Vanbot - The Way You Say It
Vanbot has put out a third track from forthcoming second album Perfect Storm. It is almost, but not quite, a straightforwardly massive slice of euro-synth. And it's that "not quite" that makes The Way You...
Ella Janes - Mechanical Mind
Mechanical Mind is heavenly acoustic folk, built on Janes' pure vocal, with no more instrumentational embellishment than is required from a bit of guitar here, a few notes on the piano there. A superb track...
Yukon Blonde - Como
Catchy, catchy, catchy. Pretty much sums up the defining characteristic of Como, the new single from Yukon Blonde. Taken from their third album, On Blonde, due out next month, Como is splendidly effervescent indie pop...
Tessera Skies - Out of Sight
The members of Tessera Skies have backgrounds in speech, sound, science, classical music and jazz. On their latest single Out of Sight they whip delicate peaks out of those ingredients
Urso Polar - It's Official I Hate Ramsgate
It might seem strange for a Brazilian indie-rock group to be singing about a Kentish seaside town, but don't get distracted for too long by that quirky detail - instead be sure to let the...
Saltwater Sun - Habit on my Mind
It shouldn't be possible, really, for a band to appear out of nowhere with a debut track that appears to have been constructed from just the right elements in exactly the right size and quantity,...
New Music Round-up
'New Music Round-up #20 brings you the best new music from C. Love Detectives, Cartesian Jetstream, Cosby, The Danes, Dot Dash and Inti Rowland.'
New Music Round-up

New Music Round-up
We've been away. We're back. Sort of. We checked our mail bag; it was overflowing with music. And so begins again the new music round-up, with tracks from Dead Cockroach, Willie J Healey, Janice Prix,...
Harriet Little - America
Recorded in one take, with a tender intimacy, the occasional instrumental creaks that frame America could equally be the sound of a heart breaking, over and over.
New music playlist 2015//13
'The new music playlist for week 13 covers another pretty fantastic week of new releases across the usual wide spectrum of styles and sounds: from electropop to indie rock, from electronica to freak folk, RRP...
Idea The Artist - Seafloor
Seafloor was the last of three singles released in advance of an album of the same name on March 24th by singer-songwriter Inés Beltranena, as Idea The Artist. Using the seafloor as a metaphor for...
Lisa Alma - Fine
Due for release next week, Fine is the latest single from Danish alt pop singer and song-writer Lisa Alma. Another track taken from her forthcoming album Sweater, it's further evidence that Alma is one of...
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Step Brother City
Step Brother City is the new single from the lengthily but brilliantly named Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. Taken from their forthcoming album The High Country. It's a solid roller-coaster ride of power pop...
Beach Baby - Bruise
Bruise is the flipside to the frankly fantastic and song of the year contender (and so soon, too!), Ladybird, by Beach Baby. It rounds out a very impressive debut release for the London-based band.
Femme - S.O.S
After a hat-trick of stellar singles from Femme, here comes a fourth in the shape of S.O.S. More brilliance, more big chorus, more production magic, more reason to love Femme before everyone else discovers her....
Slug - Greasy Mind
Greasy Mind is a new single from Slug, the band formed by Ian Black, previously bass player with Field Music. While leaning to a degree on the angular art-rock of Field Music and its already...
Strangely Alright - Come On
The latest single from Strangely Alright, Come On fires on all power pop cylinders, in the process creating a rollicking kind of drive that's got a little bit of Feeder about it.
Cotton Claw - Grainy
Grainy is the first taste of Volutes, the debut album from Cotton Claw. It's smooth, warm and alive in a way that you might not expect from music created by four producers and 64 pads....
Kid Astray - It's Alright
Kid Astray have already charmed us into submission with previous single Still Chasing Nothing. Today, the Norwegian 6-piece have repeated the trick (and then some) with their new single It's Alright.
