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,...
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.
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...

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....

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.
Ryan O'Reilly - Northern Lights
File under: sounds like one man, is really a band (see also Franz Ferdinand, Richmond Fontaine, Josef K…)
Nakey - No Job

Seattle Yacht Club - I Hate Goodbyes

The Sinclair Sinclair - Cosmos
