Sondre Lerche (plus maybe a touch of Ed Harcourt) in Broom Cupboard, the new single from Bristolian artist Rob Bravery. '
Gengahr - Tired Eyes
'Just to show that they are brimming with ideas and spare material, Gengahr surprise us all with a brand new EP. This is Gengahr, no doubt: Bushe’s high-pitched misty vocals and jangling guitars all delivered...
Spirit Animal - Regular World
Heavy on the riffage from the outset, Regular World reveals more strands of considerable interest than you might expect after the first couple of bars.
Sports - Get Bummed Out
Wild, ebullient garage indie-pop deserves a place in everyone's heart. Especially when it's as captivating and distractingly melodious as Get Bummed Out, the new single from Sports.
Mountains of the Moon - Translucent Amber
Translucent Amber is the debut release by Swedish folk rock band Mountains of the Moon. As debuts go, it's up there with the loveliest and the warmest.
Wedding - Ruth
Ruth is the first track from the self-titled debut EP by Wedding. It's warm and nostalgic, just the way analogue intended.
Swerve - Everything
As everything develops, a little extra riff gets added here, a harmony is dropped in there, and new vocal melodies are found here, there and everywhere.
Cavalry - Soak
Atmosphere. By God there's some of it floating around at the start of Soak, the new track from Liverpool's Cavalry.
Lila Rose - This Could Be Ha
On This Could Be Ha, Lila Rose plays it intense once more, with another dramatic and fierce single and cinematic video.
Butterfly Child - Lost in These Machines

Cheatahs - Signs to Lorelei
Cheatahs have shared Signs to Lorelei, a new track from their forthcoming second album, Mythologies, due out at the end of next month.
Mainland - Not As Cool As Me
From the opening words - "Girl you suck!" - it's pretty clear where Not As Cool As Me is going, emotionally speaking. And goes and goes, and doesn't let up.
Delamere - Heart
Stoke's Delamere have gone sincere and gone big on their fourth release, Heart. A huge, clean, guitar and synth driven indie-pop anthem, it demands to be heard and repeated.
King Colour - You Just Don't Know It Yet
Take a little funk, a little of that Mac DeMarco guitar wobble, and a little personal confession and the result is You Just Don’t Know It Yet, the fourth single from Sydney's King Colour.
Pumarosa - Priestess
Priestess, you dance, you dance, you dance is the nagging, bewitching chant from Muñoz-Newsome as electronics and guitars meld and the groove sweeps you along, the drone somehow never muddying the waters.
Saltwater Sun - Making Eyes
Having made waves with their debut release Habit On My Mind earlier in the year, Saltwater Sun have announced the follow-up, Making Eyes. Both tracks, along with the title track, feature on the band's debut...
Intertwine - My Only Lie is Silence
My Only Lie is Silence is the second single from electro-ambient Norwegian artist and architect Tarjei Ekelund, aka Intertwine. Tarjei is open about his own introverted nature, and admits this personal song examines just that....
Pretty City - Melt
Melt is at the heavy, gritty end of shoegaze. Its nu-gaze smashed on the rocks textures are ones you might find in the crater of an active supervolcano.
