Active Child - 1999

The first fruit of an album written almost entirely on harp and piano, 1999 is a track nostalgic for past love, and affectingly beautiful with it. It probably won't be the only soulful piano-led lament...

Blur - There Are Too Many Of Us

Showcasing what's already being described as Blur's "other side", There Are Too Many Of Us employs warbly synth (and occasional warbly Damon-song) to make the point that it's a bit crowded here on planet earth....

False Advertising - Wasted Away

Wasted Away is the debut single from Manchester band False Advertising. They bring a fuzzy kind of noise that's got more than a little of the '90s about it and a whole truck load of...

The Black Ryder - Let Me Be Your Light

No two ways about it: Let Me Be Your Light is the most instantly worship-inducing, haunting, evocative song I've heard this week. It's taken from The Door Behind The Door, the new album from The...

Wisht Hounds - Wild in City

Hailing from the same windswept Dartmoor environment as their mythical namesakes, Wisht Hounds are a new alt-pop outfit consisting of Ella Edmondson and Rollo Smallcombe. They are, thankfully, a much more comforting proposition than those...

Blind Lake - Walk Beside Me

Walk Beside me is the first single from On Earth, the forthcoming album from Swedish duo Blind Lake. It's a celebration of love, life, and energy through the medium of a bouncy disco beat and...

Pollen - Packaging

Packaging is the second single from Buyer's, the second EP by Austin, TX punk / garage band Pollen. It's a heady two and half minutes of anti-consumerism, anti-marketing, angular and spiky garage rock.

M.A.G.S. - My Love

'My Love, from Buffalo newcomer M.A.G.S. is, remarkably, all the work of just one man - Elliott Douglas. After a handful of live shows, this high-class indie rock is a scorching way to begin a...

Cabane - Sangokaku

Sangokaku, along with La Gomera, is a new double a-side release from Cabane, the new project from Thomas Jean Henri. Featuring a host of collaborators, both tracks are quite beautifully rendered acoustic moments.

Death Cab For Cutie - Little Wanderer

'As Little Wanderer started to play through the first time I started wondering if this was going to be the point where Kintsugi, the new album from Death Cab For Cutie, started to fade after...

Listen to Bernard + Edith's Ballet School remix / US Tour Dates

Ballet School's new Bella Union labelmates Bernard + Edith have remixed Gray from last year's The Dew Lasts An Hour: listen and download the remix here.

Depth & Current - Believe

Believe is the new album from Oklahoma noise rock / shoegaze outfit Depth & Current. Released at the end of February, it's an eight-track explosion of dark noise and heavyweight shoegazing cut through with occasional...

Turtle - Silent Weapons

Silent Weapons is taken from Colours, the second EP from Glasgwegian producer and songwriter Jon Cooper, aka Turtle. You have to hear it to believe how seductive this electronica is.

Wetwood Smokes - Organ Donor

Organ Donor is the title track from the second EP from Orange Country indie trio Wetwood Smokes, due out tomorrow (March 19th). It's an atmospheric slow-burner that'll make you want to wave whatever you're allowed...

Seagoat - Comfort Girl

If you like your electronica a little bit trippy, with synthesised strings popping in and out, gentle keyboard lilts and soft vocals occasionally heading heavenwards, then Comfort Girl is definitely one for you to add...

And So I Watch You From Afar - Wasps

For a track that threatens to veer off into fairly progressive waters, Wasps, the second track And So I Watch You From Afar have chosen to showcase their forthcoming album Heirs, is impressively powerful, and...

Titanics - Terrain

Terrain is a new single from Albany, NY duo Titanics. It's a sublime slice of something hovering gently at the intersection of electropop and indie-pop. Or, as the band themselves say, "tranquilpop".

Kaiser Chiefs - Falling Awake

Falling Awake is the first release from the as-yet untitled sixth album by Kaiser Chiefs, following last year's **Education, Education, Education & War**. It does pretty much exactly what you'd expect, in pretty much exactly...

UUMA - Let Nobody Know

Let Nobody Know is the beautiful debut single from Helsinki-based UUMA. It's a song that is part bright crystalline reflection, part soft vocals and soft hands delivering a consummate guitar solo.

Waterstrider - Nowhere Now

Funky bass, drums and guitar meet Nate Salman's sweet falsetto on Nowhere Now, the new single from Oakland, CA's Waterstrider. The title track from their forthcoming album of the same name, it has a vibe...
