Austin-based duo Mirror Mask are similar to a number of electronic outfits in that there is very little information, but their mysteriousness makes no difference when it comes to the music. With undeniable shades of The Cure, ‘Always’ has dark, industrial undertones which are sweetened by an irresistible melodic pulchritude. If this is a taster of what’s to…
Bedrockk feat. Lyrique: ‘Show Me’
Sampling tracks can be a very hit and miss art, but Bedrockk has revived Robin S’s immense hit ‘Show Me‘.
Chaika: ‘I Fall’
Leeds quartet Chaika have followed-up previous releases ‘The Mirror‘ and ‘The Quietness‘ with new anthem ‘I Fall’.
Man Of Moon: ‘Sign’
Edinburgh duo Man Of Moon have already become one of this year’s most exciting Scottish musical prospects. Debut single ‘The Road’ not only floored a number of the bands peers, but it also made London’s music press and industry sit up and pay attention. ‘Sign’ is the follow-up taken from their Medicine EP, due out…
Mhairi: ‘Crystalline’
It’s easy for bloggers and journalists to comment on an artist’s age, especially when they produce music that puts them in the same league as the likes of early Portishead and Massive Attack.
Fresh: Alfred Hall: ‘Safe & Sound (Simon Field Remix)’
Norwegian duo Alfred Hall‘s EP Safe and Sound has received high praise. Hans Thomas and Bjørn Tveit title track ‘Safe and Sound’ has been remixed by a list of notable producers including Simon Field.

Fresh: Isle – ‘Surrender’
Having created quite the impression with Mast, Liam Rutherford and Ben Singer are now reincarnated as Isle. Rutherford has come a long way since his first demos and it’s no secret I am an avid supporter. There is no question this is a mainstream pleaser, but having seen this duo perform live a few times…
Fresh: Gypsy and the Cat – ‘Inside Your Mind’
Melbourne duo Gypsy and the Cat have revealed their crackerjack video for latest track ‘Inside Your Mind‘. A hugely enjoyable and wonderfully disposable pop-penning for the listener, this is a dream odyssey.
Fresh: Flora Cash – ‘For Someone’
Flora Cash is husband and wife Cole Randall and Shpresa Lleshaj. The Swedish duo have released bewitching sonnet ‘For Someone’. Peppered vocally with warbling leaps into soaring vibrato, there is something beautifully cinematic about this song. They capture an underlying sadness that is unexpectedly moving.
Fresh: Buddha Trixie – ‘Real’
Buddha Trixie describe themselves as four college kids holed up in a garage in San Diego which is perfectly reflected in their latest track ‘Real’. This is not so much recycling classic rock ‘n’ roll, but reviving it with added ebullience. This is an exciting new wave attack that goes way beyond the band’s years.
